Yes, I negotiated the price in advance. This was after two visits and three test drives (an i sedan with manual, an s hatchback with auto and an s sedan with manual). So he knew I was serious, and gave me a reasonable price. And there was no fee for ordering the car - that was his idea apparently when he couldn't find one the way I wanted it at an area dealer.
I still think the problem is, I don't want the moonroof package. Seems impossible to get a hatchback without one (and a manual).
I was promised a call today. At this point, I may bite the bullet and get an automatic.
Oh, and you've probably seen that there is a Velocity Red hatchback at a dealer on Staten Island. I'm guessing it doesn't have the options you want.
Happy hunting.

Hey, allfiredup. Hope you're still reading this thread. You received a tremendous deal on your M3--$783 under invoice is amazing. I'm curious about your true OTD price--your TOTAL payment. OTD $16,500 would have put you much further below invoice than $783. You used a coupon/voucher also, right? Did you finance and/or trade-in? I think you've received the best deal among buyers on this thread so far. Thank you--all of you--for sharing your info. We all want good deals on our cars, and it takes a certain amount of courage to put your paid prices up--no one wants buyer's remorse and second guessing.

Destination fee by sarahp333

I checked out the Mazda 3s at a dealer out in Eastern Long Island. The price i was given was close to what the TMV suggested, However the destination fee was way over: 869 vs. the 560 TMV destination charge. How could that be, and how can I argue with that? I'm still waiting to receive an offer from another dealership.

Help. Still trying to find a manual GT w/o extras. Every car in area (Indiana) has expensive moonroof option. How are you finding below invoice prices and where do you get coupons? Is anyone finding a GT manual w/o options?

I have looked at ALMOST new cars before - but have not purchased one. I always wondered why did the owner trade (return) the car so quickly?
 
Could be valid reasons - like they lost their job - but I also worry about all the reasons that are bad.
 
Like major mechanical issues - or a wreck -
 
In my experience the difference in purchase price was never that large - so I just got the new one.
 
On one car - a Toyota - when I opened the glove box I found a warranty form that was filled out with the owners name & address - so I looked up the phone number and gave them a call. The guy was surprised to get a call - but said he returned it (after a fight with the dealership). The car had less than 500 miles and had to have its tranny replaced. The sales person told me the car was a executive demo -

What are my options?? by dairyshick
Feb 01, 2006 (3:39 pm)

I had a message on my phone yesterday from the finance dept at the dealership. All they said was that I had to stop by to sign some papers as soon as I had a chance. I tried calling back to see what it was because I haven't been able to stop by yet, but the finance guy I dealt with wasn't there, so I still don't know what the papers are.
What exactly could this be for? I bought the car back in late december with a rate of ~6.7%...All I can think of is a change in the finance rate or signing the title?? If this is a change in the finance rate (i'm sure it would be for the worse!), what happens if it's a totally crappy rate and I don't sign? Can I just give the car back and walk away? I traded in a car as well, so how would that work. Is the finance rate still negotiable?...Any ideas or comments?
