| Today we were offered $7,000 off sticker price for AWL RL. I currently have 2005 RL coming off of a lease of $600/mo with $0 down for 36 months. I shopped it very hard in 2005 to get the best lease rate - emailed dealerships all over the state of Texas. I may extend my lease another 12 months since I have such a good lease. But I do want a new car...so, I'll start shopping. | |

Received offer for 42, 298 with Tech. I know the semi-redesign is coming but not bad for a 52k car.

Replying to: scott6113 (Apr 23, 2008 6:49 am) You are correct regarding the prices and at least as far as I know, their base price. I live in SF Bay Area. I sent emails to about ten dealers around the bay and got prices about $ 42500. I was then contacted by a dealer that was originally too high, and asked how I liked the previous week's test drive. When I told the sales manager that they "were not in the ball park", he said he could sell me the RL for the same price quoted to me from another dealer. Point: I purchased it for $ 42500, but he threw in the "sticker add ons" listed at $ 900, but in reality they were worth about $ 500. Ergo, I paid net $ 42000 plus tax. (I did not want to "win" by getting to the lowest price, I just was not going to pay their $ 50000 price they wanted me to pay. So I got the price I wanted. ) Good luck, I think emails are the way to go. If you live in SF area, consider Pleasanton, Concord, and Los Gatos dealers as they gave me prices to start at. Good luck to all and stay safe. jensad

Replying to: jensad (Apr 23, 2008 11:27 am) I'll try the email route. There is only one that has blue/taupe with nav in my area though. The inventory hasn't moved in a couple of weeks. I've been watching. I like the style of the 08s better than the new ones. I was going to try at the end of the month. Who knows if the incentive will be renewed? It might even go up. But, selection is bound to go down. Scott

Replying to: scott6113 (Apr 23, 2008 11:41 am) Lincoln MKZ, my head bumps with the seat all the way down. Wife thinks it's for old people. BMW 328xi, cramped BMW 535xi used, 5k miles and the dealer still wanted 48k Mercedes C cramped, plasticy and E 4matic, high Lexus es350, no awd, low door for back seat Cadillac CTS, 47k the way I want it equipped, and I don't trust GM quality Infiniti G35x tight seats, high beltline, feels like you are sitting low, but helluva car. Acura, better car than I thought I could afford. Priced like the G35x, but more in the M class size wise. It doesn't have quite the prestige of the BMW, but I'm of mixed mind about that. I'm not a 'Look at me! I got money!' kinda person, since so many of those types are debt junkies. They have three in blue so I think they've got to move them. I'll let you know how it works out. I'm going tonight. Also, an old friend is the parts manager there. I didn't want to use him to get a better price, he has had a rough career and I'll mention him only after the sale, if I can give him a boost. Nicest guy. Worst luck, but it seems to be changing. Thanks for all the help. Scott

Replying to: scott6113 (Apr 24, 2008 7:29 am) Volvo S80. Seriously. New T6 turbo is great and so is the Yamaha V8. And there is big discouinting going on. More than the RL I think. I'm either going with one of these Volvos or the RL. |

Yes, Volvo was on my list. But I know people who have bought them recently, and looked on consumer opinion websites, and their quality is supposed to have plummeted. I also like Saab, but only the tiny one has AWD. I hope Volvo improves, for your sake, but do the research as I did. Certainly no one has a better durability reputation than Volvo, so I hope they recover. Scott
