Which is (approximately): ================================================= Invoice (find this on many places) Minus Factory Holdback (~2-4%) Usually 2% on Toyotas. Minus Factory to Dealer Incentives (check Edmunds, Cars.com, etc...) Minus Consumer Rebates ADD destination charge (a legitimate charge) Minus Factory Floorplan Fee. = Dealer Cost. Factor in fair dealer profit (say 3-5%) Include sales tax. That's your offering price. All other Fees are NOT legit and should be renamed "more dealer profit." If the dealer doesn't want a fair offer, then either 1) the car is truly in high demand (NONE on the lot and a 6+ month waiting list) in which case you're stuck. OR (more often) 2) He trying to get every last dime out of you and you should go somewhere else. Last time I bought a car, I faxed my offer to 6-7 different dealers. In my town, one dealer never called me back and the other two lied. They stated they would meet my offer and had the car in stock. One didn't have the car in stock, the other wanted to add 'fee-a-rama' I ended up getting the car out of state, my make, model and color for the price I set. YMMV and good luck. P.S. I'm assuming cash offer, no trade-in. If you need a loan or have a trade-in, it gets even more complicated. |

I got a quote from a dealer for new 4-door Yaris 2007. It is automatic with AC and standard airgbag. No power package, no ABS, no side airbag. the quote is 13600. Is it a good deal?

A reporter would like to talk with a consumer who have purchased a Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit or Nissan Versa and why they purchased their small vehicle. Please respond to ctalati edmunds.com no later than August 22, 2007 with your daytime contact information and what car you own.

Replying to: kirstie_h (Aug 21, 2007 5:50 am)  Hello, I'm also looking into these three models. I think that the Yaris has better gas mileage than the fit and the versa, however, the versa has 4 doors vs. the yaris with only two. The fit just doesn't do it for me, the body style seems more like a hyundia. I'm going to be test driving all three and make my final purchase on labor day weekend. Versa has a $500 incentive with low interest rate, plus additional $500 for college graduates. I hope that toyota and honda have a labor day weekend special. Honestly, price of the car will determine which one I will purchase, also I would look into which of these three will hold their value. good luck. RR
