Kilmer17 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Well, Obama signed the cash for clunkers legislation, so Im ready to go for a new vehicle for my wife. There is an 07 Honda Odyssey at my local dealer. They are asking 24999. A dealer about 2 hours away has the same exact van (just color differs) for 22499 with less miles. I'd like to get out the door under 20k after my trade (Cahs for clunkers will get me 4500). Figuring tax, title and "undercoating", I need the price to be 23000.00. Where should I start my offer?

If they are asking $24999 for the one you want here, I would start my negotiating at $18500. In this economy, you are in the drivers seat, literally. No way you should pay more than $21000 (after all taxes fees and and registration) before you cash for clunkers rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 My ex's dad did this: He sent out an email with what he was trading and what he was looking for including price, to several dealrships. The one that came back with the best response got his business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxBuddy21 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 If I could flip it so I was not upside down on my loan by about $3000, I would so trade my car in right now and get something new! Darn vehicle depreciation and crappy economy! As far as what you should do, I like the email idea. Send everyone an email with what you have, what you are looking for and what you want to pay and whoever makes you the best deal gets your business. You will probably get one or two takers in this economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor of Fed Ex Field Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 PM me the dealer, link me the car, and I will make the deal with for you. I do it all the time, Manager to Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor of Fed Ex Field Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 FYI: You have to know what the dealer paid for the van, when they got it, and what they could auction it off for. Very rarely do Used Car Managers lose money on a Used Car. New Cars, different story. You lose money on Used Cars, you lose your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan44 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I bought my 2002 Chevy Tahoe from Chris. He is very knowledgeable and is a pleasure to work with. You can't go wrong working with Chris in buying a used car/truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMK9973 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey Kilmer - Read up on the law. If you need a new car, and have a trade in, that's great. But you are talking about buying a used car. You won't get the federal money for that. It is for the purchase of a NEW car ONLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
