We couldn't get them down to $35k, but we're happy with the deal. They ended up adding second row bucket seats (a $490 dollar option), some pinstriping, 2 additional headphones, and $1000 dollars. So we ended up with a vehicle with a MSRP of $50,910 for $38,500. A great vehicle for what seems like a very reasonable price. Thanks for your help and good luck on your purchase.

Good for you Randy. It sounds like you got a great deal. We're heading out on summer vacation in a few weeks and driving out to SC. So I figured I'd put a couple of thousand more miles and hope the great deals hold out through the summer.
 
Enjoy the Suburban, they're great vehicles.

A good deal? by rstamp

I am looking at a '05 Suburban with 8000 miles. It's the LT package, loaded with everything (2nd row bucket seats, rear entertainment, nav. system, sunroof, etc.) The sales rep. says it lists (MSRP) new for $53000; he's priced it at $38000 with all the current incentives and "family price plan". Any thoughts on whether this is a good deal? I currently have a '03 Odyssey (which has been great) but could use some extra room and towing capacity. I haven't really looked at the Suburbans much so am trying to feel my way around here. I read that the '07s will be revamped so could that be a bargaining chip? Thanks for any input.

You may want to check on Edmunds to see what the true mkt value is for the vehicle.
 
I'm probably stating the obvious, but Hondas are traditionally trouble-free. Suburbans are not. I have owned/leased 3 of them as I have 6 kids and need the space. I really enjoy the truck (roomy and comfortable ride), but I believe that the vehicle will require a lot of maintenance after the 36k warranty expires. My first one needed 2 transmission rebuilds within 20k mile both after the warranty period expired. The 2nd one, no problems but I got rid of it after 24k miles and leased the 3rd one. I plan on getting rid of this one when the lease expires and lease another one. I just wanted to let you know what you are getting into.

Mine: Bought new in July 2003
MSRP = $47,592 (does not include $815 Destination Charge)
Discount = $9,561 (20%)
Price = $38,031 (does not include $815 Destination Charge)
 
Based on what I paid back in 2003 and what I've read about prices in this forum, a 20-21% discount is a reasonable expectation.
 
And, remember to compare apples to apples. To determine your best deal, use MSRP discounted by a percentage. Do not include in MSRP items such as destination charge (differs based on where you take delivery), price you're offered for your trade-in (too variable), dealer add-ons (lots of mark-up here)and tax, title, license, processing fees,etc, etc. Instead...
1) Apply a percentage off the MSRP (excluding the above items)
2) Now, add in the other charges above to calculate your "out the door" cost.
 
And, never, never negotitate using monthly payments!!!
Instead...
a) Calculate your "out the door" price
b) Determine your trade-in value
c) Subtract b from a
then
1) Negotitate an APR for your note(after you've checked other finanacial institutions for their rates--dealers know what they are, so don't make one up).
2) Determine the length of time your want to repay the note and what day of the month you want to pay--this will ultimately determine your monthly payment.

In Ohio, I'm looking at a new 2005 Suburban Z71 leftover on a dealer lot. I want to trade in my 2000 Suburban LT that I bought new.
Is it possible to get the $8000 rebates AND the 0% Apr?
Just curious if that is a bargaining chip I can present as a counter offer on this vehicle.
Thanks

I just got a 2006 z71 4x4 suburban with everything you listed plus NAV radio for $45,000 plus tax, tags, warranty, etc., less trade. (oh, not the $5000 rebate, but the 0.0% for 72 months) I had CarsDirect.com locate me a car with what I wanted and give me a price, then I called a local dealer and he matched/beat it by $200. I bought my last car with CarsDirect.com and loved them, but this time I liked the local sales kid better than the online guy. Oh well. Got to brace myself for the $684 payment, yikes!
