I've heard/seen discussion about making a deal almost exclusively over the internet. How can I find a dealer who does that? Bob

Replying to: rfeaster (Sep 03, 2006 4:01 pm) The other way to do it is to go through www.carsdirect.com, which works in a different way. As best I can understand it, CarsDirect makes pre-arranged pricing deals with dealers, and then takes a percentage on top of that. So- my plan (a month from now when I buy my 'beca) is to essentially threaten (in a nice way) my local dealer that I'll go through CarsDirect- or let them give me the CarsDirect price directly- and then they won't need to pay the commission to CarsDirect. We'll see how this works in a month or so.

I'm now ready to buy a 7-pass ltd/Nav. My local dealer (Emich) found me a 'beca at another dealer 100mi away that has nearly met my requirements- except it's the harvest gold- a color that I haven't seen. I was hoping for Seacrest or White. I let him know that forums like this exist, and i was looking for very agressive pricing . Before I could even finish he politely cut me off, immediately agreed that this was the new 'way of the world' in the industry, told me the MSRP, Invoice price, and then took off the $1250 in dealer incentive from the invoice. Then he added $400 markup for his dealership profit. So, his price was = Invoice - $1250 + $400. Frankly, that seems reasonable to me. I could dicker for a portion of his $400, but for me, it just doesn't seem right. So- we're there on price, now all we need to do is find (or wait for) the car of my choice. (or is there a sizable dealer holdback that I don't know about?)

Replying to: jeffmc (Oct 05, 2006 12:23 pm) Exactly at "Invoice minus $1250"- plus a $45 doc fee, $8 for tire disposal and $350 to ship it to me. Final price is $33,483. I never paid attention to what the MSRP was- as we only dealt from the Invoice price. No hassle, no haggle. They knew the rock bottom going rate for the vehicle. I asked for this price, and they didn't hesitate to say 'OK'. Granted, you can do a couple hundred better from Fitzmall, but I'm nowhere near the right coast, and I'm not one to quibble on the last $100 after I feel like I'm getting a solid deal. |
