Paid MSRP by reeser8

Metallic blue, 5-spd manual, base model. I wanted the convenience package, but oh well, I didn't want to wait months and months for the cruise control I barely use. This car was dropped off at the dealership this morning. The odometer read "5". I thought that it was a compass, reading S for South! Single digit odometer readings are a real treat.
  
I have to wait until tomorrow to take delivery of my baby because in California, the car needs to be smog-checked before I can take it onto public roads. In fact I only got to drive the car around the parking lot. (I had already test-driven the automatic one at a different dealership.) The dealer also has to do its own test drive by law (the car was just dropped off hours before).
  
I paid exacty MSRP for it -- $15,594 + fees. According to KBB, it's just $600 above invoice, which translates to 4.1% above invoice. Not bad for a car so hot (as far as supply vs. demand) that they have trouble keeping any in the lot! I expected them to insist on a dealer markup, just like any car in demand, but this really laid-back salesguy wrote down MSRP, enumerated the fees, and asked if it were OK. I demanded that they give me a free cargo net and an extra set of floor mats, but they told me I could only choose one. I chose the floor mats, worth $120.
  
I took advantage of the Suzuki's financing promotion for the month of September (9/1 - 10/2). I made it just under the wire! The rates were according to the credit score you have. I got into the best rates category, 1.9% over 36 months. The rest of the promotion was 0% for 24 months, and 2.9% for 48 months, etc. I didn't keep track of the longer terms' rates. I think they offered up to 72 months. Anyhow, this financing just ended today, but they have something every month, so you should ask.
  
I can't wait to pick it up! I will report back details soon.

looks like I may have missed the 0% financing for 60 months deal I was going to make. I'll still ask about it and see what else I can glob on to.

them interest rates you talked about i think werent in all states. I say this because i live in PA and on the corner of WV and OH. i called 3 dealers, ( one in each state) and each one said there were NO incentives or special interest rates for the SX4. i told him i read where people are getting these rates and they all said it must be a regional thing.

that I will lobby hard for a low interest rate but I'll buy one with as high as a 6.5% interest rate and come off as rich as...as rich as...as rich as somebody really, really rich.
 
Hee-hee...talk about a salesman's dream.
 
Want to buy a 2007 Suzuki SX4 and head up to some inclement weather areas of Arizona. Like Mt.Graham, for instance. It is a site of many a bloody battle with the Apache Chiricahua Indians for control of the Cochise County area there in SE Arizona. I'm truly living in the old Wild, Wild West and I want a rig that will be able to bop through a touch of inclement weather now and a then.
 
Something tells me they may even offer me the 0% interest rate still. Have to find out. Need the info.

That's interesting, because the sheet detailing the interest rates is from American Suzuki Financial Services, and it says "Eligible States: All states except Arkansas and Hawaii." I have the sheet scanned in PDF if you want me to email you a copy. It was called the "2007 MY ASMC PROMOTIONAL RETAIL PROGRAM." You may need to talk to the financing department for someone with a clue as to what's going on, especially if it's a low-volume dealer. They told me that the promotion changes every month, and may not necessarily extend to every model.

I'd definitely like to get a copy of that pdf. Is there a way to PM you on this board? If not, I have a "junk" email address that I can post.
