| So, went into the dealership yesterday to give offers...salesperson said he'd have to get sales mgr approval, who wasn't actually in the office that day. So, let us leave, and told us he'd call back if he could get a hold of the mgr. Called us in about 20 mins w/ an offer of 32,500 OTD. We had originally offered $30,500 OTD. Would have gone up to $31,000 OTD, which would have put sales price of the vehicle at around 29,000, which we thought was more than fair, given that these are pulling in around $27,500 at auction. They won't budge off of 32,500. It's been 3 days...what's going on? Their sticker on this vehicle was 30,998--so their offer of 32,500 meant a selling price of 30,200...only 800 off sticker??? doesn't seem right..thoughts??? | |

$35,269.00 is what I was quoted by the 'internet' dept. and I know around 800 should be added for destination. so effectively 36k for 36 months should look like what figure per month at acura's best rate for excellent credit? thanks in advance car_man |

Then walk out. This is a buyers market, and he has a less than desirable car ... |

Replying to: megsie88 (Nov 01, 2009 8:45 am) My advice is to pass on it. You don't know what the dealer paid for it (they might have bought it at auction themselves) which means they may have paid more than $27.5k for it or they just want a set percentage of profit and aren't one of those dealers that like to deal. Keep looking, you'll find something. Or give the dealer one more chance, tell him it's their last chance to accept your offer. If they don't you'll be purchasing else where.

Replying to: ebcarbuyer (Nov 01, 2009 8:15 pm) Yeah, we decided to pass on it...thanks for your advice. They called us back yesterday and actually asked US if OUR offers had changed...LOL....I was like, "no. Have yours?" We also heard that the owner of this particular dealership is "very weird" when it comes to dealing with anyone. Apparently he has all the money in the world, and really doesn't care one way or the other. That's the word on the street anyways...  So, we'll just keep looking--thankfully, we're not in a situation where we NEED a car right now. So, time is on our side! Thanks again!

| So after testing the RAV4 V6 which I was about to buy, someone told me about the new FWD RDX and after one drive I was sold. Unfortunately the first dealer I went to , Esserman Acura, made the experience very unpleasant. They offered me $13,500 on my trade, an 08 Accord LX which is easily worth $15,500 to $16k wholesale and I scoffed and insisted I wanted a minimum of $15,500. They kept me waiting and said their "team of appraisers" was working on it. I finally got up and walked out even though the suddenly offered $15k as I left. Then they called half an hour later and offered $15,300. I told them I don't care if they offer me $15499.99 I am not taking it. Finally they called back an relented but by that time I was so turned off I called another dealer who had the car I wanted in stock, Rick Case Acura. They were courteous, pleasant and after friendly and quick negotiations we worked out a fair deal for a base FWD RDX (no tech package)> MSRP was 33330 and I paid $31440 which is less than Edmunds TMV. | |
