#1722 of 1781 Re: True Dealer Cost [jfritsch] by donsell Aug 14, 2008 (7:27 pm)
Replying to: jfritsch (Aug 14, 2008 5:16 pm) From what I read, there is a lot of information that isn't on the dealer's invoice. That's why a dealer can give you invoice + $1 and still make a killing. I wouldn't mind spending a little if it told me how low the dealer would really be willing to go.
#1723 of 1781 Dealer profit . . . by lilelvis Aug 16, 2008 (12:25 pm)
Another thing we haven't mentioned is the other ways dealers make money even when selling a car at "cost."   Processing fees - Why don't they just call this what it is - profit. These seem to range from $99 to several hundred. They can call it a firetruck for all I care, but it is just profit for them. I also tend to think the "transportation fees" they are adding on nowadays is full of profit as well. I think it is around $675 for a 4runner.   Extended warranties - these are cash cows for the dealers. Figure several hundred dollars for them right there if you take their extended warranty.   Financing - I'm not sure if they make money when using the mfr 0% deals, but when they use their in house financing for your loan they get money for that as well.   Undercoating, VIN etching, floor mats, etc - besides the dubious value of these in the first place, they are profit heavy for the dealer.   And then any servicing you have done at that dealer.   There are several other items too, but you get the point. Even if a dealer sold you a vehicle at their true "cost" they could make a tidy some elsewhere.
#1725 of 1781 My deal - by donsell Aug 31, 2008 (10:18 am)
I pulled the trigger on a new 4Runner SR5 V6 yesterday. MSRP: $32,799, Invoce $29,240 Paid $25,279 before trade. $7,520 under MSRP, $3961 under invoice.   This was in from Omaha. There had been slight hail damage which the dealer repaired and was not evident. I imagine he made some insurance money there.

Replying to: biker123 (Sep 20, 2008 5:50 pm) We bought the brand new SR5 V6 4WD yesterday at Chicago area. SR5 value package 1, real spoiler, tow hitch, day time running lights and mats set. Only 2 miles. Invoice is around $29612. We got the price $25050 + TTL. This is more than $1000 below the invoice after the rebate. Thanks to my wife, she was amazingly good at negotiation of the price. The only extra option we picked is leather seats upgrade for $1395. Replies to this message: carmd (Dec 10, 2008 3:30 pm)
#1729 of 1781 2008 Toyota SR5 V6 4WD by bamafan7727 Sep 22, 2008 (8:20 pm)
I am looking at getting to Toyota this month. Pricing at the first dealership was: 30217 Invoice +600 Mark-up 30817 Total   -2500 Rebate (September) Price 27300 + TTD   The dealer said that there may be some wiggle room and I don't have to buy a car now. I have seen some posts that are down in the 24,500 range. So I have 2 questions. 1. Where do I find the MSRP or calculate the invoice-incentive price? 2. What should I offer?

Replying to: biker123 (Sep 23, 2008 10:18 am) I made an offer today using the guidelines that I saw online in this subject. The first question asked by the sales guy was "Here is our invoice price, how much above invoice would you like to pay?" My reply is that I do not want to pay over invoice. He then asked "Do you want to pay invoice price?". I said no and I wanted to pay below invoice. He gave me a strange look and I then offered about 3500 under invoice + the rebate for a total of 23884 vs invoice of 29884. He said that his dealer does not sell below invoice. Not even a second offer back to me. I have now emailed 10 other dealers similar to a suggestion here. I have no trade and will pay cash. Any other suggestions that anyone may have? Does my offer sound reasonable? Replies to this message: lilelvis (Sep 24, 2008 4:56 pm)
