I'm shopping 3-4 dealers for a base 2.5X Saw mention here, the holdback is $748? Is the delivery fee of $625 real, actually charged to the dealer? (central Virginia). Whats the feeling on "processing fees"? I threatened to walk on a deal once, got the fee waived. Car dealers deserve to make a living but I do make it easy on them (here's my check, I'll take that car there). What's a "fair" profit for a quick deal, $300-$500? Thanks,--

Usually $35 bucks around here, so not really enough to worry about one way or the other, to me. If it bugs you, but the dealer insists on charging it as a matter of policy, you can always ask for an extra to be thrown in as compensation - all-weather rubber floormats, a couple free oil changes, or something.

After a lot of research, test drives, phone calls and emails, I finally got a 2006 Forester X Premium auto in Steel Gray Metallic, with popular equip group 5A (auto dim mirror, homelink, compass, shock sensor), rear bumper guard, and cargo tray for $22,700 plus TT&L. Though Edmunds internet quote service got the ball rolling, I had to email the dealers in my area directly with specifics to actually get an quote, but then they all started bidding against each other, resulting in what I believe is reasonable price ($1000 less than TMV for my area). My dealer beat my bank financing rate, and met the trade-in quote from CarMax. We love our new car, and though I was tempted by the power of the XT, the X has plenty to offer, and I don't have to feel guilty or worried about gas consumption. I keep finding excuses to drive it, offering to run errands for friends and family. Big up to Edmunds, and http://www.carbuyingtips.com/ for massive help.
