Sorry for making a similar post, but I think I am getting close to this deal and want to know if I can still do a little better. I am very new to this and have some questions.
I attempted to negotiate it down a bit via telephone and this is what happened:
I asked for $1k more discount, said he couldn’t do anything. So, I said then we must do something about the MF. He said he couldn’t. I pushed a little more said he could take $500 off the sales price. Inquried about MSDs, he wasn’t “aware” of them. He put me on the phone with the sales manager, told him what I wanted to do and told him gotta do better on MF, he brought it down slightly (still over buyrate). Told me something about checking with biz department about MSDs. Told them I’d call them back tomorrow about it, he said I gotta let them know need to move this car or else we penalized, just gonna have to send to auction by Monday if it doesn’t sell.
Break down of Drive off fees:
First payment [$329]
Acq fee: [$1,095]
Doc Fee: [$459]
Lic, plates, taxes: [$267]
TOTAL DUE: [$2,150]
I feel like there could be $30 - $40 /mo. on the table still. But, I cannot get them to budge. I will try again. They are telling me they want to move this car and if they don’t close this by Monday they will auction. I am fairly sure they are strong arming me to close the deal, not that it is a terrible deal, but I wonder if I can try to shave off a bit more.
Has anyone heard anything about some business dept. and not the sales dept. to handle MSDs. Can I get a final answer on the MSDs before I go to the showroom?
And also do you think I have time/room to push for more savings? I am sure they are trying to move this car, but I don’t know if the manager just said those things to try and make me close the deal or if they will actually move the car Monday or next week if they do not close the deal.
Theres no way that cars going to the auction on Monday. If they have a deal on the table, they will rather wait to see. You still have a week for the month to end anyway. Most sales people dont have knowledge about MSDs. They probably meant Finance dept. But most importantly, they should be going to Finance and get that information for you. It shouldnt be the other way where they are making you run to the Finance dept otherwise they will send the car off. To me, that alone is a sign that yes there is more dough on the table.
@mani_is_kool I appreciate the quick reply. I know I have until 04/02 until the program ends. As much as I would like to close the deal, I do not want to rush the deal. I am actually waiting to get some Stelvio numbers as well and wanted to compare.
I actually put a refundable deposit down to hold. I am not sure if I should of done that, but I was haggling outside the Alfa dealership, so I was sort of rushed.
I will ask them again tomorrow about the Finance dept. getting me the MSD information before going to the showroom. I am wondering if I should be targeting Sales Price, MF or Acq. Fee to get some more off the table?
I was looking for C/E 300 loaners and a dealer had advertised the discounted price on their website (good % off). When I went in, they said MB has stopped leasing MY17s, which seemed a little strange having seen them discussed in this forum. Any truth to that?
The deal doesn’t seem that bad, but there is no reason to start a new thread about the same model. Don’t start another on a C-Class if you get a new quote. Keep it all in one thread
@BoardWalkNJ Sorry about that. I thought about continuing it in the previous thread, but alot of my questions there were prior to receiving the revised quote. My questions here are more related to attempting to close the deal. Next time I will keep it all in one.
