You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
Found a 2008 Tahoe LT3 (20 mi outside of Phila PA) with MSRP of $46,645. Requested from local dealer an internet quote and he comes back with $39,995 plus 6% tax, title, etc. Terms of financing were not discussed. Included in the quote were incentives, I believe, of $3,750 in total.I believe there is lots more room to go lower. Your thoughts? What should be my final offer?????? Thanks

They are going to offer you a price that they can mark up to make that profit. The fact that three different dealers all offered the same amount should tell you something......$31K is the going wholesale price in that market for that vehicle with that mileage.

Replying to: senorbeisbol (Nov 08, 2007 2:36 pm) ____________________________________________________________________ And just what is your version of an "honest" profit? The car business is and always has been a big game....the buyer wants to buy low and the seller wants to sell high. If you don't like the $31K offer on your used vehicle then go ahead and sell it yourself if you think you can do better. There is no law that says you have to trade it in to the dealer. Every add I have ever seen from any car company advertising 0% financing always says something about qualifications to get that rate. If you have poor credit forget the 0%. So how is that a rip-off? If you do have excellent credit and qualifications and you can't get the 0% rate then take it up with your state's Attorney General's office. Remember, that 0% rate is not being offered by the dealer, it is being offered by GMAC. I am not in the car business. I could care less what kind of a bad deal you think you are getting. If you don't like what the dealer offers, walk out the door. So "pal", that's my "sermon" for tonight. |

Let me say this about dealers making a profit. I had several dealers tell me that they need to tack on a few hundred bucks above invoice so they could make a profit. Through a friend that works for GM corporate I found out that every last dealer that told me that was lying through their teeth. They were getting $3,200 from GM but were telling me they make ZERO if they sell at invoice. Dealers rely on consumers who are ignorant on how the process works. They know that most people walking through the doors think the MSRP is the real price of the car, while others think invoice price means anything less then invoice cuases the dealer to lose money so obviously they must sell above invoice right? The bottom line is that with 99.9% of dealers out there, you have to go in already knowing what a fair offer for the vehicle you want is. The dealer sure as heck won't help u get the best deal. After all, why tell consumers about Holdback and other GM dealer incentives when they can just lie to you and double or triple their profits.
