I was quoted 6.35% on Thursday, Dec 6th. I heard the real number is less than 6.35%, but I don't know for sure. Dealers have the latitude to move the rate up to add some cushion to their profit. I don't think the number is too much lower than 6.35%.
again..I presented them with the MSRP price.....and told them what the invoice was showing from Edmunds and KBB.....you have to add in an advertising fee of about 2.5% which is another $800 approx to this invoice price......and I started the negotiation from there....go to each of their respective websites and deal with their internet POCs
realizing that GM just announced a price increase on base prices of 0 to 1.5% based on the model.....so would expect about another $500 because of this...
again this is to order them...and not from dealer stock.....
no telling what the incentives might be.....the financing option is great now.....I honestly would take the deal at this point...this is the exact car that I want....except the color and the addition of the P63 wheel option which adds another 1600 to the MSRP...and perhaps a slight larger discount off it.....
I live in NYC and am looking to purchase a CTS soon. I'm looking for AWD, performance package, and nav. I'm just wondering what kind of deals people are seeing in the NY/NJ area and if anyone can recommend a good dealership.
Cars that are on the lot have expenses built in that ordered cars do not.
I have almost always ordered my cars and the price differences are generally pretty decent in favor of the ordered car.
The issue for some folks, tho, is that we all want our new cars NOW, not 3 months from now.
To each his/her own.
Ok, my step dad has a supplier code, but he has never used it. He was told that he has to buy a vehicle first before he can share the code. Is this correct? He lives in Texas, so I don't see how we could do this... I am so bummed because Moore has the exact car I want and Lindsay sold the one I was thinking about. Do you happen to know how I could get my hands on a different code? We will also be able to get the $500 military incentive on top of that as well from what I understand! Any help is appreciated!
Question: Can anyone please tell me just how light the "Light titanium" leather seats are? I am deployed to Baghdad and have only seen this car via my computer monitor. While the Cadillac.com website pic shows a medium shade grey, a couple of gray interiors I found pics of on cars.com make me think they're much, much lighter, almost off-white. To boot, the GMWorkbench paperwork lists the color as "VERY" light titanium which, to me, when matched up to the ebony dash, moreover ebony carpet, brings a bit too much contrast for my tastes. I have no idea whether the carpet is black (ebony) or titanium. The dealer from whom I ordered yesterday has none in stock to check for me. I'm almost leaning toward the ebony/ebony now - shouldn't be too late to make that change. Thoughts?
So, would $4500 off MSRP be considered a good deal? I got in too late for all the GM incentives (ended on 2 Jan 08..darn it!) but was able to manage a $500 military discount, another $500 rebate of some sort, and a 3.9% offer from GMAC.
Also, anyone know if the DVD player on the NAV is exclusively for maps or can I play a normal DVD movie as well? I know, my salesman should have these answers but again, this is a retirement community dealership and stock mostly DTS's. Of course, he'll inquire for me, but with the time delay and weekend, I was hoping someone here might help square a soldier away so I can get my order just right.
Oh, (last one today...PROMISE!)...any guesses on the wait? He tells me 6-8 weeks, but I find that hard to believe with the popularity of this model. Thanks again!!!
$4500 off of MSRP is an extremely good deal IMO, since it is below invoice. However, I am curious how the dealer agreed to the financing rate and rebate at the time you ordered the car. I was told that those incentives are not determined until the car is actually delivered.
I agree that the titanium interior is too light. I ordered the ebony interior with the Light Platinum exterior for that reason.
I asked my dealer about delivery and he was uncertain if the car would be delivered in 6-8 weeks. Since the factory was shut down for two weeks for the Holidays, he said that they will likely be behind. Only time will tell.
I paid $42,465, or $1 below invoice - total OTD price was $43,309. Downside I guess is I have to wait a couple of months, which makes it perfect since I'm deployed here in Iraq and won't get home until mid-Feb anyway! Perfect timing!
Oh well, I'm sure we're ALL gonna enjoy our new CTSs. My mother said they had about 4 CTS commercials aired during the Giants/Bucs game last night. Enjoy all!!!
Car is great, I hope and pray the car hold up as I am married to it for 5 years, Grand Prize have been really good to me. The only think I forgot to ask when picking up the car was for them to throw in a free oil change and detail...other than that, go for it. I also went to Grand Prize as they are local for me...it can help.
Hope I didn't ramble on and on and this post helped.
I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I started my search for a CTS by visiting my local dealer, doing the test drive and seeing what kind of price they could give me. After some back and forth they offered to accept a couple hundred over invoice on the basic (no options by auto trans) model I was looking at. Eventually I decided on the options that I wanted. I found the exact vehicle at Napleton Cadillac. Since, it was a weekday and a near 1.5 hour drive away I called to try and get a price from them. The first price I was quoted was $500 less than invoice. (At the time there was a $500 manufacturer to dealer incentive.) I knew then I was dealing with a straight-up guy. I made the deal and was going to pick up the car that weekend.
In the meantime they "accidentally" sold the car I wanted. But they offered me the same deal "$500 less than invoice" on another vehicle they had on the lot. As it turns out, I like the options and colors on the car I got more than I did the other car I was looking at. At the dealership there was no haggling, no pressure, and no gimmicks. I know it a bit of drive down to Hammond, Indiana but I would highly recommend those looking for a good deal to contact Napleton Cadillac and get their best price. I think you will find that it is worth the drive. I was a little worried about the hassle of taxes involved in an out of state purchase, but that also turned out to be just as simple as buying at your local dealership.
When I first started to look around for the CTS I had a lot of salesmen tell me the car was too hot or too in demand for them to come off the MSRP. I think my story disproves that line. If you keep exploring your options, especially in a larger area with several dealers in range, there are good deals to be had. Keep trying and don't accept the lines about supply and demand.
Another bonus of where I purchased is that there was no ad fee tacked on. I asked the salesman about it and he said that they as a dealership had opted out of the program that charges customers for ad fees. I didn't know dealers had that option. But finding a dealer that doesn't charge the ad fee is sure a nice and easy way to save around $500.
