Plus some folks who really got a good deal may look at your leaderboard and perhaps feel like they got screwed, unless it's your purpose to make folks who paid less than what's on your leaderboard feel bad? Anyway sello, good info on many posts you make to individual buyers, but why not just drop the leader board posts, as they're not very useful for much.

Replying to: humblecoder (Jan 20, 2008 2:07 pm) Thanks for your feedback, your $100 comment was funny. As I stated before, it is not my intent to offend anyone, but the bottom line is: if you know what you are doing (my intent on this board is to inform), one can purchase a car below the invoice price and not pay any extra fees or add-ons. Additionally, getting cheap financing (unless you are credit unworthy) is not difficult to arrange (sometimes the dealer has some great factory deals). I agree the trade is more difficult, but if the perspective buyers use the proper references and conduct the trade negotiations after securing the best price on the car, you can mitigate this problem (although by selling the trade yourself, you can avoid this problem and get more for your trade). This is not rocket science! I agree, not everyone will be able to get the best deal on their new car, but they will be better off financially for trying. This does not need to be a significant emotional event, just a business transaction. I wish everyone the best on their deals! |

20 posts in the last two days, and not one of them has an actual price paid...  If you want to discuss the best way to post prices, then take it to e-mail... Prices Paid and Buying Experience... that's all we want. Thanks!! kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 20, 2008 9:04 pm) Current Update Post your best deal in terms of below invoice price: 07 Freestyle $4900 below invoice. (Any of these left on the market?) 08 T-X $1000 below invoice. (This number is very low, better deals are being made with the CX-9 and VC) With all the rebates, at a minimum current deals on 08s should be at least equal to the rebate below the invoice price or better. (ie... $1500 rebate = $1500 below invoice) with not extra fees or add-ons. As part of your car deal question all extra fees the are not paid to the local and state Govt at TT&L and avoid add-ons! Keep your trade (if you have one) and financing separate from the cost of the car. There are a lot of people on this site that are willing to assist you. Good Luck.

Replying to: danallan (Jan 22, 2008 1:29 pm) I would shop a $100 (or more) below invoice deal (minus the rebate) with no fees to a few other dealers. You have nothing to lose, remember time is on your side. Do not let the dealership dictate your purchasing time line. Good Luck! |
