You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
| I live in the Memphis area an wanted a Honda CRV-EX-L! I did just like car buying 101 says, get their price first and then discuss what they will give you for yours. After I haggled a price from the dealer over the web, I went in person to make the deal. Well surprise surprise the person I was talking with was not there after saying she would be, so the salesmen I talked with was completely dumb on what I had talked about with the other salesmen, of which the lady sales person had said earlier she had a "folder" on me. When I showed him the price she had sent me by email he was taken a back at the price $24,840 was their quote. I could tell he was very uncomfortable and made numerous trips back and forth to the manager. To make this short the price they offered me for my car was laughable to say the least. I just got up from my chair and left..... | |

Replying to: cyrusd (Apr 05, 2008 7:51 am) Here are detailed sales price and fees: Selling Price: $22,069.32 Tax (6.25% in Texas): $1,379.33 Deputy Service Fee: $16.50 License/Title: $74.30 State Inspection: $21.75 Documentary Fee: $50 Dealer's Inventory Tax: $50.80 Total: $23,662 /quote You beat me by around $250 (also Texas): 2008 EX 2WD Non-Nav Selling price - $21979 "paint protection sys" (wax??): $300 "dealer doc fee": $50 Tax: 1392.37 Vehicle inspec fee (??): 39.50 title, license: $93.80 Inventory tax: $47.61 Driveout (total): $23917.77 The way I see it, the wax, dealer doc fee, and inventory tax are probably fluff, but I estimated the fluff to be around $300-400 over my opening offer of invoice + TTL. The dealer was able to read from my tone that I was ready to buy if the price was close and I didn't have to pull teeth. They moved fast, quickly got to a price they knew I would likely pull the trigger on, and saved me what would have been countless more hours and aggravation driving and pitting dealer v. dealer. The first dealer I offered invoice + TTL wouldn't even talk. So, there's another data point for Texas. Probably not a record, but not too bad for a few hours work.

Replying to: alamocity (Apr 19, 2008 10:42 pm) To me, the best result is achieved for both parties by structuring a sale where the dealer can maximize its holdback/profit by selling sraight off the truck (0 days in inventory), the dealer reciprocates by minimizing markup over invoice, and both parties minimize time invested in the deal so I can get on w/my billable time and the dealer can get on to other customers and potential sales. It's a win-win approach. |

Replying to: nhlfan79 (Apr 21, 2008 12:08 pm) My dealer told me 25k drive-out on an EX-L was impossible; I would have dropped 25.2 if I knew such a deal were possible. |

Just this afternoon completed a deal on a white EX-L AWD no NAV (4wd) for $25,500 out the door. In Missouri this does not include sales tax. It did however include doc. fee which I told them I would not pay. They just lowered the sales price to 25401, which actually saves me sales tax on the 99 bucks. The car was a dealer trade at the other dealers shipping expense. The two dealers forgot to add in the mud guards and the wheel locks, so I got those as well . About a month ago I said that I had one for 25 even -- the sales person forgot to add in the destination charge-- Still got a good deal -- I think !!
