Replying to: tcb30 (Aug 24, 2007 2:04 am) Consider it a used car... Price it out that way.. then, add a premium for whatever you think the full new car warranty is worth..   That number will probably be less than they are willing to sell it for.. which is why it is still on the lot.   regards, kyfdx

#33 of 45 Leftover Lucerne for Dad by sheepdog1 Nov 14, 2007 (3:48 pm)
My dad wants my help looking at 07 Lucernes over the Thanksgiving holiday. Recently a local dealer was offering 07s 6k below invoice. Is that the best deal currently? Replies to this message: wvsarob (Dec 08, 2007 8:42 pm)

Replying to: sheepdog1 (Nov 14, 2007 3:48 pm) Where are they offering $6K below invoice? I am considering one and the only incentive I see is $2k incentive off best negotiated deal -- in PA.
#35 of 45 What's a reasonable MSRP discount? by waltchan Dec 19, 2007 (6:16 pm)
Looking forward to get a new 2009 Buick Lucerne CXL somewhere next year. The options I want are:   Custom Perforated Leather Chrome Appearance Package Driver Confidence Package Luxury Package Side Blind Alert Navigation Harmon/Kardon Speakers Steering Wheel Sunroof   What's the best, most reasonable offer I can get with the dealer with a MSRP sticker of $37,000. I am thinking on trying $8,000 off MSRP. Will that work? If not, how much MSRP off when you purchased your new Lucerne? Buicks aren't hot seller anyway, and I'm sure some dealers offer big discounts. Thank you for any advise given.

Replying to: waltchan (Dec 19, 2007 6:16 pm) I just finished negotiaring on a 2008 pretty loaded CXS. I paid about $150 below dealer invoice. I got my dealer cost info from tmv and another source, gm dealers have a 3% holdback on the invoice from GM for their overhead and lights, some vehicles and dealer have to pay a 2% group advertising fee. I don't think they have 8000 in a new vehicle. I got documentation from another source on dealer invoice, units sold per month and best deals from that source.   Somewhere on this site there is a link for Capital one auto buying, In northern California their deal is $100 over invoice if the car is on the dealer in the programs lot. In southern california its $300 over invoice but a so cal dealer was willing to sell me the car at invoice and truck it 350 mile to me and have me sign the paperwork here.   I called the sales manager of my local dealer and aksed him if wanted to sell a car and told him what deals I had at other dealers, I completed the deal in about 20 minutes after a month of research and pricing. Given its the end of the year I may have gotten a better deal but there were only 3 cars in the state configured the way I wanted. I also get 2000 cash back from GM and the dealer got me a better interest rate by 1% and its lower than I was able to get from applying to 5 banks and I have excellent credit.   If you are going to finance I suggest you secure your financing first and then pick your vehicle.   I used fightingchance.com for price and negotiation tips.   Dealer Cost Item Retail 750 destination 750 33973 list 35950 622.5 wheels 750 742.85 heat and cool seats 895 1614.35 nav sys 1945 161.85 grillwer 195 244.85 lane departure 295 327.85 blind side 395 124.5 heated steeerign 150 747 sun roof 900 0 paint 39308.75 42225 819.5 Advertising western region 40128.25 total 42225

Replying to: waltchan (Dec 19, 2007 6:16 pm) That's likely a bit too much off, to consider.   Figure out what invoice is on that car, and consider that your starting point, minus any rebates.   Hence, if it were a 2008 CXL with those options right now, should have an invoice right around $35,500--so that would be about your starting point. From that, and again just using now as an idea, you could subtract $2000 in rebate cash...so around $33,500.   Basically, a few months into a model year, and with the fact that the spread between MSRP and invoice is fairly small on a Lucerne...$8k off just isn't feasible. It is right now on leftover 2007's, with extra rebate cash available, but that's about it.   Just not going to happen, to get that kind of a chunk off, unless it's a leftover 2008 maybe this time next year. Determine invoice price at that time, subtract rebates, and that's your figure.

Replying to: beach15 (Dec 22, 2007 7:44 pm) Looks like I'll wait near the end of the year model. The only problem is, will the Lucerne with the 3800 V6 will still be in production by the end of 2009? Sources tell me that production on the 3800 engine ends at winter 2008, but it's usually a few months after winter 2008 that there will be some 3800 engines left before it will completely be depleted. If I am lucky, and I hope, I may get the early 2010 with the 3800 engine. The later I buy, the better, since more of my earnings will come in.

Replying to: waltchan (Dec 23, 2007 1:48 pm) I've also heard they were phasing out the 3800, which baffles me because as far as I'm concerned it's the best V-6 ever made. Replies to this message: waltchan (Dec 23, 2007 8:23 pm) thegraduate (Mar 25, 2008 8:29 pm)

Replying to: waynenovotny (Dec 23, 2007 2:00 pm) The 3800 is the last Buick-designed engine ever made. When it is phased out, there will never be a Buick that drives and rides like a Buick again. All Buicks now will get either the GM High Feature engine or the Cadillac Northstar engine. Although more powerful and many people are happy with it, to me, putting in one of the two engines in a Buick will not drive and ride like a real Buick as before in the past. Buick will lost its appeal and character once the 3880 engine is out. I will make sure to snatch one of the last 3800 Lucernes, probably in 2009 or 2010, and I will babied it and keep it as a classic for many years to come. I'm only 23 years old, so I'm at the right time.
