Replying to: volvomax (Mar 19, 2009 7:51 am) I want to buy Microsoft stock and some "guide" that was printed a month ago tells me I should pay 25.00 a share. The guide MUST be right, right? Ah, but the stock is now 33.00 a share and I'm frustrated becasue I have to pay more. And if the stock went down to 20.00 a share then the "guide" misled me. This is reality folks, it is a fast changing moving target of a market. I guess everyone is just scared to death that they just might pay a few dollars more than someone else did! |

Does the TMV include all Incentives and rebates for buyers and dealerships?

On their Monroney sticker a Connecticut dealership is displaying MSRP's about $200 greater than what is posted on edmunds.com for the CT zip code. When I asked why that was, the sales person said it was because of the Connecticut PZEV costs. Is this a normal practice? If so, why does edmunds not include these costs in their MSRP? Thanks.

Replying to: ejm99 (Apr 25, 2009 5:06 pm) You didn't state which vehicle you were researching, so I picked one... Subaru Forester. If you go to the "Price w/options" page, you'll find an option for emissions equipment for $200. Next to that option is a link that explains the option, and in what states it is required. Subaru Forester Price w/Options regards, kyfdx visiting host |

| I am looking at a 2007 Miata on the dealers lot. It has 137 miles and the warranty will be in full force once it is sold. How do I figure out the TMV of the car since it is new but also old? | |
My girlfriend and I went thru and priced out the jeep wrangler unlimited and submitted it thru edmunds to the 3 jeep dealers in our area - The Jeep dealer in Greenwich CT came back with well I dont know where Edmunds gets it's invoice pricing as these numbers are off and they are low - of course she wouldnt show us her invoice numbers - I was curious if anyone else has run into this problem before - also I get well thats TMV and that doesnt represent our area, and I say to them well it does as my zip code on edmunds that I put in represents our area and on and on; it would seem to me that we use edmunds for education and the dealers that sign up for edmunds would play fair, but I think they use it as bait and switch.

Replying to: dc325ix (Jun 13, 2009 11:16 am)  weeks later found them selling for high 16's. Edmunds was still at original figures. Learned lesson, From now on just pit 3-4 dealers against each other and wait for best price. Will usually take 2-4 weeks. Also watch out for your trade........they will try to steal your car. Good luck |

Beware! If you visit the www.edmunds.com site, your contact information is being collected and sold to others! I have long been an enthusiastic fan of the Edmunds.com website. You cannot imagine my shock, anger, and outrage at what I learned about the website today. We are starting the process of buying a new car. My first stop, as usual, was to the Edmunds website, during which I read various reviews of the models we are considering. I then went to the “pricing” sections to see what these different models cost. Today we visited several dealers in our area (Honda and Toyota) to look at the cars. Upon giving my name to the “greeters” at these dealerships, I was shocked to learn that they already knew all about me! Apparently, Conicelli Toyota and Conicelli Honda (both of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania) had my name and e-mail address, and knew that I had visited the edmunds website looking into the Honda Civic, Accord, and Toyota Matrix. They had this information less than 24 hours after I visited the Edmunds.com site, and had even “pre-assigned” sales people to me! I am absolutely outraged at this blatant violation of privacy. While it is common knowledge that web providers use a variety of spyware to surreptitiously and unethically gather information on visitors to their sites and then sell these data to others, this level of intrusion is disgraceful and offensive beyond belief. I could understand if I had specifically requested quotes from dealers that they would have my contact information. However, simply viewing information on the Edmunds site does not give permission for my name and contact information to be sold. Beware! If you visit this site, your contact information is being collected and sold to others! This violation of privacy should be widely publicized and made known to all those who innocently use the site. Edmunds should be ashamed of themselves.
