My advice is to focus on the "out the door" price when negotiating to avoid having the dealer tack on all sorts of extra charges as you write up the contract.
Good luck!
My final price 24,999.
Here is why these prices have gotten so low in California. I spoke with the dealer who told me that a bunch of Chrysler Dealers in Southern California have gone out of business. Here is the good part. They can only sell their inventories to other Chrysler dealers at auction.
Since most dealers are cash poor there are only a few dealers who can afford to buy up the inventory thus creating rock bottom prices. They were not only buying demo's but new cars as well. They showed me a few other cars that were new that they bought for .50 on the dollar.
I live in the Los Angeles area as was afraid of buying the car online but it was a snap. I made the deal on the phone, hopped a flight to San Fran. The dealer picked me up at the airport, took me to the dealership, filled out the paperwork and six hours later I was back in LA with my new car.
I would suggest to anyone who is doing this to make sure all your financing is done before you go. Also put a small down payment with your credit card. By doing this they can't sell the car out from under you. Also make sure they send you via email the official quote down to the last penny so you can have it in your hand when you get there. This will avoid any funny business by the finance dept.
I wish you the best of luck.
I will be sitting in my car watching cartoon network on my Sirus satellite TV if you need me.
thank you in advance for reading this and any information or advice given is appreciated.
I was surprised when I was told that Chrysler Financial is no longer writing any loans at all, so the zero percent financing advertised through May 4 is unavailable. I hadn't seen that announced anywhere. In fact, I came home and looked on the Chrysler Financial website to find they are still accepting applications in the space right below the "We are not in bankruptcy like Chrysler Corporation is......." announcement.
With excellent credit (no joke.....my rating is in the top 2% of nationwide scores) the dealership quoted me 7.99% for 60 months. My local bank is offering 5.49%.
I was offered $18,500 for my 2007 loaded Lincoln MKX. Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book both state a trade of approximately $24,500.
I am realistic when it comes to car buying and I know it can be somewhat of a game. I am also aware they aren't giving their inventory away. However, I wasn't expecting such an extreme attempt at screwing me over at this point in Chrysler's situation.
It's a beautiful car and I would definitely have considered driving home with it had the offer been reasonable.
Oh well.
I know there are a lot of dealerships closing, I've seen many cars listed as "new" with the years being 07 and 08, much less even all the 09s. I'd think they would make some killer deals on a 2007 that's been sitting on the lot for 3 years!
We're going again tomorrow, so I'll update if we get a good deal. Is anyone else out there buying 300s?
one i love is in vanilla 300c awd 200 miles has luxury and protect group II and is at 43,646 invoice and was put into the showroom last Oct 08
and the lowest out the door with rebate with new grill is 41,464
the other is a bright silver with no protect II and they want 39,000 out the door and has 8K miles
what gives with that?
Why am I not being able to get the the silver with 8k at 35,000 out the door as it is a demo
and the other the vanilla is being driven by a dealership owners mother
what Is up when the 2010 are coming out and the prices are this high
Please help me suggestions and prices styles!
