Replying to: mac24 (Aug 20, 2009 3:27 am) Eeep! My ideal is to get to a price the dealer and I agree on in about a 1/2 hour. And, there was going to be a trade involved, so I definitely wouldn't want to spend 4 hours negotiating the new car price + 4 hours negotiating trade price.  A couple dealers I talked to were 50 - 70 miles away, so I don't want to go there if something really can't be worked out. I sometimes wish we could use something like a mutual auction site where they posted their car (like on eBay) with pictures, and I posted my car with pictures, CARFAX (or similar), and I bid on their car and they bid on mine, so you agreed on both prices (with minor contingencies), before going to the dealer. One dealer was willing to start the trade process over the phone, but we didn't get that far after I asked him some questions about the vehicle he had in stock and decided I wasn't going to buy it.

Replying to: wolfmanii (Aug 24, 2009 11:51 am) 1. The dealer was a jerk for bragging like that. 2. The person who bought it PAID TOO MUCH. A. At least that wasn't you. B. The dealer was probably telling that person you were going to pay MSRP.  3. They are making more Wranglers, so don't worry.

Replying to: wolfmanii (Aug 24, 2009 11:51 am) guy. Well, now you know that the dealer is a jackass- and almost certainly a liar as well. There are plenty of other Wranglers and Jeep dealers to choose from

Replying to: roadburner (Aug 24, 2009 7:00 pm) I've been reading this thread regarding current pricing on JK's and want to mention that the dealerships are no longer making their "bonus" levels by selling huge quantities of cars. We enjoyed low prices, and good negotiations when the dealers where making their profits off the bonuses for selling mass quantities of vehicles. With those bonuses levels now being impossible to meet, they must make as much money as possible on each individual deal. Make the best deal you can, but honestly don't expect to get the deals we were getting last year. No, I don't work for a car dealership (I'm a stay at home mom with a Rubicon JKU) but have friends in the industry.

That dealer called me today saying the deal he touted failed. Because that buyer could not be qualified for a loan. He asked me to negotiage on site. But he also said that this vehicle will be upgraded with bigger tire and wheel if I do not buy it this week. I guess he is just trying to play a game to create some kind of "URGENCY". Anyway, I will see him this weekend

Replying to: thecrazy8s (Aug 27, 2009 7:02 am) The goal has always been to try to make as much money as possible! Bonuses or not, cars should have price breaks just like everything else. |
