"If more consumers would convince themselves that KBB is a much more accurate value of what their trade is worth, there would be less animosity in the negotiation process" We'd also have less animosity if car buyers drank six martinis and downed a couple hits of valium before they started negotiating, then KBB would seem to make more sense. When trading a car, KBB can only be used against you--the same goes for buying a used car. In either case, a dealer showing you KBB to support his price is trying to add false credibility to his low trade offer or high retail price. Consumers should NEVER rely on KBB values or they will lose every time. I think Edmunds offers the most realistic values on used cars and have bought and sold several cars within $500 of the Edmunds retail/trade/private party values. (I'm not such a big fan of TMV, which tends to be too high).

Replying to: vinnyny (Oct 31, 2007 1:32 am) Is 4% worth fighting for in a car deal? Sure. But my experience says that the "KBB is bad" theory is inconclusive, and that as a rule, KBB is a decent pricing guideline, just as Edmunds is. -c92 |

I'm looking to make a purchase today on a CX-9 GT AWD. I'm looking to quickly make a transaction (received all Quotes) and getting the car for 200 under invoice. Is it wise to apply for Mazda credit prior to going into the dealership or should I wait? My credit score is excellent from all three companies. Please advise Thank you

Replying to: seloo (Nov 04, 2007 10:32 am) Edmunds gives me: MSRP:$39,510 Invoice:$36,300 TMV: $39,060 Put it this way, 39k is not what I'm looking to spend on my next vehicle. I was looking to go 36 tops and preferably 34ish. I'm guessing I'll have to take off the Nav package to get in that range, but am I looking to get the car for about 500 over invoice? TMV is so high it's kind of throwing me. I could use some advice.

Replying to: dash5 (Nov 08, 2007 7:46 pm) Unless you must have a car today, I would wait a few months. All economic indicators are pointing down, so it is possible the environment may be better in a few months. Waiting will also let the SUV of the year hype fade some. While you are waiting, shop your price around and let the dealers call you if they want to make a deal. Check out the auto mall prices. Based on recent purchases, I would make the invoice price my goal. If there are rebates then invoice minus the rebates. The dealers are padding these cars with a number of extra fees, port fee, prep fee, doc fee, ad fee, etc.... next, they will have a test drive fee (just kidding). Let time work for you and not the dealer. Good Luck and keep us informed. |

Thanks Seloo, good advice. I dont have unlimited time but I'm not exactly in a rush either. I've still got to look at the Highlander too and possibly a Ford Escape. I'm ok with 500 over invoice if it will get the deal done before the bad weather gets here in force. I'm gonna ignore the TMV I think. Anyway I had my test drive yesterday, convinced us we wanted the CX-9 over the CX-7. Had the dealer "work up some numbers" just to get an initial feel for them. I was amused when the finance guy came back with "450 per month" for 60 months including our trade in which I know to be worth about 11k. I asked what the price of the car was and he said "i dont know". Seriously  Anyway I left it there because I wasnt going to make a deal then, but thought I'd share that little story.
