Any idea how to get supplier price?
My guess is, however, you can do even better once the rebates are back and red tag is over.
Also, Edmunds is running the rebates as $2500, am I missing something?
Selling Price - $26,215, residual 58% for 36 months 10,000 miles per years, 4.75 money factor. They had a lease rebate of $1,760 and I have GM points of $1,260. Tax on leases in PA is 10%, they quoted me $326.29 a month. Nothing due at signing (Sign & drive), acquisition fee was $595. Is this a fair deal? Thank you.

thanks
Current Chevy offer is 0% financing on almost all new remaining 2006 GM cars. Negotiate your best deal and save thousands in interest payments.
GM employees get a special discount after they make their best deal.
In Ontario Canada the steel company that makes the steel for the GM plants in Oshawa, offers the steel workers (CAW comparable to the UAW in the USA) a special discount after their best deal if they buy a GM product.
Recently in Ontario GM VISA indicated families could combine their GM points I believe up to the maximum in the purchase of a new GM product.
Year end purchases are good for the consumer if they plan on keeping the car for a few years. Remember if you trade early your 06 will be a model year old in a few weeks.
There are some minor changes for the 2007 Impala, including some color adds/deletes.
Jumping ahead in 1 year the 2008 Impalas will be out and there should be an anniversary edition for the Impalas 50th anniversary.
If you have more then one Chevy dealership in your area go to both and play one against the other for the best deal.
Deals can be made!
But if you don't trade for 5 or 6 years what little difference does it make if a car is 5 or is 6 years old as re tradein value? I feel that the extra year is offset by the lower mileage since it really a long 5 year car as far as usage rather than a 6 year car although model year might be six years.
I'm not disagreeing with anyone or anything said. I just want to point out there isn't totally an extra year's mileage on the car. I've been keeping cars 8 and 10 years. So the cars are 5 years apart and I get a new one every 5.

Do you have employee's discount?
The bible(s) estimate the Impala (Msrp 23000) be a 14000-15000 car in a year so-- not too shabby. That color is cool too.
Motoralley.com is a good site with ads from all over the country for many models. That seems to be one of the good deals. Things should improve more in sept-oct. The 2007s appeared in lots around here about a month ago. That they cost more is irrelevant. MSRP isn't very meaningful.
This is a helluva car for a change and beats the Ford 500 hands down. Impala and Malibu are actually way up there with Accord and Civic in the top 10 most popular cars. (Ford Fseries Chevy silverado and Dodge Ram pickups in the top spots as usual) And THOUSANDS LESS for the V6 models. (Not sticker mind you, but possible negiotiated price for both)
Personally, when I get some money in sept. I'm shooting for 6800 off or more on an LT3 package 3.9 V6 (24000 msrp). I'm faxing the sales managers in 20+ dealerships with some flexible requirements toward the last week of the month (this cuts down on the nonsense especially if they know other dealers are involved) and quickly narrowing it down to the top 2-3 heroes.(Cincinnati is loaded with car dealerships, the most per capita in the country for many makes)
I sold cars for years, trained numerous salesmen and have purchased many new cars over the years in a similar manner in general they don't stand a chance as there's no deal I gotta have. All new cars are essentially commodities and one is just like the other. The store most desparate to book a low or no profit sale wins.
Always remember that despite the nominal "invoice" price being public many of the dealer cash incentives are unpublished nowadays and mainly based on sales targets and customer satisfaction surveys. The only one who truly knows the cost is the sales manager/fleet manager himself and that itself may change as the month (or quarter) progresses.
BTW, other than filtering 15-20 dealerships competitively to determine the bottom line a good quicky thing to do is to find out what a 1 year old model goes for and start from there. If an 05 goes for 14500 how much depreciation do you want to eat the first year? Its as simple as that.
Obviously only a masochist would pay 23500 msrp and eat $9000 to drive a chevy (thus our dealer cash and hidden cash and rebates all of which 'sigh' honda -has been able to *mostly* avoid) I guess 2500-4000 may be a good target premium(over wholesale)at the beginning of a model year(07s now), more if the model redesign or its just hot. This shrinks steadily over the months until demand normalizes and next years models appear. Our limit would depend on how smitten we are.
Closest to 1yr wholesale for an 05 you can get is best as sept -december appears for 06s
The price we pay from msrp is under our control, and happily after the first year, depreciation seems to be a constant 1700-2200 bucks for a while, as the market takes over from the Henny Youngmans who print most American car MSRPs, which determine our first year cost. Msrp is also not realistic but less fanciful with many of the Honda, Toyota and maybe Nissan models.
A extreme example is the Dodge Durango. With msrp $33000 this is a 19000 or less vehicle in a year(05), making it financial suicide to purchase even 2000 under invoice. (4000+ in hidden dealer cash available here folks, exclusive of published rebates etc) We would want at least 10000 off, at this time in the model year, perhaps working for more.
Rotsa Ruck and thanks for your MSRP and price paid experiences

It is extremely hard to sell used Impalas privately. The market is flooded every year and car lots have tons of them for sale. There are many posters on the (2005 Impala and before forum) who posted their stories that had no luck in selling privately and couldn't believe the low residual on these cars after 1,2,3,4,5 years.
Edmunds and Autonews.com indicate that the Impala has one of the lowest residual values in its segment. Good news for the used Impala buyer. Buying a new Impala now at a good price might mean a poor return when traded in down the road. I was a new Impala buyer before but not now. I am going to wait and buy a 1 year old 2006 or 2007 Impala when they become available. Lots to choose from at great prices. If you gotta have new get your best deal.
Does anyone know much the 2006 Impala LTZ will depreciate now that the 07's are out?
I have an 03 Grand Prix GT thats coming off lease in Oct- and we test drove the 06 Grand Prix, Buick Lucerne and Buick Lacrosse, and the 06 Impala 2 weeks ago- the Impala
was the one my wife really liked over-all.
Waiting for a few dealer quotes on the 06- my question is -is there that much difference between the 06 versus 07 to not go with the 06 for less money?
We will be leasing and more than likely, not purchasing the vehicle at the end of the lease.
Thanks for any feedback
You may know the exchange rate american better than I but is it about 15%? 32000 cdn =29000 American?

I think that the flip and fold flat rear seat is a hot option. I wish it came with a fold flat passenger seat like the Malibu Maxx and Ford Five Hundred.
I hate the wood grain instrument panel and doors comes standard on all Impala's except the SS. I would want the 3.5L to take advantage of the E85 fuel. Speed isn't on my priority list. Do you know how hard it would be to find a exterior and interior color and desired options without the wood grain!
My desired Impala would be the 3.5L LT trim with the dark grey exterior and gray cloth interior. Options 2LT equipment group, ABS and traction, flip and fold flat rear seat. Would want a sunroof but I'm trying to keep price under $20,000, another thing I like about the Impala, possible to get one under $20,000.
No one came even remotely close to the $3430 discount described earlier. Most wanted around $500 over invoice. I wish I could find something anywhere close to that kind of deal. I think I will have to wait until most dealerships have 2007s on the lot before they are going to give a good deal. If I could get the price below $21,000, I think I would go for it (before adding $2000 GM card earnings and 0% for 60 months).
Should that be 32000CDN/1.15=27826USD?
The car dealers here are so mean to me. I can only get the price for invoice-rebate. It's just way off the deal here.
the $3430 off MSRP must be an employee discount. correct me if I was wrong.
I want to drive there,800mi though.

below the price he quoted. Ok Gang help me out here, with year end Factory to Dealer Incentives, isn't there room for 1,200 - 1,500 more to negotiate with, bringing this car closer to 22,500.00 (or about 5,000 off original stick after rebates)
Is my expectations too high, or should I go for even more of a discount ? Please anyone with any knowledge in this department, please feel free to answer. I will keep you posted on my progress.
To Sum things up, Dealer will sell me car for Invoice less the 2,500.00 total cash rebates for around 24,100 Delivered
Price plus T,T&L (On a MSRP 27,685)
Thanks in Advance
I guess that is Carry-over or extra cash to dealer. The one Dealer I talked to, said they are receiving no Factory
Incentives. (Model year is over and 2007's are rolling in,
Surely GM is giving Dealers cash on 2006's, Yes?)
Chevy's managed to move a ton of these 06 vehicles, especially with the 0%, so a single dealers inclination to deal on 1 or 2 leftover 06's may be limited, especially the higher end ones.
In other words, your expectations may not be too high, but the dealers willingness to deal may not be there. If dealer's had success getting other yokels to cough up 24000 on "leftover fever" you may be outta luck. (The one you're interested in may be the only one acceptable within 100 miles no?-- he may wanna sit on it)
Look up my message 12481 in the Honda Accord prices paid discussion. Read /Purchase the information suggested and learn the things needed on how to buy a car.
If you really need this car (you're horseless) start with "I will buy this car today for 19,000(or less) and work up (you can always move up but not down) Feel the situation out. I'm not really excited on this method but if you need ride quick you need a ride quick. They've sold for up to 7-8000 off.
Happy hunting

2006 LTZ MSRP 27,685.00 , Dealer is telling me his invoice is $26,600 (which is bull) but will sell the car to me for $24,100.00 after rebates. I told him his True Invoice is way
below the price he quoted. Ok Gang help me out here, with year end Factory to Dealer Incentives, isn't there room for 1,200 - 1,500 more to negotiate with, bringing this car closer to 22,500.00 (or about 5,000 off original stick after rebates)

Though I would be surprised if they would come even close to
the prices or discounts you mentioned. But hey, I'll try anything once, and just hope I don't tick-off any Sales person(s) in the process. One thing they are stuck on in this city is that 499.00 Advertisment .... That I had him dropped quickly, then told him when he can shave another 2,500 off , I might consider giving him my business. So this weekend I'll set out and give it a whirl. And will even include trying for the 2007 model as well (another suggestion of yours).
Thanks again ...JR

an MSRP of around 28k for a price below 23,000 k yet? I know
it may to early in the model year to get 5k below MSRP
but hey ... some hungry dealers may have already done it. I set out to purchase a car a few days days ago, got a bit side
tracked. but ended up negotiating my 13,300 wood flooring down to 12,021 installed. Hahhahah , So I guess I'll now wait til end of the month and start pricing for a new vehicle.
