#111 of 164 Re: 2008 SX4 Touring II Pkg. [tenderfoot] by perry99 Oct 04, 2007 (6:34 am)
Replying to: tenderfoot (Sep 04, 2007 12:28 pm) > Price for 2008 SX4 Touring II AWD: > MSRP was 18,595 > Dealer Inv was 17,911   Did you get the invoice price from the dealer? Neither Edmunds nor KBB has the invoice pricing for the 2008 SX4 Crossover yet.   > Bought a 2008 SX4 w/ Touring II Pkg AWD. I have no idea why > they call it the II as there never was a Touring I.   I looked at the SX4 Sport sedan, and it looks like it has an option called just "Touring," so maybe the "Touring II" on the SX4 Crossover is the second after the "Touring I" on the SX4 Sport sedan.

Replying to: perry99 (Oct 04, 2007 6:34 am) I never mentioned "invoice price" and neither did the dealer. I went in with a print-out of some one elses deal of $17,000 + tax and licence and I indicated that I was looking for this same price, which I finally got. Everyone gets free oil changes from this dealer but not me at this price. But I think I did good at $18,733 otd for the silver touring II auto. The car is awesome. Better than I could imagine. A real bargain. Replies to this message: perry99 (Oct 04, 2007 11:17 am)

Replying to: rg11782 (Oct 04, 2007 9:07 am) I was asking "tenderfoot" (the quotes are from his/her post), since tenderfoot mentioned a specific invoice price, and I was wondering where he/she got it.

Replying to: perry99 (Oct 01, 2007 2:10 pm) Hey this post just caught my eye. I actually work at Everett Suzuki at Dwayne Lane's in Everett where Everett Mall Way touches Evergreen Way. We ain't a dirt lot, we have a big building. (We're actually a pretty new dealership.) I haven't been fond of Seattle Suzuki, myself. But yeah, I just wanted to let you know that there are other Suzuki dealerships in Washington. Not many, but we're out there!
#115 of 164 Unfortunately stereotypical dealer experience by perry99 Oct 13, 2007 (9:11 pm)
Speaking of Dwayne Lane's in Everett, I went to try to buy an SX4 today (2008 SX4 Crossover w/Touring II). They offered invoice, which was okay (but not as good as another dealer offer I had), but they wouldn't give me a good price on my trade-in. We did the silly back-and-forth between the sales manager and the faceless guy somewhere in the back room (the usual good-cop, bad-cop routine, just like an episode of "Deal, No Deal"). After I showed them the Kelly Blue Book trade-in quote which matched what I wanted, they came back and said they use nadaguides which had a lower trade-in quote than Kelly Blue Book, but then proceeded to only offer me $1,000 _under_ what nadaguides said. Even with my lowest offer for my trade-in, I know they could have easily made at least $2,000 profit on a re-sale (my trade-in was a late model popular car that even has some original warranty left on it). But they wouldn't budge, so I walked out. When I went home, I only then realized that the nadaguides printout didn't even reflect all the extras on my car. So not only did they not honor the nadaguide price they at first said they used, they also were not honest in the printout they showed me. I know they're out to make a buck, but it's unfortunate that they took the usual dealer games to that level of dishonesty.
#116 of 164 2008 SX4 Crossover w/Touring II, automatic by perry99 Oct 25, 2007 (12:48 pm)
Seattle area. Got the 2008 SX4 Crossover w/Touring II, automatic, & the arm-rest accessory for $17,629 + tax. That's vs. $17,876 invoice ($17,251 + $625 destination) + $129 retail for arm rest, so I think I got a good deal.

Replying to: perry99 (Oct 25, 2007 12:48 pm) That sounds like a good deal. I've been researching the SX4 for a couple of months now. How is the back seat room? I'm thinking of test driving the SX4 for use as a daily commuter but carpool with 2 other guys. Both are about 6'2" and 200 lbs. Will it be an agonizing commute?   Also I'm curious about the armrest. Is it a storage armrest? Please keep posting your comments here.   Thanks, Rob Replies to this message: perry99 (Oct 28, 2007 3:56 pm)

Replying to: crazedcommuter (Oct 25, 2007 3:41 pm) This is the "prices paid/buying experience" forum, so I'll post my reply to your questions in the 2008 SX4 Crossover forum.
#119 of 164 $500 Customer cash 11/01/07 by rustygates Nov 07, 2007 (9:10 am)
Went to my dealer (I have a sx4 Sport on order) and he informed me of the new rebate. When I got home, I verified on the Suzuki website. It applies to ALL sx4 types and years. Made my day! There is also $500 rebates for military service, recent graduate, repeat buyer.
#120 of 164 Desimone Suzuki, Phila, PA by caddyman Nov 12, 2007 (12:44 pm)
Desimone Suzuki runs classified ads stating they'd "like to buy your car." I needed to sell an extra car (not a Suzuki), a very low mileage 2004 import in MINT condition, so I visited Desimone Suzuki and spoke with the manger, who told me he had the authority to negotiate a price. After he carefully inspected my car and test drove it, we agreed on a price and a deal was made, so I thought. Then it needed to be inspected on a"lift" which couldn't happen until day #2 because all the "lifts" were tied up for the balance of the day. On day #2 he couldn't schedule a time when the lifts weren't busy, obviously Suzuki's require lots of "lift" time, so we agreed to consummate the deal on day #3. I called him at 9:15AM on day #3 and he told me that in addition to the "lift" inspection, the owner needed to sign off on all transactions and he'd call me when the owner arrived. I asked him, "will this happen today?" and he replied "absolutely." I called again at 12:30PM and the owner still hadn't arrived but to wait for his call, which I did - no call. On day #4 I phoned him at 10:00AM and he told me that he was with a customer and he'd call me back in 10 minutes. On Day #5, at 8:45AM I phoned the owner to explain the sequence of events, and he also gave me the run-around, bordering on rude - apparently company policy. By noon on day #5 I sold the car to another dealer and had the check in my hand.   Bottom line is avoid Desimone Suzuki. Watching their cable ads, their business model is to sell cars to people with poor credit who shop payments. There are plenty of excellent cars in that price range and certainly better dealers. Buy a Honda, a Toyota or a Nissan where the the manufacturer is very concerned with the how their dealers treat customers.
