20% discount is excellent. But obviously the MASSIVE negative that you’re paying sales tax and finance charges on is going to skew this much higher. Your payment is $502.61? What is the MF they are using?
Well if you like the 330 and your payment is only going up $15 a month, seems like a decent choice, you hosed yourself on the T̶i̶g̶u̶a̶n̶ Atlas though. I’ve got a Tiguan SE and a 320i for $522 total a month and I just did first at signing.
Try bringing in the car to car max to get a quote. From my experience they will offer more than the dealership. If you need to roll that into your payment, get their appraisal and have them at least match it. Just my two cents
yes i understand i got hosed on atlas. wife just cant stand the sluggy large vehicle as she puts it. also looking to lower payments deal came back with 475 a month. guess i will try to haggle mf and trade value a bit
Thanks guys any more input on haggling would be great
It sounds like you guys don’t actually need to get rid of it for any reason other than you just don’t like it.
I understand getting out of a car you don’t like, but you’re losing your ass financially on it because of that decision. Would it really be all that bad to try driving it a little less and revisit this in a year or so when the negative equity isn’t as bad?
Well I’m ecstatic that someone is actually trading a ‘hot new SUV’ in for a sedan. Sedans for life! If you guys have this much moolah laying around to burn, do it up
What are you paying monthly on the Atlas? How many miles on it currently? You might be able to transfer out of it on swapalease, craigslist, facebook, etc. Surely for less than a $6k (which is gonna cost you more like $7.5k after finance charges and sales tax) cash incentive.
Ahhhh I didn’t realize it was a purchase. Double check value with third parties to make sure that dealer is making a strong trade-in offer.
How did they get payment down to 455? You’re in the territory where you actually might be able to swap this lease out with no incentive and make someone else pay your negative off. This is turning out well!
