Hi all, I want to know what all charges do I need to pay for, other than TTL? On the forum I heard a few: 1. MACO (if yes, does anyone know how much it is in Los Angeles California?) 2. Documentation fees? thanks! |

Had a question about negotiating the car price through fax/email with the *fleet manager*(according to the article about the disguised car salesguy.) 1. Should I fax my config and pricing to dealers or email them? 2. If I get a real low price (say invoice price) from one of the dealers but one who is not reputed for quality of service, can I bargain another dealer based on that price? If yes, how can I make the second dealer believe that I am getting the car for the invoice price? Should I show him the fax reply? 3. Should the entire dealing be done electronically? Or after getting the price I want from one of the dealers, I should visit his office personally for the paperwork? 4. Should the car mats etc. be negotiated right at the very beginning or later on? I appreciate your comments....this forum is a fun to read (The trojan is waiting for the Rose bowl now!) |

Replying to: zebra_base (Dec 07, 2005 5:54 pm) Difeo BMW was the first to respond and agreed to my price. It was a done deal in 10 minutes, and I just got my BMW tracking #. The guy I dealt with is great, I ended up changing from the terra interior to the beige (i just can't make my mind up on this  ), no problems. He quickly confirmed my change via email, and its done. Best of luck.

Replying to: gotrojan (Dec 08, 2005 9:04 am) I actually bought my wife's car the same way. We ordered it over email with the dealer, and the first time we stepped into the dealership was when we picked up the car. Great experience and very fast. I personally don't like to play games with dealers, meaning trying to pin two dealers against each other and beat them down on price. I try to figure out what I want to pay ($700 above invoice for this particular 330i) and first dealer to agree gets my business. Otherwise, I would ask for their best offer, letting them know that you will take the best offer given and that's it. By the way - GO PENN STATE!!!!

Replying to: gotrojan (Dec 09, 2005 10:06 am) Total Price of Vehicle: 40,700 NJ Tax: 2,442 Registratio/Title Fee: 324 Doc Fee: 173.50 Total OTD: 43,639.50 I think fair.  I don't have any MACCO fees people have been talking about. Good. |
