#52 of 719 Malibu Maxx LS [ with Option Package 1SB] by arizonaturbo Jun 08, 2004 (12:13 pm)
Replying to: pao (Apr 21, 2004 11:20 am) FYI... We just purchased a 2004 Malibu Maxx LS on June 8, 04 with the 1SB Option package for $19,243 out the door at Penske Chevrolet in Indianapolis. Went through Cars.com for referal dealership based on zip code. No haggling, they simply gave me dealer invoice price (or Internet price they call it) plus a $4000 rebate. It turned out to be a better deal "off the street" than my GM SUPPLIER discount which included only a $3,500 rebate. It appears to me that GM is desperate to unload these 04 vehicles. Great value!   Our Figures: Invoice on Stock $21833.88 IN Sales Tax 6% 1310.03 Doc Fees 98.00 Indiana Tire Tax 1.25 Rebates <4000.00>   TOTAL VEHICLE PURCHASE PRICE $19243.16 Replies to this message: maxx4me (Jun 08, 2004 1:08 pm)

Replying to: arizonaturbo (Jun 08, 2004 12:13 pm) congrats AZturbo. I'm guessing then, when we use the $4k check, that it cannot be combined with the $1,500 cash back that the general public is getting right now, correct?
#54 of 719 Got my MAXX LT today!!! by map013 Jun 09, 2004 (2:01 pm)
I picked up my Black Malibu Maxx LT with the all the options, including DVD, Onstar, XM radio, etc. MSRP was $27645. I am a gm supplier and qualified for pricing, but got a better deal going with invoice plus $4000 GM loyalty rebate along with my $1000 GM card points. Traded in a 95 Blazer at KBB trade-in of $4000 for a bottom line of $18000 O.T.D.. Financed through local credit union.
#55 of 719 gmbuypower.com price quote by mtrush Jun 09, 2004 (8:26 pm)
I got a quote on a Malibu thru gmbuypower.com and the price is $350 above the TMV. Are price quotes made thru gmbuypower firm or still negotiable ?   Thanks
#56 of 719 When in doubt, neogiate! by oldntired1950 Jun 10, 2004 (2:42 pm)
Nothing is ever etched in stone. I got a GM buypower price and then presented the dealer with the online coupon from their website and saved another $300. Why not try getting buypower quotes from several area dealerships?
#57 of 719 Owner Loyalty Rebate by mtrush Jun 12, 2004 (10:29 am)
The owner loyalty rebate on Malibu has apparently been raised to $4000 from $3000 last week. Based on past patterns, what is the likelihood it will be raised again ? Also, GM says the offer is good thru Aug 2. Could they still rescind the offer before then ?
#58 of 719 by maxx4me Jun 12, 2004 (11:14 am)
no. I just came from the dealer yesterday, who, thanks to my buying service, opens up all the books and lets me know what is what. He said that once GM raises the rebate, it won't go lower than that; instead, it may head even higher. My dealer is flooded with inventory since apparently, GM does not allow their dealers to control their own inventory. As a result, there are a lot of '04s out there that need to be moved before the '05s go into production. I may not wait any longer, but if you can, and don't mind a smaller pool of cars to choose from, I would bet the rebate goes one step higher.
#59 of 719 Dealer fees ? by mtrush Jun 13, 2004 (8:37 am)
While looking thru car ads in the paper, I noticed almost all of them mention in the fine print that they charge a "dealer fee" of between $300 and $400. Is this legitimate ? If I plan on paying the TMV for a new car, should I subtract from it the amount of this "dealer fee" ?
#60 of 719 by maxx4me Jun 13, 2004 (12:45 pm)
to me, dealer fee means paper processing and advertising. Some dealers are charging up to $299 in my area for paper processing alone. Remember: negotiate a price....a final price, and let them know it won't be higher once you enter the finance officer's woodshed.
#61 of 719 Doc fees and the like by mfletouva Jun 14, 2004 (7:30 am)
I haven't actually bought a Maxx yet even though I'd like to because with my financial situation its a little dicey, but I did negotiate last week to find out exactly what I'd need to pay. I stopped negotiating at around $300 under invoice, + the $4k rebate and another $1k from a GM Card. The dealer I got the best price from had a $289 doc fee, I told them that it was excessive and that I'd only pay $99, and it was done. They changed their offer to $500 under invoice in order to reduce the doc fee. Don't be afraid to flat out refuse to pay it, above $70 or so its all padded profit and can be negotiated.   By the way, a few hours later another dealer called and when told of my current best offer expressed confidence they could beat it by at least a few hundred. Until I'm ready to actually do it, I'm not going to get into it with them but I think I can probably get as low as 700 or 800 under invoice.
