| Just turned 40 and got my first new car. I bought the red automatic with convenience pkg. Dealer was running special for minimum $3k trade, so I brought my 90 Nissan Pick Up. Walked out with the car plus extended bumper to bumper for 7 years 100K miles and paid, including all taxes and fees, $18,026. I'm changing to black wheels and bigger tires. It should have a little larger tires on it, but they probably did it for mileage purposes. LOVE THE CAR! This is the first car to come out that I've really liked. It's totally different and has tremendous headroom for my 6'2" frame. | |
about to close a deal on an sx4 sport. I am at invoice, wondering if that is a good price. I live in the NYC metro area. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

| I test drove an SX4 at Seattle Suzuki in Shoreline, WA last weekend. We went there because it was the closest, but found it to be rather odd: a smallish lot, with no actual buildings, just a few trailers as the offices. Are they new? Will they eventually have a real building? I am leaning towards buying an SX4, but am hesistant to go through them. (For example, where would servicing be done?) Any info about Seattle Suzuki would be appreciated, as well as any comments/suggestions re: other Seattle-area dealerships. | |

Replying to: perry99 (Oct 01, 2007 2:10 pm) 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. In anycase, this replaces the 2007 Sport Pkg. For color I went with a new color for 2008 SX4 called Azure Gray Metallic. Hard to describe new paint, but in general it's a Charcol Gray with a hint of Blue. I am a little disappointed that Suzuki doesn't have much "news" out on the web yet for the 2008 lineup. All you find is their marketing blitz on the front wheel drive SX4 Sedan or 2007 data. So doing research on the 2008 SX4 5door hatchback or "crossover" was near impossible. However armed with what I found on 2007 and seeing that the 2008 only has small changes, it was easy to find a good price point with negociations on what I would pay. First let me tell you what I found "new" or changed in 2008 Touring II from 2007 Sport. '08 Gas Flap is opened by inside button (versus finger flip from exterior). '08 Touring II has color matching rear spoiler Std. w/ black trim. '08 Touring II has 9 speaker Std (subwoofer under driver seat..very small, but hey! that's 1 more speaker). '08 Touring II put in white lettering (easier to read) for the description of the 2 buttons to the right of the LCD read out that tells you MPG etc..('07 was just black..hard to rear what button was what). That's all I noticed..hehe probably some other very minor changes, but that's all I have seen at this point since I don't have 2 to go over inch by inch. Price for 2008 SX4 Touring II AWD: MSRP was 18,595 Dealer Inv was 17,911 Net Invoice (this is what you don't see) was ~approx 16,972 (could be off a little, but I was trying very hard to memorize so many numbers). I paid 17,000.00 (including Destination Fee). plus tax/title as with any car you'd buy in most States. Yes, that's a good deal from what I can tell. Most dealers will not go below Dealer Invoice. Tip is simply stick to your price. Difference between Net Invoice and Dealer Invoice is 3 main things that the dealer will get pending the individual car sale. I show above a difference of $939 between Net and Dealer Inv. $595 is the Hold Back incentive that Suzuki will pay the Dealer for Selling the car...approx $135 guessing (you get the idea) is what Suzuki will pay the dealer of "Show Line" which I don't know much about. Something to do with credit/carry costs I think (could be way off base). 3rd item would be Marketing. Suzuki will pay Dealer for Marketing schemes used to sell car (probably such as Web advertising or maybe tying ballons on the car) hehe I dunno. Bottom Line is be informed there is a Net Invoice that is Below the Dealer Invoice. So paying Dealer Invoice Price is a good deal, but you can do better unless the sales person is greedy or you get too greedy as well, play it cool show respect and talk smart. Appears to be a fun car with many options I didn't expect to find in a "commuter" type of car. I just hope when Suzuki finally gets information out there I don't find I really got screwed in price. So I post this as tips/news to others who are looking into this car as to aid them in their research. =) 2008...go zuk go. |
