was probably doing fine on his trade though on the first pencil, but seemed to be getting hosed on the discount from new since they basically penciled at MSRP and "threw in" the bric a brac stuff.
To me, if you know that they were being realistic on the trade already, that has to mean they are making it up on the top line, so need to concentrate your effort there, since you know that they can easily show that they are already stepping up on the trade, taking your leverage away.

Great example of why the OTD price is the only figure.

My car buying rule #1: Don't negotiate at the dealership. Only show up there to test drive and take delivery.
Oh, another thing:

Bets anyone? I'm guessing an MDX Tech.

Actually, I had 2 online purchase offers. I finally agreed to buy when dealer that would match Carvana agreed to also price match a competitor that quoted a lower purchase price (but much lower trade offer). All this though was done via text, so all I had to do was go in to do paperwork and take delivery.

TLDR - XC90
So @28firefighter - The MDX was the bargain of the group. If it was solely for me and I could have squeezed it to $500 from the $520 I got down to, it would have been tough to pass up. Wife wasn't in love with it and we all know it's getting replaced soon. The 2017 Enclave was the last of the run and now really feels outdated.
Caddy - Dealers really didn't care if I bought or not. Leases were atrocious, $678 36/10 for a 53K vehicle. Wife would have been happy and we would have saved the dispo, but not at those prices. It's also a touch smaller than the others
And the winner as most of you called is the XC90. Wife's favorite (mine too). She wanted white over blonde just like my car, which isn't easy to come by. I reached out to a broker on LH offering a "light/light" 2020 with 9% off MSRP plus the added Volvo rebates stacking loyalty. Yielded a 619 payment with $619 DAS. He lowered his fee to $349 which is much lower than any other brokers. Wife is thrilled and yes we are a little hokey with color coordinated Volvos.
I'll recap the transaction once we pick up on Saturday.
Here is the car again. I know you all think I'm crazy but remember the carpets are black and leather cleans easily.

X3 but pricing on these with the right options is ridiculous and would have to go svc loaner
X4 same as above and loaners are thin on the ground right now
Not a lot in this sized SUV world leasing well right now and with the LC we really don’t need 2 3 row SUV.s. She’s set on an SUV though. Wants something that sits higher than the X1.
I pushed the MDX. It’s a little bigger but seems to lease well right now. She’s already had one so that was out. Liked it but just doesn’t want a repeat.

My wife is too funny with the dispo fee. She said I have to negotiate that out. I told her there is no way as it's set by the bank. I explained we avoided it three cars in a row, and to get over it.
