I think you may find some interesting discussion on the Passat in another Edmunds conference...please take a look at
>
and also the new car information available from Edmunds at
http://www.edmunds.com/edweb/autoreview.html
Thanks for the response. I was not aware of any dealer cash for 98 Rodeos (Edmunds doesn't have it, and nobody else does either). Is this regional? I live in Denver (as I think you might) . Please advise as this would save me lots of $$.
Thanks,

You didn't answer any of my questions, so I am afraid I can't answer yours. Actually I am not willing to discuss my interest in obtaining incentive documents in this forum as I don't want the general public to have access to them any more than GM does. Although it does seem somewhat absurd that they will spend $.5 million on a 30 second commercial to tell us there is a rebate on a certain vehicle then if you ask for details they say that is a secret. In fact some dealers have been willing to share this information with me and have been quite happy that they did, but running around from dealer to dealer to get access to the documents is somewhat inefficient and therefore I am searching for a method to build and update a complete library of incentive bulletins from one source. You assure Brutus that your sources are very reliable, but apparently you are not willing to divulge even the nature of those sources in this forum which is understandable. Is there any way we can chat privately so that I can explain my reasons and you can maybe give me some advice?
Explorer of $100 over invoice. But then
the dealer said that since the vehicle would have
to be transferred over from another dealer on the
other side of town, that he would not earn the
holdback on the sale and would have to raise
the price to cover it.
While I recognized this as the outright lie that
it probably is, I thought I'd ask if there might
even be the least little bit of truth to this. Do
dealers charge each other for transferring vehicles?
actually charging me 5% over invoice?
We went to the dealer friday night and although he didn't have what we wanted we got a look at the invoice. All the numbers were reasonable (actually, they were lower than what is listed here in Edmunds). Anyway, included at the bottom of the invoice was the addition of holdback (I thought this was money paid to the dealer by the manufacturer and was not charged to the consumer). Am I right? Should I tell them to take the holdback off of the price (adding in everything they had added - holdback, flooring, advertizing) results in a 11% profit if I include the incentive. Any advice?
Thanks,
Fungo
Do you think Toyota will offer another Man. rebate after 3/31? And is there a current Dealer incentive for the Tacomas ? I am in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks
I am in the market for 98 Maxima GLE and am confused by the following stmt on Edmond page:
Nissan 2% of the Total Invoice
+ 1.5% (floorplanning allowance)
What does this mean? Is it same as 3.5% holdback of the total invoice price? Also, is 2% correct or is it 3%? (new car report on Edmond says it's 3%...
Also, this is off the subject but do you know how popular 98 Maxima GLEs are so that I can try to negotiate accordingly with the dealers?
Thanks!
Why don't you post your inquiry about the Malibu over in the conference here at Edmunds Town Hall? There's a much better chance that a current owner will notice it and respond.Also, you might check out this site after you've posted there.
