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. |

Replying to: morey000 (Oct 11, 2006 6:15 pm) One question... what the heck is a tire disposal fee on a new car?

Replying to: jeffmc (Oct 12, 2006 9:08 am) It helps the states pay to clean up all of those tire dumps.... You know, where the farmer hoarded them for twenty years because he was going to make a mint selling them to be turned into petroleum products? Instead... he dies, or goes bankrupt, and leaves a rodent and mosquito infestation mess that costs hundreds of thousands to clean up..

Replying to: jeffmc (Oct 12, 2006 9:08 am) In any case- I fell in love with the Titanium Silver- which is the color I really wanted in the first place, but was worried about the darker leather interior and the mediocre air conditioner wouldn't be able to keep up against the Tucson summer sun. Then I realized that I'm seldom even around Tucson in the summer (I travel for work), so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it is, I'll post next summer and whine to ya'll. Especially to Karen in Phoenix who posted a long time ago that the AC was fine. Between the paperwork, money transfer and shipping, it will be another week or so before I get to take delivery. Can't wait! Short of buying a house, buying a new car is a pretty exciting purchase. One that I don't do too often. I'm also just amazed at how there was no need to negotiate the price. And by buying from a distance- no need to run the gauntlet at the dealership on extended warranties and overpriced paint protection. There is some FedEx'ing required tho'. |
