got the new car itch after six years driving a Maxima and had some spare time after finishing up my taxes. Wanted to look at American cars but was really pi$$ed to find Korean Hankook tires on the flex-fuel Malibus i drove. Slowly getting turned off to the buying process after four days... thanks for the quick reply, jfritsch

I got the new car itch myself and requested a couple online quotes (haven't even test drove one) for the Malibus and they seem pretty arrogant in their pricing so far (or unwilling to even quote without me coming in). Granted, I didn't counter yet but they don't appear too flexible at this time. Fine. I don't really need one right now but I have the money and was willing to help out a struggling American company. Yeah, I want a substantial discount for my risk but I'm not looking to make a killing either. |

So we've done another few rounds of negotiating, not getting anywhere. One dealer quoted us at 21,000 + $600 dealer fee = 21,6 and refused to go any lower. The car in question, with GM supp pricing, invoices 23753, retails 23783, with a $200 bonus from GM to the dealer. 2750 in rebates. If you take the 21,6 they want + 200 credit union incentive, they'll get 21,8 for the car, or 24,450 without rebates, which is HIGHER THAN THE STICKER PRICE OF 23,783!?!?! WTF? I offered 21,000 for the car, no dealer fee. Thats a $150 profit and they get to put a number on the board. They refused to move on their price, then got nasty with us. Don't know what they're thinking.

Replying to: greatlakesjr (Apr 15, 2009 3:40 am) Many foreign makes have their production in order to work off any excess. Domestics are on the taxpayers dime- money transferred never to be seen again --. so no hurries to dump stock to raise cash. Malibu is one of the few models with sales up a few % from last years #'s Good luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (Apr 15, 2009 8:05 am) Those are good points to ponder. Maybe they AREN'T that desperate at this time. Oh well, I'm not in a hurry to buy anything so I'll just plod along with our 10 year-old vehicles. No harm at this point. |

Finally worked something out with a dealership. Bought the car for 21,000 after a 2750 rebate for a total of 23,750. MSRP 24,680, Invoice 23,817. No dealer fee. No extras. Mom is happy with her new Malibu.

Replying to: sierra95831 (Apr 16, 2009 7:10 pm) You want at least a 15000 deal on a 22000msrp 09 malibu. Probably 13000 or so on a G6. Especially with Gm's situation. If you can't make it happen email 10 or more mazda dealers last week of the month (mazdausa.com website) for bids on a new 09 M6. Better car. Good luck --jjf will you give us specific dealer names where the $7k + discounts are available? I don't see anything like that here in Sacramento. Thanks. |
