Before we made an offer to buy a Honda Accord last year, I went to the 'Prices Paid' forum and tried to determine how much others were paying. I was amazed that some people claimed they were buying Accords for $500 under invoice.
 
We computed an OTD price based on $500 under invoice, went to a Honda dealer, made an offer, and they accepted.
 
I have no idea how much Tributes are selling for, so I can't say if your offer makes any sense at all.
 
From my experience, the TMV price here at Edmunds is way too high.
 
Of course, your offer will probably be refused. If you walk out, there is a good chance they will change their mind and accept your offer. That's how it has been with our last three car purchases.

I believe the Tribute is being discontinued by Mazda at the end of this year. So, I think you can do a lot better than $800 over invoice.
 
Check out "Negotiation Strategies" and "Buying Tips" in the Smart Shopper boards. Consolidate everything you read into your own personal method on how to buy cars. If you try to decide whos advice to take from the thousands of posts, you'll go nuts.

There will not be a Tribute for model year 2007 but it will return in early 2007 as a 2008 model...but like you mentioned, good deals can easily be found....Especially this month without any 3 to sell.

Confusing Buyers Order line items in OTD price by mavenone
Sep 07, 2009 (10:59 am)

I signed 'Retail Buyers Order' for a Vehicle at a TN dealer that is "in-transit".
  
This is what the buyers order says.
  
MSRP: 31800.00
Business Tax: 96.60
Doc Fee: 399.00
sub-total: 32295.60
state sales tax: 2260.00
Local sales tax: 80.00
License Fee: 117.00
Temporary Tag: 5.50
-------------------------
Total: 34758.00
Rebate: 1250.00
-----------------------------
Total (after rebate): 33508.79
  
What is confusing us is tax percent in TN is 9.25%, but 2260 tax is 7.1% of 31800?
  
I don't know what they mean by by business tax.
  
Can someone explain these numbers?
  
Thanks in advance.

I believe that the state sales tax in Tennessee is 7%. The 9.25% you quoted may include county and/or municipal sales taxes that may not be figured into your purchase.
 
This is how the numbers work out:
 
0.07×$32,295.60 = $2,260.69
 
which looks like you paid state sales tax on the business tax (double taxation!).
 
Can anyone verify?
