Replying to: davidz (Jun 21, 2005 5:10 am) When I bought my car, I e-mailed the dealer with my offer, and the next day they called me, bargained a little, accepted my offer, and I had a new car sitting in my garage within 12 hours. |

atoews: Noticed your post of 6/14 where you have researched percentage discounts from MSRP. Did your research also include doc fees? It changes those percentages when dealers try to add $500 or more doc fees as our local dealer has tried to do.

Replying to: serenoa1 (Jul 01, 2005 3:39 pm) In answer to your question, posters' deals should NOT include govt charges like tax and license, but SHOULD include all other charges, particularly dealer charges. That helps to keep the dealers from nickel and diming you to make their deals sound better. When I poll Edmund's posters for their deals, I try and make certain that the quotes the posters provide are all consistent, but of course I have no way of enforcing it. That is why it helps to have lots of quotes. In summary, once again, if a dealer gives you quote, and then adds a doc fee to that, you need to add that doc fee to get your %MSRP. Example: MSRP is $35,000. Dealer says he'll let you have the car for $32000. Then he adds a doc fee of $500, which makes your car cost $32500 before license, tax registration, etc. You calculate the %MSRP using the $32500 number. If you do it this way, you should be consistent with other Edmunds posters. |
