Only insofar as much as you can get more selling it on your own. There are a lot of people who don't have the time, patience, etc. to sell it on their own, so they take less on a trade in. with respect to this system, you don't mention a trade in until the very end once everything else is negotiated.How do you handle a trade-in with this system?trade in are always A lose situationHow do you handle a trade-in with this system?
sent the email out this morning.....As mentioned before, I've done this for my last 3 cars.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to try this buying 2 cars at the same time from the same dealership during the last week of the year. Should be even greater savings.
Just starting the process now - know that I will buy a Honda CRV between now and April 15, but started the research this weekend on exactly what I want and am willing to pay. This time of year the hard part is deciding whether to get a new 2015 or a new 2016. All comes down to $$$ for me as I know the basic type of vehicle I want and am not in a hurry to be forced to buy.sent the email out this morning.....As mentioned before, I've done this for my last 3 cars.

So, I am looking at buying a 2016 Kia Sedona. When I enter the info into Edmunds and KBB, they both come back with a 'true price' of around $34500. The dealership has the Sedona already listed at a sale price of $32800. So, it looks like they are already $1700 below invoice. Unfortunately, there are only 5 of the model Sedona that I want in a 100 mile radius at only 2 dealers. The other dealer (60 miles away) has them listed at a sale price of $32500. Realistically, how much lower could I get the dealers to go?
What did it mean previously and what does it mean now.Factory Invoice does not mean what it once did.
I never walked into one dealership until it was time to pick up the car. It took 5 minutes to get their emails, 5 minutes to write the email and another 5 to email back when it was time to counter. 15 total minutes, never physically seeing themSeriously, if you figure in your time invested how much do you really save? If you have to call 6 to 10 dealers and spend time with each one at the dealership looking at cars. Seems like a PITA. Wish there was a company that could do this for you and you just pay them a flat fee.
I just got a 2016 Chevy Silverado XLT Z71 that has a LOT of after market parts in place. Wheels, rims, running boards, bed liner, after market hood, heated seats, cooled seats, adjustable pedals, leather, you get the point if Chevy had the option I got it on this truck.
Listed for 60k Left the dealership for roughly 42K In and Out in less than 2 hours.
You know exactly what the incentives are. It proves you know things. I had multiple dealers say, you really did your HWSo what's difference in using the $40 "program" and just emailing multiple dealers asking for quotes?
That must have been some trade in they gave you on the lion.Seriously, if you figure in your time invested how much do you really save?

You work out a price, then you can talk about financing, trade ins etcDo you have to pay cash?
I didn't read a word about financing.
Do the car dealers think you are paying cash? Some of these car deals include almost 0% financing or close to it. When do you start asking about that? On your way to pick up the car?You work out a price, then you can talk about financing, trade ins etc
Like I said, I worked out my price. Then when it was time I have a deposit. They asked how I was paying for the rest, I said ill take the 0% financing. They said ok.

I've been in the market for a Dodge Charger Hellcat. I sent out four emails to dealerships last week specifically because quarter end is coming up soon. One sent me a price $6,000 more than what is listed on their site, two sent me the prices on their site and told me absolutely no negotiation, and the other dealership never got back to me.Anybody have any tips on something like this for a car that is hard to find and typically marked ~$10k above MSRP?
You can get some cars below invoice while others it's difficult to get it much below MSRP. It just depends on the vehicle, the time of year, whether they have a surplus or it's in demand, etc. You can go to Truecar to get an idea of what a good price is and what people in your area are paying for the vehicle configuration you're looking for.Okay, I just bought the info from Fight Chance. I can't buy until September, so I think I screwed up since it gave me June deals. That said, am I doing this right?
I got the invoice price and added the options and packages I want. The total price with destination charges comes to $33,338. My goal would be to get as close to that price as possible, right? The MSRP on their website with all that comes out to over $36,500

Going to Truecar, like I said above, shows you that a Subaru Outback with an MSRP about where you have it has a Truecar price of $33,400, or right around invoice. Average was just above that and the lowest anyone got it for was just a few hundred below invoice. Based on this, you should be getting this car around invoice and can try for slightly below but may not get it.Subaru Outback. 2.5i Limited
Yes, it would work. You negotiate the price on a lease just like you do when you buy.Would this work if you leased? I've never leased before, but I'm considering it.
Looking at this another way, does truecar let you search for the type of vehicle and specifications then give you a list of vehicles you should be able to get the best deal?You can get some cars below invoice while others it's difficult to get it much below MSRP.

No, I don't believe so. In all honesty, if you're looking at a lease, things change from month to month and there's a few different factors that can help you get a good deal. You can end up paying less for a more expensive car if you find the right lease deal. There are lots of guides out there to help, but you're essentially looking at these thingsLooking at this another way, does truecar let you search for the type of vehicle and specifications then give you a list of vehicles you should be able to get the best deal?
We won't be buying for another few years or when one of our vehicles is no longer worth fixing (her odyssey has 90k miles, my highlander has 136k now). But I'm curious.
Married couples can give up to $26,000 of gifts ($13,000 per person) exempt from gift tax.Interesting occurrence last weekend. Recently we found out our daughter and her husband are expecting twins. Wife drives a 2011 Chevy Equinox, daughter drives a hoopty. Wife decides she wants to sell the Equinox to our daughter for whatever our daughter can sell her hoopty for. Market value for Equinox is in $15K - $17K range - low miles, great condition. Meanwhile daughters vehicle is a POS 1994 Ford Taurus with max value somewhere around $1500 if we are lucky. I think the way it goes down is we just trade vehicles (daughters title was still in our name) - and get daughter's name on the Equinox title and have her pay us $100 or whatever the lowest we can get away with, without it being considered a one-time gift. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Car will be great for them, help them out as they are not in a good position to buy a decent vehicle with twins on the way - and the wife and I are in a position to make the deal happen and purchase the wife a new vehicle.

You're insane. $11k seems ambitious.Market value for Equinox is in $15K - $17K range
You're off by two orders of magnitude. More like $15.POS 1994 Ford Taurus with max value somewhere around $1500 if we are lucky.
