Replying to: angy168 (Jun 20, 2006 10:17 am) I don't know about the swapping issue, but i assume they will want a few hundred more in that case, as it is more work. dave |

When I quote the invoice price to dealers, one dealer adds Advertising fee (400) and Prep/Handling fee (130) on top of the invoice price. So this 400+130=530 becomes pure dealer profit, I guess? Can this amount subject to negotiation? The dealer also quotes $350 for swap fee to get the color I want, is this $350 fair?

It does cost something for the dealer to advertise and prep the car, and to do a swap. So while there is profit there, i doubt it's pure profit. Also, don't forget that there is holdback: http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incentives/holdback/index.html The dealer does have to make a little money-that have to maintain the dealership, finance the cars, and buy food.  All i can say is it's hard to know when to buy a car and for how much. If you love the car and don't want to wait forever, you may have to leave a few bucks on the table.

| GM now has a deal for 72 hours in some states and some counties for 0% for 72 months. That is a great deal. I am also guessing that i can subtract the 2k off the invoice price of the car too. If they dont have the car in the lot I wonder if they order it if I will still get the 0% for 72 months? I am guessing yes if I sign a contract within the 72 hours of this deal. Am I right? | |
