One way to counter this, is to ensure there are no prepayment penalties. It will cost you about $100 p/m to finance 30K at 3.9%. So, if you are getting an extra $500 off to finance, then take the financing and pay off the note after 30 days. This will save you $400. As mentioned, don't bring up the trade in, until the very end. What I would always do prior to car shopping is take my vehicle to a carmax and get an appraisal, They are often good for 7 days or 500 miles. This way I had a benchmark. If the dealer was too low, I would tell them no thanks - I had a firm offer elsewhere. Remember though, you do save some coin by trading the vehicle in, as most states will charge sales tax on the net of the purchase price and the trade in. So know your sales tax rate. |

Replying to: fornov (Nov 27, 2008 4:33 am) www.edmunds.com get the invoice price of what you want, then look up what you can get for your car, and shoot for retail. You pay more to trade in period. Depends on what it is worth to you. I had a 10 year old Monte Carlo 178 K miles very clean. Dealer wanted to give me $800.oo trade in, (edmunds was $750.00 trade in) TMV was $1400.00 Retail was $1700.00 I sold it in two days for $1600.00 (with a extra set of winter tires), out in my front yard. That usually doesn't happen. Selling yourself is a pain. |

Replying to: cjofpa (Dec 02, 2008 10:29 am) WTF by 'advertising fee', they mean drop yer drawers son, and grab yer ankles, and take it. Offer them invoice, which would include the destination fees. They will be releasing the '10 in a few months.. keep that in mind. |

Thats funny! Dropping my drawers would cost more than a hundred Big Boy. I did call them on the advertising fee', told them it was left field, not the first time I have heard it. I could have hammered them for a few hundred more dollars, but at what cost. Dealer is right up the street, they give loaner cars, 15% off accessories. Honda salesmen have to make a living too. I was happy to pay $200 or $300 hundred over invoice for a Chevy, or Ford. I know about hold backs 2 to 3% MSRP, and yes they are probably hidden bonuses they get. I think invoice is a great deal. This is a tough crowd, lighten up Scrooge.
