Prices in Northwest by warde

Just bought a new Eddie Bauer Expedition on Sunday. We got $14000.00 off MSRP, which works out to be $8,756.00 under invoice. Even if you minus the rebates we are still way under invoice.

First off, take the rebates off the INVOICE, not the MSRP. Factor in the holdback too (I think it's 3% of MSRP plus another 1.25% if the dealer is a blue oval dealer) and make an aggressive offer. Heck, it's already a car that's a year old! They can't expect a king's ransom for it anymore. I did a quick check on Carsdirect and it came up with a target price of $39,284. Try it with Edmunds and any other service you can find. I can find dealers here in the metro DC area offering $11,000/$12000 off MSRP on these trucks without even trying too hard. I found one dealer selling what appears to be an Expedition very similar to yours for $34900 (w/nav/dvd). It might not have everything yours has but I bet it's realy close (they didn't say the MSRP tho). So the point is, your offer is ok, but IMHO, you can do much much better. Especially since it's an '04. Sure hope you like the truck, because, afterall, THAT'S what's really important.
 
Good luck, and keep us posted.

Sorry to follow up on my own reply, but here are some #s for you.
Invoice $43,834
minus all rebates $11,000
net $32,834
The heck with holdback.
Factor in $750 profit and the total is $33,584. Offer it and see what happens. This is what I do when I buy and I've gotten some really great deals in the last few years. I have a hunch they'll consider it.
 
Good luck.

Where do you live that you are getting a "5500 matching rebate?" That does not come up in my zip code (80226). All I get is the 4500 + 500 dealer incentive.

Hi All,
 
thanks for the replys. First off,
 
This is the dealers 1st offer. We have not sat down at the table yet. I was surprised by the "matching rebate" but that is what they put down. They are throwing in $5500 right off the bat.
 
I will crunch some more numbers tonight but thank you all soooo much on the feedback and the example numbers. It gives me something to go on.
 
I do like the truck (as it is called) however I am concerned about the reliablity. Any thoughts? I know this is the prices paid place. Email me if you would like:

Ok well after much deliberation and number crunching I purchased my Expedition this morning. Here is how it turned out:
 
The total invoice on the car was 43,800
 
I offered 33,500. They countered with 34,500.
 
Final price out the door was
 
34,500 + tax, license, DH, etc.
 
That equates to about $9300 under invoice. Maybe not as good as possible but good enough for me. Plus... I talked them into throwing in the following free:
 
2 years of free maintainance (oil, etc).
2 year extended warranty (bumper to bumper) so total is 5 years or 60K. Includes free rental car for any service longer than 1 day.
Tires for life. 2 free sets of tires within 5 years.
 
Now I just hope that I don't have any major problems!
 
Thanks everyone for your help.

Curious if you checked into an 2005 with less options. It is already a year old. I just sold my 04 EB, 5.4L with 20K miles. I was stunned, resale dropped like a stone.
