    Hi, guys. What do you all think is a good price (OTD) for this Corolla:

    http://www.autooutpostnorth.com/2005_Toyota_Corolla_Mchenry_IL_266482108.veh

    With all fees included (taxes, plates, etc), I was thinking of offering them $5k OTD. Think they'll go for it?

    Probably not but no harm in trying. You can always walk and come back the next morning if they don't call you back. Regardless of what the "book" says, (which is actually fairly close to their dealer asking price) lots of people want clean low miles Corollas.

    True, and, depending on what the TTL and dealer fees are, it may be a reasonable approach simply to offer $5,900 OTD (rather than their asking price of $5,900+). That could be a significant (comparative) savings to you, yet come across more palatable to them at the same time.

    As long as you have a maximum out-the-door target, your initial offer just has to get the conversation started. If they don't take it seriously, then you have a harder time negotiating later on. Your maximum lets you know when it is time to walk away if they won't meet you there (or lower).

    Yep, I think $5900 OTD would take it.

    Yes. Show up on carfax also as minor damage
  • andres3andres3 Member Posts: 13,934
    That'll do it! Take my $30K figure and deduct 20% for accident history on Audi's. That's $24K. Then the other $2K deduct is probably mostly from my figure being too high and Carmax not loving Audi's.

    Actually, $22k is correct for NO accidents, so carmax is being generous.

    All in? They prob got about $10.5-11k. So $13k should be easy enough.

    Thanks!

    Hmm - the sales manager, with whom I've dealt with before at a different dealership, was refreshingly straightforward. He said they had about $10.5k in it and implied they could probably get to $13k. How novel - a trasparent discussion!

    They have it listed for $14,400. I didn't necessarily want to talk numbers until my wife actually decides she'd like it, but the manager did ask what I had in mind, so I said $12k. That's when he came back with the above numbers.

    Must be an addition. Giving them each a a family wagon in automatic, and a sporty hatch it's a stick as a toy?

    Nope - Clubman is an auto. This is happened twice now, where her heart actually really wants a stick, but she justifies the automatic that is available on the lot based on it being better for the commute (which it is). Her MK7 GTI was the other.

    Her issue is that she's never been one to enjoy having two cars to herself. Her first MINI was supposed to be the fun companion to her X5. Well, after a few weeks, she tossed the X5 to the wayside (well, to me) and made the MINI her main car.

    So, I'd say she may as well have this older, relatively inexpensive, hardtop as a fun car and keep the Clubman for a daily. But she knows herself, and she knows the Clubman would just sit around unused - which, at the end of the day, makes it more difficult for her to pull the trigger on the hardtop.

    No argument there - the GTI is the perfect fun vehicle to share, since we both like it. Some of my other options, like a Civic Si or Miata, were definitely much more "me" than "her."

    MINI Cooper S with a stick (potentially)

    Not much data to go on. Maybe in the $11k range at auction, so somewhere around $13.5-$14k fair retail.
