Hi Dan..thanks. How do I know I'm seeing actual dealer cost?? Should I be content with the invoice and be sure not to add anything over invoice? Ocean mits in Warwick has a great incentive--no charge for oil changes, brakes and batteries for the length of time I own the vehicle. They can't offer me any cars without those ridiculous addtions (the clear coat, the underbody coat and fabric protector) already added on. I guess I should look elsewhere and forget the great service incentive? Thanks Dan! I appreciate your reply.

First of all, the added extra's are what the dealer wants you to buy ( absurdly high profit margins ) and this is their way of forcing you to do so. This may, at times, work on very high demand vehicles, but this is no where that case and there is NO need to purchase ANY of the add-on's and quote frankly, at any price, they are a waste of money. I would not pay anything close to invoice, especially in today's market. Make it simple, you take control and should the dealer call you, don't return their calls immediately. You mention that you live in RI, so here are a couple of ideas..Call Boch Mitsubishi (Norwood) and ask to speak to the sales manager and tell him/her exactly what you want ( be prepared and unemotional ) and let the sales mgr know you are willing to buy today and you want their most competitive, Best and Final, price. Make certain you are buying new, know what mileage is on the SUV ( could be a demo ), make sure it is the color & config you want and, most importantly, make sure you understand pricing before you go to the dealer to close the deal( ie. does price assume you get rebate or dealer ). Do not get caught up in responding to "what price do I need to beat". I purchased my XLS AWD from Herb Connolly Mitsu in Natick, MA. Whoever you call, do not mention that you have a trade until you get there and, if asked, let them know at this point you only want their most aggressive buy price - without trade. End of month purchases have some influence, but not as much as end of quarter. If you are a serious buyer, then I think you can leverage end of month today and get your best deal. Good luck and keep us posted! By the way, we are truly enjoying our Endeavor. Dan |

Replying to: shooterd (Apr 30, 2004 10:58 am) I am going to start fresh and shoot for the end of May to become an Endeavor owner. Just a couple things I've noticed when I send out emails for bids--no one GIVES any...all the responses I get are to call for assistance and prices. I will NOT mention a trade..if they insist on knowing I'll say I'm not certain of that yet. That ok? Also, do either of you know of a website where I can type in the VIN and actually get the amount a dealer paid for the vehicle..the ACTUAL dealer cost? Thanks so much!! I'm very appreciative. One last thing--what do you think is a FAIR final bid for an XLS 4x4 NOT including incentives and nothing extra added other than the standard features which come with the XLS package? Thank you!! Francesca

Sounds like it's good that you walked. Every once in a while I reread Confessions of a Car Salesman. It's a hoot (unless it's your money on the table I guess). Steve, Host |

bought 04 limited 2x2 at end of January. dealer cost/invoice plus shipping was 30261. got 2k rebate and $500 college grad (wife) rebate so net cost before tax/lic was 27, 761. Only thing I had to haggle and stand firm on was not paying $300 "advertising fee" over invoice. Sales mgr tried to make me feel guilty'- that he had no profit on the car, but a few minutes later I saw him smiling away as he processed the transaction. Overall, very good experience- excellent car, absolutely no problems, doing well on regualr gas (87 octane) and have about 3k miles on it. live in Lake Forest (Orange county), california. noticed advertising on new mitsu's- they have 36,000 mile all maintenance thrown in (brakes, oil changes, etc. like BMW). Actually got letter from dealer asking me to sell car back to them and buy a new one- would get 1k loyalty rebate on top of all others and main. program as well. |

My wife and I are undecided about which SUV is better. We are a family of 3, planning on 4 next year. We like the Kia Sorrento and Mitsubishi Endeavor, but we don't know which one is better? Can anyone tell us their opinion about these 2 vehicles? Thank you! |
