Replying to: jano2 (Aug 22, 2007 6:05 pm) So if they (laborers) have nothing to do they still get paid the same salary. I bet that the moldings are a snap together puzzle that is easily installed. You'll never know how they do it or how long it takes because you are seeing the work preformed. But I can bet you that they'll tell you it takes 3-4 hours....is that including lunch break? ahah The workers will never work on ONE job at a time but several. In this way they could be doing many things and the dealership charging OUTRAGEOUS fees. Did it really take that long...I truly believe its much less than you think. You can't argue with the dealership. Get it done 3rd party, you'll save $100 easy. |

the salesman to ask. HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO SPEND! This is your DEATH wish. The dealer will charge you just slightly higher than what you want. So when you hem and haw the deal making is now in THEIR court...not yours. They make you come to them with this ploy. NEVER...EVER get to the price point of what you want to spendl. They won already. Don't tell them how you're gonna pay UNTIL you finalize the bottomline PRICE they are willing to sell. But to do that you must RESEARCH till you drop. Never commit to them as to WHEN you're ready to buy. They ask that all the time. When you don't get the deal you want...get up and leave, NO SECOND GUESSING!!! And NEVER respond to the question...."What's it gonna take to say yes" This is another way to get you to argue with them. They want that dearly. Always say that I'm shopping around and won't make a decision until I believe that I'm at the lowest price that exsists in the market. Even tell them you're willing to pay cash. That'll keep them in YOUR PARK. Won't make a difference if its not! They'll sell it deal to the bank anyway. The O7s are already on the losing end in a give back even before you leave the lot....its depreciated just sitting on the lot. The 08s are where THEY want to be and not sit on inventory. There's plenty of 07s around....SHOP TILL YOU DROP! You'll save thousands. Ask about their money factor once you are ready. Ask WHEN the car was build...date. Ask their RESIDUAL %....this is of the UTMOST importance in pricing it out for the montly payment. Lexus have EXCELLENT resale value and should garner 55 to 60 percent. They higher the number the lower the montly. But that ALL depends on the PRICE! Don't EVER take the line it doesn't matter what the price is...IT CERTAINLY DOES MATTER!!! Why! Because the percentage and montly is used against that figure. They lower the lease term the HIGHER the residual percentage...hence the lower the montly. Remember...NEVER...EVER tell them or answer them "How much do you want to spend"... CHANGE THE SUBJECT and control the deal by working solely on the FINAL PRICE!! At some point all the dealerships you've been talking to will be close. When that happens GET THE EXTRA OPTIONS for Free to seal the deal with whomever is willing to give.

| Moderators, why doesn't the invoice price appear for the base price of the car? I really need to know the invoice price of the car with options before I can make a deal. Thanks. | |
