#86 of 114 Thanks Edmunds by jim1462 Jul 20, 2008 (12:25 pm)
Thank you for reformating your "research and spec" back to the old format. Now I can get the info for the model I interested,i.e. deluxe vs base.

I checked few cars True Market Value from begining of 1990 and it was like 800$ max with best configuration and condition, in www.autotrader.com this cars were priced 800-2000$, why there's such difference?
#88 of 114 When are 2009 prices adjusted? by galvanni Dec 31, 2008 (12:21 pm)
I was hoping to hold out until the new year to purchase a used vehicle since technically, they'll be a year older and the price should be less. Does anyone know when the prices get adjusted at Edmunds to reflect the new year? Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 31, 2008 3:31 pm)

Replying to: galvanni (Dec 31, 2008 12:21 pm) In the real world, used car prices generally are adjusted in the fall. Since this is the traditional start of the new model year.   The will be a book drop in January, but that is normal.

Replying to: pa_fisherman (Jul 23, 2006 4:36 am) I agree. I just purchased an 09 vehicle. Edmunds msrp $19680, inv $18300, TMV $19200. I used these numbers in negotiations. I was in no hurry to buy so I just kept pushing. Didn't have to push very hard to get dealer to $18,100. That was total price + tax & tags. Also gave me the $500 cash Back. Walked out with vehicle for $17,600. Still wonder what's up? Purchased vehicle for $200 UNDER invoice and $1100 under TMV. Something's not right.
#91 of 114 Does TMV include tax and other fees by an_h Mar 13, 2009 (8:20 pm)
Since its an average price paid, does it include tax and other fees paid ?
#92 of 114 Is TMV to high? by bowler802 Mar 16, 2009 (4:21 pm)
We were test driving a RAV4 08 22,000 miles. The salesman knew we were not buying today but had to write down a price on is card.   Window said $19400 Toyota certified. He wrote down $18300 $19500 out the door. TMV with the same trim $20100 for certified.   If I was serious and actually went in to buy I would like to think it would be even lower. Does the TMV include tax and fees if not why is it so high? I noticed this on another model as well?

Replying to: bowler802 (Mar 16, 2009 4:21 pm) Jan/08 Same thing happened to me. Was looking at an 08 mazda 3, TMV w/ exact options was $19200. 1st offer I got was $18,300? This really messed up my negotiation. Ended up paying $17,700. Checked back over the next few weeks/months and found out could have done even better. TMV (edmunds), Smart target price (cars.com) and Suggested retail (KBB) were all way off. In times like these I would start negotiating at least 30% below asking price. You can't go lower after 1st offer, so start LOW. You can always come up. If they let you walk and dont call you back in a week, you're prob. a little low. NOTHING IS SELLING, even Toyota, honda, nissan are HURTING. Its a great time to BUY! good luck Replies to this message: isellhondas (Mar 18, 2009 2:46 pm) tmorr42 (Mar 18, 2009 4:37 pm)

Replying to: bowler802 (Mar 16, 2009 4:21 pm) " If I was serious"   Ah,,,if you weren't serious why would any of this matter ?   Of course, TMV values don't include tax and other fees.   What exactly did you expect the price to be on a car you weren't even serious about??   Just curious...

Replying to: tmorr42 (Mar 16, 2009 6:09 pm) " I would start negotiating at least 30% beloe asking price"   Really? How much do you think cars are marked up?   An offer like that would mean you aren't a serious buyer.   " NOTHING IS SELLING"   Not true but things are definatly on the quiet side and until things perk back up(and they will) I agree, it is a great time to buy!
