What are good ways of getting a dealer down on their price?

 

cash

 

Know that the sticker price is not the price, you can always talk it down...

 

make every little problem seem like a really big deal, unless youre buying new of course

i got 300 off because i didnt want the tonneau cover it came with. 600 because the tires were pretty worn, 100 for body damage and rusted window trim. all this after gave him an offer.

just try to nickel and dime them

 

Never deal with a sales person, they have no real authority.

Talk to the fleet manager

 

I was ganna be like well i can get this one for less miles for this price and stuff like that. kinda sux that working for ford cant get any plans on used cars.

 

Check out Edmunds' TMV calculator. This is how I determined a reasonable starting point on the FX4 I bought earlier this week. Deduct anything that you'll have to replace or fix soon and go from there.

 

for the price you get new cars at why bother with used?

oh yeah how I got my dealer to go down on the price? Showed them I am a X plan Partner... Didn't even have to negotiate a final price haha It was what it was with the x plan.

 

A, X, or Z plans only apply to new vehicles-he's looking at a used one.

 

ok the 04 with 34k it says 14k there asking 16,995 so start from 14 and work down?

Then the two 05 it says 16k there asking 16,995 for the 2 05 so i will prob work on the 02.

 

I can get the A plan but not sure how much that is off.

 

just a little more than dealer cost.

dealers dont really make any money off vehicles bought with xplan or a plan

 

if your a guy, get a girl dealer and sleep with her........?

 

The thing I find that works find the truck you really want , then drive around and find another dealer close and just pick a simular truck that you also want , Call the dealer of lot 2 tell them your coming to look at it , then go back to lot 1 and test drive that truck to lot 2 and get both salesmen knocking off price left and right normally the second lot will win because his sales manager can aprove it right there .

My friend did this looked at the almost exact same truck just differant color and only few miles off and the second lot came off 3k on the spot then got them to eat TTL and extended warrenty , the best part is the first salesman goes back empty handed .

But the only bad side is if you play hardball on the truck your buying thell knock it off the trade in .

 

check out the 04 level 2 thats modded to hell for sale in michigan its clean and hes a good guy from what I heard from scottg

definitely look at that add in the classifieds and its like 10,500 to...

 

Yea he hit me up.. I cant do that many miles

 

Check out this article. really good read. A little long but worth it. http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying...2/article.html

 

I decide what I think is a fair and reasonable price for the vehicle I'm looking at and I pretty much won't budge on that price. I always do my research first so I have a good idea what I should be paying. Don't let the salespeople pressure you and always be willing to walk away.

 

Definately. Most people don't know you can deal with the fleet dept. even if you're buying it for yourself. Definately go in there and they can help with new or used.

 

just an FYI

i bought my truck in 04, new, for $17,000

it has 2 doors, cruise, power windows, locks, and a cd player, 4wd, 4.0 auto.

it didnt come with: tint, mp3 payer, 4 doors, fog lights, or carpet. I have a rubber floor and LOVE it.

 

wow that is a good read
