I had a negotiated price IN WRITING from my dealer before I put down the $500 REFUNDABLE deposit... The price was WELL below MSRP (minus any rebates available at time of delivery, which ended up being another $1,250 off, I ended up well over 10% below MSRP)... I think you may have been taken advantage of... If you don't have a price in writing you are at their mercy when the car shows up...

I told my dealer I NEED a price NOW or I'm not buying from you... By the end of the day I had a price in writing (which also stated "minus any incentives available at time of delivery")... Too many slimy dealers out there to waste 2+ months of your time hoping you are going to get a good deal...

Similarly to 2SS Capt, I also ordered my car and had everything but the rebates written into the order when handing over my deposit, including pricing details. In the end, when the car was delivered, the dealership honored the then-current incentives and even gave me a little extra loyalty bonus on top. One more thing, the car your ordered technically isn't yours, the dealership purchases them from GM and the invoice will be in the dealership's name, so they can sell it to anyone and refund your deposit when the car comes in. This is why you need a great dealer and another reason why Becky comes highly recommended by several members here, she doesn't play these BS games.

Here is a side note, if the ONLY option for me was to pay MSRP for what I wanted, I actually would have done it... This was a long time coming and I wasn't going to compromise... But when I found that SOME dealers were willing to work on price AND still let me order, I knew I had an in and worked it hard... I love a great deal, especially when I'm going to get EXACTLY what I wanted at a better price than I was expecting to pay...

No worries, I was just making it clear that I didn't compromise a single thing that I wanted for price... If necessary, I would have paid MSRP to get exactly what I wanted, I just quickly found out that wasn't necessary (just because you order a car, (even though one slimy dealer in Escondido, CA tried to tell me it was "GM Policy" that if you ordered a car you HAD to pay MSRP), well I ordered my exact car and I CERTAINLY didn't pay MSRP)...

I thank you all for your advice and comments, but I do NOT feel like I'm stuck in a bad position here, but rather the dealer is. Not have anything manuals to test drive is very telling to me that that is not the car that is selling. Also, I'm not in a rush here. Yes, it would suck to wait another couple of months to go through a different dealer to get the car I want and the price I want, but I am willing to do that. I feel that puts me in a better position. The dealer will be stuck trying to sell the car I specifically liked over what the masses may want and all I waste is a little time.

A lot of people are scared to do one simple thing, get up and walk out. If you have good credit and the cash all you need to do to get your dream car is wait for it at a price you are willing to pay. Make them chase you always unless your at one of the few who actually deal fairly. |

Yep, I did that 4 or 5 times last summer because I thought I could get a better deal. Thinking back, A probably should have pulled the trigger on a couple of them. But they were not exactly what I wanted at the time. Only one or two ever tried calling me back and don't believe any of them offered me a better price.

Yeah, I'm not afraid to get up and walk out. I know I'm not asking for something unreasonable, and the deposit is fully refundable, so I lose nothing. I will let you all know how it goes.

Best deal I got was when I ordered two of the identical Broncos from two different dealers. The price was set. rebates tbd.
I was in my 20s and looked like I was 16. I got a bad vibe from the first dealer. The trucks come in at the same time, with my last name on the window stickers. lol The dealer I felt good about gets me into finance and thats when it gets ugly. I'm getting frustrated at the time ticking away so I tell the salesman to go check inventory for my other order, at the competing dealship. The mgr comes in the room, beet red. screams at me to get "that red as a baboons ass truck off my lot" solid red, black cap, gray leather manual transfer case and hubs. Just a thought about options. And no, I don't feel for the other dealer. |
