Replying to: steve_spiegel (Sep 06, 2007 10:26 am) I'm out of Southern NH, and have just started the pricing game. As expected, they all start out with stupid numbers (like invoice + $3k for an 08: "Hit 'em high" they say). Do you have a dealer you'd recommend in the area (MA/NH)? THX VinnyB

Replying to: vinnybonzo (Sep 16, 2007 4:33 pm) I used several of the pricing options on the various web sites, like Edmunds, myride.com, etc. If you use a zip code near the dealer location, these sites will send your info to the web person at the dealership. I made my entire deal with 3 e-mails and one phone call. I walked into the dealership with the price and options decided, all I had to do was select a color. I would caution you that most dealers won't be as flexible with 2008s as they were with 2007 models. Mt guess is you could still find a 2007 470 with a stocker of $55.5K and a sales price around $48K. A 2008 model will sticker for $1400 less so let's say $54K but you will struggle to get much less than a $52K price. For the same vehicle with really minor changes, do you want to pay $4K more? Good Luck Steve

thanks Alex for the suggestion in Northern CA. I might consider that option. Just came back from scouring Southern CA for perfectly priced vehicle. Having some luck but not as good as yours. I found versions without sport package but with rear seat w/AC, nav w/levinson and rear entertainment. Any thoughts if you have an option of sport or rear entertainment?

Invoice plus $3k gets you to about $50.4k. As you say, the equivalent 07 stickers at about $55.5k, with a fair deal at $48k, so we are looking at just over $2k delta for the same car, one model year newer, which seems about right to me. I think I'll save the $2k now instead of trying to get it back in trade-in value later.

Replying to: vinnybonzo (Sep 18, 2007 3:05 pm) I agree with your numbers provided you can get someone to go as low as 50.4. I haven't shopped but you may not be able to get $4K off list for a few months. Best of luck Steve

Replying to: steve_spiegel (Sep 18, 2007 4:15 pm) I've got the $50.4k quote in hand already for an 08...haven't even started to negotiate that number yet. It's the 07 for $48k that I can't seem to get anyone to agree to yet...my best quote is still at $50k! Still work to do... THX for your help, VinnyB

Replying to: vinnybonzo (Sep 18, 2007 7:53 pm) 2 weeks ago, a good deal was a loaded 07 ($55k) at or about invoice ($48k). Now you can get the equivalent loaded 08 ($54k, since msrp has dropped by almost $1k due to the 3rd row pricing) at or about $1k over invoice (which is still $48k since the invoice dropped $700). For us: Same price...newer car, not a bad deal...and the dealer is actually enjoying some margin right now...so it's win/win. Wait it out a couple months and they'll probably be be back to invoice. |
