Oh...and I live in Boise, Idaho. There's only 3 dealers within about 100 miles, but the one in Boise claims to give the best deals (but don't they all).

Titan SE 4x4 Crew Cab
Big Tow
Off-Road
SE Popular with split bench
MSRP is over 34K
Non-sliding bed extender....but no bed utility pkg..
 
I offered 31K over the phone. Sales guy said no. I told him ok and said I'd come in at the end of the week to talk about it. He said he could get there with the $2000 rebate. I said I was thinking 31K before the rebate. He said to come in at the end of the week and talk. We hung up.
 
10 minutes later he called me back and said they'd take 31K. So with rebate, I got my Titan for 29K.

I've been carpet-bombing dealers in the Wash/Balto area with requests for quotes and I'm consistently getting invoice minus incentive as a price, with one or two going below that (but not by much). This is getting me about $5500 to $6000 below MSRP. But then there's Carmax, whose web site readily quotes upwards of $6300 off MSRP. Trouble with them is that I can't seem to find *the right* truck in their inventory. I'm going to see if they'll do a DX and still give me a good price.
 
Anyone getting below MSPR minus invoice? I thought I read somewhere where there is a mfg to dealer thing going on, but I can't find anything about it.
 
And with interest rates on the uptick, it's even more imperative to hold out for that great deal!

even if there are manufacturer to dealer incentives, what does that have to do with you? its not manufacturer to consumer, its to dealer. its up to him if he wants to even consider sharing that with you, and i personally dont think its fair of you to try and get that included in your deal. besides, if there even IS one, its probably only $250 per unit they sell, ONLY if they hit their target...
 
also, if interest rates are on their way up, why wait longer? then your interest rate will only be higher, as you get the same deal as you would have now... (dealers still own the truck for the same price you know...its not gonna change by $2000 just because the interest rates went up)
 
anyways, my 2 cents...

Bad News on Titan by menmyjp

Well, I've got some bad news I wanted to share with some of those who have been so helpful (Thene,Waterfowler) and maybe get some feedback. I thought I had the deal sealed. But when I got to the dealership they acted like they had never seen the $24,500 quote that I was told since day one. He said the best he could do was $25,100... and when I asked him he told me the $600 difference came from me not getting a "trade credit". GRRR, first of all...We had negotiated $24,500 since day 1 with no trade second of all...all they were giving me was $2,500 for trade in the first place. In LA tax on that would only be $200 anyway. The salesman said, "so when are you coming to get it,I'll pull it and wax it now" and I said no deal. His rebutle was...Ca'mon its only like $6-7 bucks more a month. Does this deal sound familiar Waterfowler??? So, whats my next course of action. Thanks

What it has to do with me is that it is in my interest to know this information, especially when I live in a highly competitive area such as this. Why? Because it is the dealer who makes the decision to delve into it vis a vis the offers they make. Consumers never know for sure, but we can certainly compare offers and make some educated guesses. It's not even hard to do. I had a dealer quote me price that was essentially invoice minus rebate, that's it. When I countered, he got all indignant in an email and basically said he's not making one thin dime on the deal. Now, at the same time, I have offers that are a good $400 better (and some more than that!) than his offer. You tell me how that happens...
 
I'm just trying to find out what's going on, that's all. Again, that's because this is a super competitive market.

that stinks
 
its been a while since i read this thread - was your truck a rare one? if not, walk. tell them you'll buy elsewhere, and you'll send people elsewhere. when you are given a price repeatedly, it should be honored. speak to the general sales manager, show him your checkbook or credit card, and tell him the deal is $24,500, today, if not, he wont see you again. if it doesnt work, walk. your apparently dealing with a dealer who's less than respectable anyways...
 
good luck!

Thats kind of what I figured, thanks Thene. Let me pick your brain on this deal that I just got. I'll try and not post anything illegal-
 
I just talked with a dealer in Fayetteville AR. He said take any Titan you want on the lot home for MSRP -$6,500 + $199. doc fee and $199 pinstripe. Basically any titan at $6,102 off. I asked him about why the mass amount of deals they were willing to make at under hold back?? He said, they have a new dealership coming in up the road and they are kicking off a program to move alot of vehicles in a very short period of time in order to project huge numbers for the dealership. Does this sound fishy or is it realistic?

if that is a real number (and they will put it in writing for you) that sounds fair to me, based on what i am seeing titans go for. i'd say "eh" on the pinstriping, maybe you can convince them you dont like the pinstriping, but everything else is ok for you. do they have what you were looking for? i'd give it a shot and see where they fall on your price scale...if they start to get wishy-washy, just walk.
 
good luck!

Hi Thene, I have been watching this website for 6 months now and will try to buy a Titan in the next week (finally) - I just wanted to thank you for your continued efforts, no matter what price I get it will be way lower thanks to your honest advice over the last few months - if I was on your side of the country I would buy from you just to say thanks - but I'm in LA,
Anyway thanks again - you da woman
Hank
