hi,
 
Since most of the people are doing negotiations online, can anyone post a good draft of an email which got them the best bargain.
 
thank u

msrr, If no one has anything for you, you might want to use one of the online sites like Fighting Chance where they provide (for $40) a package of information, tactics, and draft bid request letter/email for just such a process. I did not use it, but bought it and believe it is very worthwhile.
 
I was planning on doing the email bid requests, but decided to go see if I could get the incredibly deep below invoice prices that other here have reported on the last day of November, as I did not have enough time for the whole email process unless I waited to year end (which I was ready to do).
 
So I went to the closest dealer that had the car with the color and options we wanted, told them what I was willing to pay today if they could give me that price and if not, I'd be happy to include them in my email bid process at the end of the year. There was a few minutes of negotiations where they offered some very good reasons why my price was not reasonable, but finally took it to the owner or sales manager or someone who countered only $200 higher, but also gave a 3 month delay in starting payments (the 0% "financing" deal) That was good enough for me.
 
All that said, I think the email bid process is really best, especially if you are not experienced at negotiations of this kind. I've spent a career in sales and still do not like buying a car this way, but just wanted to make sure we got the car and options we wanted. Heck, I probably could have gotten an even better deal with email bid requests. I think I got taken!
 
That email process really is the smart move.

Wake up Car_man -- value falling faaaaast by jayrider

Just saw this months auction prices for 09 murano sl's awd and they are already down to $20,400 to 22,000. With under 5k miles and average condition. That is already real close to my lease depreciation number and I still have 35.5 months to go on the lease. This is a great car and for those who lease, the more the depreciation the better the deal. The 58% depreciation number appears to be way off . I figure auction price or trade in would approach 30%. Their loss is my gain. Retail of course would be higher but if no one is buying used cars like this in 3 years, it might not be far off. Any comments?

Also there is a huge difference in the base SL and the loaded up sl and I bet you all of the sl going through the auction now are the base model cars that are fleeted out. We just bought at auction a 07 loaded up sl with no nav with only 17k miles for $24k. Options make all the difference.

You certainly got a good deal. Even though I can get auction prices, I can't buy at those prices. Dealers have to pay fees and transportation to get the cars to their lots, then mark them up accordingly. You have to be in the business to get those prices. On the other hand when you want to trade or sell your car to a dealer then you get the auction price for the most part. When did you buy your murano because my figures are current and they dropped a few grand since last month. Will keep dropping wit the oversupply of cars and few buyers. January predictions on used cars at auction are scary. But you still got a good deal and if you keep it 6 years or so you'll be fine. How did you get to purchase a murano at auction? Are you related to a dealer?

I did some business with a used car dealer and if I bring him a dozen doughnuts, he will look up the latest figures. He won't sell to me at those prices though but he will buy at those prices then mark them up.

A reporter from a national newspaper would like to speak with consumers who have been frustrated by some manufacturers’ tendency to place safety related vehicle options into expensive packages. Have you ever wanted to equip a vehicle with specific safety features that required the purchase of an entire package?

Looking For 07 SL? by gparis1

Guys,
 
I'm in the market for an 07 SL and have been seeing some prices that just don't look right. I'm dealing via email with one dealership and he's trying to sell me an 07 SE w/19k miles for $26,000. I'm thinking I could almost get an 09 SL for that kind of money? I'm looking to spend around 20k for an 07 SL with about 25k miles on it. Am I off base?
