I've been doing all of the negotiating over email and now they want me to come in to fill out the buy order. What exactly is this? I googled it and couldn't find much. Are they ordering the vehicle or is this when they try to hit me with additional fees and add ons that I don't want?
Also, I have financing lined up through my bank that I can use if the dealer can't beat 3.96%. I have never used 3rd party financing. Does the dealer send info to the bank about the exact price or do I handle this?
the bank will then send the dealership a cashier's check, then you get your car!
hope this helps!
The model I want is 2.5X Auto Premier/AWP + autodimmer mirror, cargo tray, body side mold, splash guard, rear bumper cover, and front head cover. They don't have black color in stock and I need to wait till end of this month.
The offer I have is around $24074 + TTD (6% tax) and $26000 OTD.
I am not sure if this is a good, and how much room for negotiation.

how about this?
one question:
I finance through Subaru, I do not get the certificate of title, the dealer told me that the title is now in the bank's hand, They will give it to me once I pay all my payment, is that correct? First time buying a car, many questions.Thank you for any comments

$23,888.
Edmunds.com has a TMV of $27,787 for this vehicle...seems high to me.
This is the pacific northwest region.
Thx
Do a Edmunds TMV pricing report and show them. The price they give is wayyyyyyyyy better than the competition. If you went somewhere else they would of gave you a MSRP quote!
The one I want is the 2.5X limited (non-turbo) with some options that add another $500 or so.
The usual price I saw on Edmunds was $24,800 TMV 25,700.
So I will shoot for between these numbers tonight when visit them...
The prior quote of $26,500 was too high for a non turbo.
Where did you purchase?
I did the costco check and they came up with $25875 (not incl TTY) plus the costco $495.
This was $400 over invoice...
Your deal seems exceptional...
Thx
The price quoted to me was at the TMV by Edmunds.
Each of you have paid significantly less and from the SAME dealer...
So, I have a deposit down, but no signature or purchase order.
I will speak with them tomorrow about adjusting the price in an appropriate manner.
Lets see what happens....
Thx
Did you refuse to pay the document fee $150?
Another way to boost the price.....
That fee is "negotiable"....
I also look at the base model 2X with rear bumper cover, cargo tray, luggage compartment cover, cross bars (no roof rails), all weather floor mats for $24000 OTD.
I am torn between 2 above packages. Please help me to decide which one has a better value (resale, back reclining seats, etc). Is it worth 3000 for those premium upgrades? Thanks.
Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium + options.
MSRP $25,910
Got it for $23,000 + TTL + Doc + Tax.
Great sale person came with the price in 5 minutes.
I signed contract. They didn't take a down payment. Am I stuck? Should I feel awful?
Picking the vehicle up tomorrow. Am I right not to buy dealer warranties, paint coating?
There was no pressure: by way of example they didn't even try to sell me an extended warranty...
good folks to buy from.
Sticker: $25,268
Note: PZEVs are $300 more than non-PZEVs
Cash Price: $23,216
Includes all dealer prep/doc fees but before my state Title and Tags (no sales tax in NH, Live Free or Die).
I paid cash so did not take advantage of the factory APR offer and there was no rebate in effect. I got the sense that a year-end deal was important to them. There may have been another $200 to be had, but I didn't want to take the last dollar from a community-minded local dealer who is very supportive of civic and school groups.
Not only is the price of the new car OK, but also they gave you WAAAAAAAAY too much for your beater Civic.
No offense, but $1337 for a 15+ year old beater with hail damage that won't pass emissions? I'd say the value was more like $500, and only to the right buyer.
You should teach a class on negotiating skills, that's how well you did. :shades:
Thanks.
I live on Long Island and can't do better than 4.5%. I visited 2 dealers and rec'd 2 internet quotes. My best offer was
MSRP - $27,305
Purchase price -$26,090
The dealer claims this is $200 over invoice. Includes all except for tax and DMV.
Extras include rear bumper cover, luggage compartment cover, and rear cargo net.
What do you think of this deal? Any preferred dealers on Long Island?
My offers based on invoice pricing provided by Edmunds are quickly dismissed. I'm not looking for every penny, but want a fair deal.
Please help.
Also, have you tried the Internet route--contacting the internet sales people at each dealership via email and asking for their best price? I found an internet saleswoman who said she would go at least $100 below any other price I was quoted. This was very helpful when negotiating with my dealer.
Subaru's are in BIG demand, and we all know the old economics of that. There aren't any good colored, good package Forester's lying around on lots for long.
just my $.02
I'll keep trying..a new car would be nice, but the old one still works!!
Thanks rubykats!
I'm sure the tax rate is lower in Carolina, but the savings on your deal is substantial.
Thanks for the response.
I knew a person who bought a new 80k Mercedes every 10 years. He usually put about 250K on in 10 years.
Once he bought the car he NEVER went back to the dealership, not for recommended maintenance or anything unless he had a problem. ie: needed break pad replaced (when they were worn out.).
He said his first car he followed the rec. schedule for preventive maintenance
and spent over 15K just on preventive maintenance! in 200k miles.
His second car he did nothing until there was a problems and he spend k less that 5K TOTAL on the car in 200K
Standard (preventive maintenance is just a way to get a lot of money from the driving public. (It's ok if your an old lady who knows nothing about cars)
But it is a way for dealers to keep billing your forever.
