Replying to: sewellgsm (Nov 17, 2009 1:42 pm) If I get the Nav Package, then I have to get either the Sport or Tech Package. The turn off for me on the Sport Package is the 18 inch wheels, I don't mind bigger wheels, but It rains lots here in Oregon, and I might have to drive in snow, so I was thinking the 17inch wheels were a better option. The Tech Package isn't screaming "buy me!" but it seems like the it has the options that works better for me. I could be interpreting the differences incorrectly too. Then there's also the 2010's that are rumored to have a better center console design and better Video Screen Display. I may have to find a fax number for you.

Replying to: sewellgsm (Nov 17, 2009 12:58 pm) Exactly why I posted originally. It is hard to give pricing advice when having a vested interest. I've been buying cars for years at invoice +$100-125 or below invoice on many without any rebates/dealer cash. There are car dealers that advertise just about every car in their inventory for below invoice. CarMax, among many others, new car lots do it all the time. For example, a 2010 Maxima SV Factory invoice of $33,744 which they are selling for $32, 248. That's about $1500 below invoice on a 2010. There is a $750 customer rebate involved but how do you explain the other $746? I would guess they rely on making it up on trades. However, that price can be cash w/no trade. So I guess that's how they do it and they have been doing it this way for as long as you've been in the car business. |

Replying to: m6user (Nov 17, 2009 4:44 pm) As for advertising, many dealers advertise loss leaders, to get customers to call or email in or come by - but we don't sell every vehicle at the ad price. We both know that. I don't know all the Nissan programs or what contest, certificates, etc. they may have going. But no one on here is posted they are buying cars for $3250 below invoice - so I don't see your point - this is an Infiniti G buying site. I collect information about my competitors as much as give advice - one of the biggest things I've learned is many dealers charge "dealer fees" and huge "doc fees" which is just code for profit - we don't do that here (maybe we should start). If I am $500 over invoice and someone else is at invoice but has a $500 doc fee - are we not at the same price? It is a ugly circle - dealers want to make money, some customers don't want to the dealers to make money - dealer finds ways to make money without customer realizing it....customer starts to hate dealer for being sneaky...dealer starts to hate customer for being cheap....that is why we choose to give upfront prices, give fair values for trade, give great rates, no dealer fees, reasonable doc fees ($143)...and that is why we sell more cars than all but 1 dealer in the NE last year - our prices may seem a couple of hundred higher at first, but once the whole deal is put together it is as good if not better and many people like that approach. PS Obviously, I get paid to sell cars - my advice is free - take it or leave it. I'm on your side m6user - I really don't want to argue with you anymore. Have a good night.

But your advice on pricing......I think I will accept your suggestion and leave it as I would have lost a lot of money over the years by taking it. Cheers.
