The same discount's do not always apply to the same model with added options. We offer the Mazda3 i at $13,990. with is little over $300 below invoice on the base, 5-speed model. You cannot get the same discount on a Mazda3 i Touring at my dealership. Since MX-5's in the north east are becoming scarce, we are holding decent gross. I am in CT, and I sold a MX-5 to a guy in Albany, NY because no dealer had the MX-5 he wanted. I made full list

I have purchased over 20 new cars so far in my lifetime - getting a good deal includes good timing, working multiple dealers at the same time, and good negotiating skills. I bought a 2003 BMW 530i brand new for $4K under invoice.

Replying to: manybmws (May 10, 2006 4:35 pm) I see that from your name you have purchased quite a few BMW's. I don't know if you know how the biz works, but, a 2003 BMW 530i sold for $4,000 UNDER invoice was probably still a winner for the dealer. I'm sure BMW's have quite a large holdback system, plus any incentives that were on the car, considering the 530i is not their #1 seller. However, you did receive a fantastic deal, which I guess was the point of your post. Congrads on the Beamer!

I'm looking at a 1999 MX-5 with 17,000 miles on it, the dealership is asking 11,900 and edmunds tmv says right at 9,000. It needs new tires, but otherwise it's in good shape. KBB.com says 10,500. Is edmunds off, how much should I be expecting them to come down to? And how do I get them to come down. And how do I get them to lower the price of the car and not increase the trade in value of my current car? Thanks for you help.

Replying to: mazdaman3 (May 13, 2006 7:35 pm) A 1999 MX-5 with 17,000 miles on it is a very rare find. Mileage for that car should be around 70,000-75,000 miles. I do not have my book's with me, for I am home, and not at work, so I may be off. You can offer to the dealer what you are willing to pay. Keep in mind, they do not have to accept your offer. Most dealers will work with you. But, a rare find means you paying out for it. If you really want it, work your butt off to get it. Three weeks ago, I sold a 1999 Chevy Corvette conv. w/suspension package with 11,000 miles on it. KBB was around $27,700 I think. We were advertising it for $29,990. I sold it for $28,500. But, we had to pay through the nose to get it on trade. That is just another example of the type of situation you are in. Good luck, I hope you get the MX-5 |
