Question:
We got a flyer in the mail and went to a local car dealership. The flyer said they'd give $3000 off the purchase of a vehicle. We picked out a truck and they said it was $25000 and with the discount it was 22. We told them we'd think about it. We looked online and their ad showed it for 21 without the "coupon".

What's the legal age for renting a car in the united states?
do yuor homework. if you are buying new, go to edmunds.com and find out what invoice is on the truck and work from there. this site will also show all current incentives and rebates the dealer may "forget" to tell you about. i to this very day am amazed that people get taken so often in new car sales with the resources available to the public.if it is used, go to kbb.com and find out what book is. decide what you are wanting to pay ahead of time, compare prices at other dealers and don't rush into anything.

Which one is better honda civic EX or LX or HX ?
edit: not to go against what others are saying, but it is impossible for you guys to generalize the markup on vehicles the way that you are. some automotive companies leave so little profit in between invoice and msrp that you will get thrown off the lot with the tactics you are suggesting.
What to look for under the hood when buying a used car!??
find out invoice weather it is going to edmunds or asking the dealer to show it to you, subtract the rebates and incentives given by the manufacturer, add 250 - 500 to the number you are getting and offer that to the dealer. unless you know someone, or run across a dealer that thinks their car is going out of style, you will not likely get a car for invoice or below.
How to sell my financed car to a private party ?
2nd edit: why is it dihonest for someone to want to make money off of a service they are providing for you? is it dishonest that starbucks makes 2$ per cup of coffee they sell you? are mortgage brokers dishonest for charging a comission? everyone wants dealers to give cars away for free, and starts pointing fingers and calling people dishonest for wanting to make an honest living.
some of the most upstanding, honest people i have met in my young adult life have been automotive salespeople.
The answer is NO. The best tip is to research prices, like at the Kelly Bluebook site, and never take the first price the salesman tells you.
Which car should i buy Lancer ,Impreza or Corolla?
nopewhy some maney questions about car dealers?
Should I throw some d's on my b!tch.?
Nope. They get a commission based on the sale price. Sometimes you have to specifically ask for the internet special, or the first deal is only good for the sticker price. It's all about making you pay as much as they can get from you. Nothing honest about it.Sporty inexpensive front wheel drive car?
i dont think its a since of a honest salesman because they all have some mess with themFree Car History Reports Online??
Take the add online for $21,000.00 and then ask them to take off the $3,000.00 This is illegal in Colorado unless they honor the $18,000.00 offer. Kelly Blue Book is only a guide. The most widely used guide in the business is NADA. There really is some good dealers out there. People do not understand on how margains for a dealer are so small. If you went and payed full MSRP on a new car they are making on average of 10%. But nobody pays full MSRP. Average profit on a new car is around 5%. A dealer has to pay a floor plan of almost 1% a month. The average new vehicles sits on a lot for 63 days. So now there average profit is less than 3%. Show any industry any with a 3% profit margin. Wal-mart for instance has a 78% profit margin. Oh back to the Kelly Blue Book as a guide- Pick ups are real high in demand right now, on the wholesale market we are paying $2000.00-$3,000.00 over book- so that should tell you what a book or guide is worth. I have tried to sell a car to the book, but it doesn't work. If you are interested in a truck I will give you an actual market value. That's why all the dealers are going broke. You can go to edmunds.com and see what there cost is and then you in and offer less. No wonder why they are going broke. Just imagine going to edmunds.com and see what wal-mart pays for their items and then making them an offer. An average salesman makes much less today than they did 10 years ago. Been in the business for 24 years. mortgage broker is illegal in Colorado. The law states if you sell more than 3 cars or have the intent to make any profit in any year, you must have a dealer license. Brokers do not have a dealer license.OJ Simpson glove had over a 1000% mark up, could you imagine selling a 40,000 pick up for 400,000. OJ glove wholesale cost was under $6.50 and retailed for over $65.00
How can I get fair price cars?
Do know what it cost to insure a dealer with 400 cars and building that worth millions and it usually has over 200 employees. Do know what this insurance bill is every month. Anyone want to take a guess???
I am looking to buy a used car,something no too expensive,is 100,000miles on a car bad?
I hate buying cars! yuk. But found a way I didn't have to deal with it. I used a broker to go find me the car I wanted. She brought me 3 different cars, in my choice, and I got to test drive without a salesman. She works with them to get the deal. you pay a fee, but its so much smaller than the 'service fees' and junk fees the dealerships try and pawn off.You could also use your insurance company or credit union or even Costco to do the work for you! I once bought my car through my credit union and had it send to another state where I was moving!
Yes.you can definitely trust me and I'm a car salesman...
Does anyone know how much a 1994 L Reg VW Golf Cabriolet is worth?
Saying that is like blaming the guy on the checkout for the incorrect pricing of a bag of cookies. You should take it up with the boss down there. He (or she) is the one who decides on offers, prices and coupons. Go kick some butt and ask that they take the $3000 off the marked $21000 price tag.Would you rather have the 2007 Honda CRV or the Nissan Murano.?
believe me they are all crooks they only believe in the bottom line and that is to take your money the more the better so do not fall for those deals that they give shop around and put one dealership against another and compare you will get a better picture and will most likely land a good deal when you aty incharge set out a price and do not let them talk you out of it stayfirm on the price you have sat watch how they try to get you to buy .
Other websites that sell cars?
First off, don't go to any sale where you get a "flyer" in the mail.BMW 2007 3 series coupe or Mercedes c350 coupe?
These sales are purposely done to have you spend $5k-$10k more than you have to.
There are very few honest salesman, they all work on commission and don't really care about service. I used to work in the industry and seen how greedy and egotistical the owner and General manager can be.
I'm going to a police auction on Saturday to get a car , what should i look for and look out for ?
That being said, research, research, research the car you want. Internet has really hurt dealers, so use it to your advantage.
Also, haggle as much as possible, the first offer is always $8-$12k higher than the cost, and they usually do it by payment. Don't fall for it.make sure they tell you the bottom line.
Do your homework before you go to the dealer. You have to be firm on the price that you want and stick to your guns if you move you lose and they win. You have the last word to say at any time, if you feel that he or she is screwing you just get up and walk out. Remember its you money that you are spending and you have to live with the car for many years after the purchase. Be strong and you will get what you want.

When purchasing a brand new car, Can you really get it Thousands below invoice?
I picked out a vehicle that I liked, had to fight my way out of the dealership to get home. I looked up and printed out info on the value of the vehicle, subtracted $3,000 from that figure and then held out until they let me have the vehicle at the discounted price.
Car salesmen will say just about anything to sell a car.
My car salesman is out today so should I go?
There are some honest salesmen and dealers out there, but even if they were all honest, you would still need to do your homework. Check for pricing at nada.com or kbb.com. You can also get retail and dealer cost for new cars there. Be sure you find out what incentives are available before you start talking about pricing. Go to two or three dealers in the same brand to get the best price.Would anyone be interested in buying a 1976 Volare Roadrunner?
No, you have to know what you're buying. Do research, don't grab a flyer and head to a dealership. The salesman is working on commission, so the higher the sell price, the more money he makes. In your scenario that's more "deceptive marketing" than the salesman.Q. Do you know how to tell when a car salesman is lying?
A. When their lips are moving.
Know the bluebook value and take 10% off of that. Don't spend a penny more than that.
Can any one plz help need cool car stuff?
Get your own financing before you do to the dealership.
Take you own mechanic and be sure to get 24 hours to take to a reputable shop for their inspection before you agree to buy it. Or get a worthy 48 hour return guarantee no questions asked.
HA, ha, ha, ha, ha... Mmm, Hmmm. Ha, ha... LOL & LMAO.
You're funny. An honest car salesperson is the same thing as saying an oxymoron. Good enough, yes?
What does pas mean when you are advertising a car for sale?
Not to many!I would let that dealership know they lost you as a customer just because they lied. Next time you go to buy a car it's always better to have a man preferably someone at least 40 and knows something about cars, I'm not trying to be sexiest but car sales people take advantage and are very pushy to females even more so if your young.
I don't know if you have a Car-Max in your area but that's the last place I bought a car and they were very honest and fair.
Has anyone had any bad experiences buying cars off of Ebay motors?
YES! They are the ones whose lips don't move :)Where could i find a dump turck junk yard in southern california?
When dealing with new cars keep this in mind, there are three prices involved: MSRP, invoice and invoice minus holdback. When they advertise that they will sell a car at invoice, that is not the price that the dealer paid. They pay invoice minus holdback. So, go in and say you will pay invoice minus rebates and if they don't agree, walk to their competition.

What is the most luxurious mini-van?
Every dealer is aloud to set thier own individual prices. I have a family friend who owns a dealer and he is one of the number one Chrysler dealers in my area. He has fair prices and will help anyone out that needs it, if they ask for it. Because his dealership is in a smaller town (still classified in my area about an hour away) getting vehicles there are more expencive for shipping there, adn getting service parts there are harder too. He sets his prices up higher to help with the costs of shipping and parts shipping. If someone asks why his price is what is is when the site price is so much more less, he tells them straight up and then if they ask, he will drop the price to that price and add any deal the site is offering at that time. He is one of the most trustworthy people I know, We have bought many cars from him in the past. (1973 Dodge Dart (used),1986 K-car (used), 1987 Plymouth Caravelle (used), 1996 Plymouth Voyager (new), 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport (new), 1997 Chrysler Intreped (used)) and we have sent many people to him and everyone of them has been satified. Just because of sterotypes industrys get a bad name. Never in my dealings or my friends dealing with him, have I or anyone I know felt cheated by him.What is MLM?how does MLM work?
The only things I can tell you is that most people, be they dealers or private individuals, tend to over price their cars. Contrary to popular perception, this isn't done to accomodate for haggling, it's because they think it's worth more than it's actual value.What car is the best for a first car?
With that in mind, I always use Kelly Blue Book to tell me the actual value of the car. So long the car is priced in the range of Blue Book value, it is a fair deal, regardless of who is selling it or whether they are honest or not.

Is there a general fico score "table" lenders use to decipher interest rates for auto loans/leases?
As for finding a car that's worth 22k per Blue Book and you see one priced as such and you buy it, then later you find another ad for the same car for 20k, that's just the breaks, even if it's from the same dealer. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes they do.
Im selling my car tomorrow and cant find my logbook anywhere. What can I do if I cant find it?
Because if it's worth 22k and that's what you paid, then you got a fair deal.
Daddys a millionare what car should he get me?
Best I can recommend is if you find that ad, print it out and take it with you on your FIRST visit. Matter of fact, always print or take a copy of the ad with you (because you never know, it just might be the cheapest).
Good luck.
