The boss has given me the green light, so now I'm looking on line and see that are remaining 2010s left. What do you guys think is a fair price to offer for a fully loaded coupe sitting on the lot collecting dust?

 

. . .

I wonder who that might be?



At most, at the very most, invoice less all incentives, less either the hold back or the ridiculous dealer fees. Expect the depreciation to come hard on the '10s so squeeze as much you can.

 

So if your boss gave you the green light, what would you offer?

 

Invoice.

 

/not mine, so no embedding.

 

Look also for a low mileage used one, you could find a really good deal.

 

When you have all the finances ready ask for the invoice price, the holdback, dealer fees then figure the total. Your bottom line should not be less than $4.5K off the MSRP. If you offer is not receptive ask if your contact number is wanted just in case and move on to the next dealer.

You have the advantage of being in the middle of winter. If you have a trade in it could mess up the deal unless you are ready to sacrifice its value for the car you have in mind.

 

If that is the route, spend the money and have it professionally inspected from top to bottom, and at least twice. The thought of it being previously damaged or abused has to be kept in mind.

 

Around here no special deals on a 10 GT500 all still at MSRP.

 

$1k over Invoice or less.

 

In El Paso you can get them for MSRP, maybe a little less with negotiating. That's pretty much it though.

 

I was at a Smart dealer this past weekend and heard an interesting comment from the manager as they tried to get me to buy a 2009.

I asked if where were '10s. He said, "They are all 2009's. Daimler won't allow us to order any 2010's until we sell all of our 2009's."

That's the way to promote sales!

 

I did, Kona Blue/White Strips, HID, NAV!

Woohoo!
