Come on anyone that has used this site for more then a day knows that OTD is useless for the very reason that it prevents a comparison for people from different states. Of course it is important to the individual user, but this is a forum to provide the most uptodate info. My taxes in nyc are going to be way more then someone in another state. Do not include taxes title or fees that are state imposed. So if you want to use this site and be helpful to your fellow car purchaser you have to forget about OTD,

Replying to: wrjoyce (Nov 29, 2006 4:52 am) For our purposes it would be useful for posters to declare their sales tax as it can vary from a flat $300 (North Carolina?) to 9% ($2000+! ouch) --jjf Come on anyone that has used this site for more then a day knows that OTD is useless for the very reason that it prevents a comparison for people from different states.

Replying to: wrjoyce (Nov 29, 2006 4:52 am) If the user gives the "negotiated price"-TTL and the OTD price and their location, this gives the most uptodate info. To me, mixing up a trade-in only confuses the issue of the price paid. |

Replying to: pavant (Nov 28, 2006 2:19 pm) Is that too low to ask a dealer?? You must be careful because if you name too low a figure the store releases the guard dogs and you are Shanghai'd to Iraq as the subject of distasteful Al-quaida videos in Anbar province. The penalty can be severe. Seriously, The minute you name a figure you lose. Just "Is that the best you can do? ... I've got a quote lower than that from another dealer.." Repeat that about 5 times with the top 5 of the 13 responses you get from about 20-30 dealers EOM. This is obviously done by phone relaxing at your desk. They've got your cell. This results in something hopefully at, or below your (secret) target. You see, you really don't know their true cost due to the various incentive programs (mostly unadvertised) offered to the stores. If you offer a price and they accept it outright, you've paid too much. A decent rough rule of thumb is a price that has you eating about 15-20% 1st year in depreciation (wholesale) at least for a comfortable deal from the buyers standpoint. This is for 95% of consumer autos, possiblly after they have been out a month or so. That said, with the depreciation from list being about 6k, 2k off (400 under invoice?) is a decent (secret) target. $4000 ($320/mo) is enough to eat for driving a CRV for 1st year) Especially when many folks seem to have difficulty tradin em in for "book" The 2006's were going for about 2500 -3k off. The 07 seems like a sexier machine, the hatch folds up, not to the side (a pain)... But you lose the folding picnic table... I don't know if I could deal with that. If any want some advice, pass on the 2wd model. It is 1/2 the machine for a mere $1200 savings and possible 7% better mileage. In actual practice its only a $800-600 savings as there are 3x as many 4wd models and thus a better supply situation for the buyer and thus lower bids off list. rotsa ruck --jjf Thanks jfritsch. You seem to be doing lot of research. What i am mainly considering is to pay 300 to 400 above invoice, not more than that. What do you think about the decision. Is that too low to ask a dealer?? Also how to find all the dealers within 400 miles?? |

I bought a 07 LX AWD for $20,700 + Tax (5.5%) + Fees ($89) + Title ($60) = $21,987. Dealer tried to add on Splash Guard / Wheel Lock for another $200 but I refused and they took those off. Good deal ?

Replying to: 01redz06 (Nov 26, 2006 7:40 am) the reason is because it is a real fee paid by the dealer. it is an acttual cost to the dealer on every single car in his inventory. now if you want to make the destination fee part of the bargaining process that is fine but remember to add it to the MSRP when beginning to negotiate |

You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information. No referrals, either... Thanks! |
