How would you determine the best price to offer a dealership for a new car?

Question:

Answers:

I'm in the midst of car shopping.

Here's what I've done so far. Gone to Edmunds.com and look up cars you like and price them out for the options you want. They'll give you the MSRP price, dealer invoice, and the average selling price.

If a business qualitfies for a SBA loan, does it mean it is making a profit?

Then you should go to Consumerreports.org and pay $14 for the Buying price guide for that car. They'll tell you a lot of what Edmunds tells you, plus the hidden "Dealer Holdback" info. What is that? It's a rebate the dealers get from the manufacturers. So in essence, Dealer invoice is not what the dealer pays. True dealer cost = dealer invoice - holdback and any other incentives they get.

Lease or Buy?

I just recently thought a quote from a Chevy dealer was good when they offered me $560 over dealer invoice. Only after going to CR did I discover the dealer also gets an additional $650 holdback from the mfr. $1,200 over true dealer cost is not that great in my opinion. So it was back to the drawing board for me.
