Besides, should car sales reps supposed to even be on this forum?

 
As long as they aren't soliciting, they are welcome in the forums..

Steve,
 
Quick question regarding your strategy for a target price. When you talk about subtracting at least $1500 from the invoice price - hold back would that $1500 take into account any incentives, or would those be extra subtracted on top of everything else?

Hi
The $1500-$2000 I mentioned is the current Hyundai incentives. Some are for loyalty, college students, veteran, etc.
 
I determined when negotiating with several dealers that you can get them all. They never asked me for proof of military status, previous buyer, etc.
 
It seems that the manufacturer gives the dealer all the incentives totalling about $2000 total ($1000 of which applies to financing) and the dealer decides how to divy them up.
 
In order to get the full $2000 I agreed to finance just $6000, and pay the rest in cash. Ultimately I repaid the $6000 loan in less than a month.
 
My intention was to buy the car with cash like I normally do.
 
Hope this helps
Steve

Why did you buy GAP insurance? Do you really think you need it? Did the dealer force you or did you finance the car?
 
Just curious.
Steve

I asked the dealer for it. GAP insruance is very important if you are financing the car. It covers the difference between what the insurance pays to your lender and how much you still owe the lender.

I bought a 2012 SE Turbo last February. I purchased gap as well. Hyundai is building a better car, for sure...My Sonata has been fantastic...but depreciation remains a concern for me with Hyundai. So, between that and the financing it made for an easy decision
 
The gap program Im in pays 150% of the difference you stated. Ive bought a lot of cars, and when its cheap money to finance I put very little down. So in a few instances where thats been the case, its the only back end product Ive ever tacked on to a vehicle purchase.

I dont bring the doc fee into the process. My offers are always OTD. How they work the numbers isnt a concern for me if its accepted. Now, there have been a few occasions where I kindly had to explain my definition of OTD after an intial offer didnt include the doc fee. Thats when I say "Do whatever is neccessary on the bill of sale, but my accepted OTD offer is what needs to be on the retail sales contract."
 
Its never been an issue.

Between my own experiences and having several friends that are well seasoned in the business, "Springing the trade" doesnt offer an advantage to the buyer. Keep the numbers separate to avoid confusion.
 
This is very curious...Youre not being honest- so how does that strategy put you on the fast track for the best possible trade value??
 
BTW- Wouldnt you agree its a bit hypocritical to play the " Lack of dealer trust" card when youre not being upfront with your true intentions concerning a trade?
