#327 of 598 Re: Quote Over the Phone? [srvlonghorn] by ocautoseeker Jun 22, 2008 (10:53 pm)
Replying to: srvlonghorn (Jun 20, 2008 7:13 pm) I agree - it's kind of annoying isn't it? Let me see if I can explain why this happens... Some dealers take the attitude that their product is of superior quality and think that you are only serious if they have you in the showroom. In many cases this may be true, but I say... what do they have to lose by at least trying to be competitive? If they don't at least give you a price to think about, they can't even get in the game. This is an ancient way of trying to sell and dealer's that won't discuss via phone, net or fax are usually avoided on my end.   In this day and age, I find that dealers that are unwilling to talk pricing over the phone or Internet lose a lot of business - but hey, it's ceratinly their right to conduct biz the way they want, right? These traditional type dealerships hate the dealerships that do quote because they feel like they undercut the competition and devalue the brand.   Some don't like to give quotes because they know that people will shop them against other dealers, which is what savy customers should do. This is why when a dealer does actually give out a quote via the net, he may post a side note that says something like... if you find a better deal, at least give him a chance to beat it.   Hope something works out for you.

Replying to: srvlonghorn (Jun 20, 2008 7:13 pm) Dealers are in the business of selling cars, not talking about cars. Most dealers figure that there's very little chance that they can sell you a car over the phone while they have a fairly decent chance of selling you a car if you're physically in the dealership. Although I have bought at least ten cars over the internet or phone, I've only bought two without going in to the dealer to close the deal. They know that no matter how close they can get you to buying the car over the phone, they almost always have to get you into the dealership to finalize the deal--so why not get you in first?

Replying to: theodore (Jul 05, 2008 11:13 pm) theodore -   Looking at leasing a car very similiar in CA. Was wondering how much of the drive-off cost was considered docs & fees vs. cap reduction?   Thanks and congrats! Replies to this message: theodore (Jul 10, 2008 5:52 am)

Replying to: userla (Jul 09, 2008 1:38 pm) I think the cap reduction was approx $1000 and the remaining $724 was tax, title and first month. I didn't pay any security deposit.

I'm looking to lease an '08 C350 and my dealer has done $100 over invoice, but they've added an "acquisition fee" of $795 on top of the $875 destination fee that's built into the invoice. Is this bogus?   I feel like an '08 could still be had under invoice, no? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 16, 2008 12:52 pm)

Replying to: userla (Jul 16, 2008 12:25 pm) Almost every bank lease includes an acquisition fee paid by the customer... This fee goes to the bank.. Banks do allow dealers to mark-up this fee for extra profit, however.. $795 is MB Financial's base fee..   regards, kyfdx
