Replying to: omegagen (May 27, 2009 10:01 am) With a user name like madmanmoo... what'd you expect? With a user name like jipster... I'm bound by trade laws to suggest low balling the dealership, then walking away to let them sweat it out.

Replying to: jipster (May 27, 2009 10:25 am) Okay, I'll try to be helpful. In a situation like that, come up with what you think would be reasonable and make that offer. If you don't feel like doing that, then ask them for their clearance special. Surely they must be motivated to move that vehicle, if it doesn't fit what you think is fair, then walk away. In my professional opinion, I think you should find an '09 and work a deal on that. I don't think any kind of discount would make up for the depreciation that the '08 vehicle is going to take when you drive off the lot. Oh, and if none of this helps, then start panicking. |

I would like to purchase a new Saturn Aura XR with the 3.6 l engine. I wonder if anyone knows whether it is possible to haggle at their dealerships? I have the GM Card and now have $3,000 in credit to apply to the purchase and want to know how likely it is that I can bargain the price down from the MSRP. Any information anyone has about his would be appreciated.

Replying to: waathaq (May 30, 2009 12:01 pm) The price of the car is only one piece of the pie. If you have a trade-in, try to haggle more money for your trade. Try to get the dealership to waive their doc. fee. Ask for 2 years free oil changes, extra set of floor mats or keys, a trip to Cancun... etc. |
