Hey everyone! Hope youâre doing well
First time ever posting here! I think I definitely could have done a bit better as far as the discount off msrp. I know I still have a lot to learn & will definitely apply it & learn from my mistakes for next time! Everything else seems to be ok, I hope?
The $752 DAS was just the first months payment + plates/registration.
Please, tell me how I did & if this deal was at least decent. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Give me tips & tricks on how I can do better next time! Thank you all!
What was more questionable was choosing to lease in a segment thatâs terrible for leases. In this segment you can essentially pay off a car using the payments of two successive leases.
Thank you, Max, truly. Youâve helped me since I first found this forum & I appreciate you taking time out of your day to answer all of my questions & teach me things I had ZERO idea about. Overall, Iâm proud of myself for doing this by myself. Iâm such pushover & never stand up for myself, I know itâs horrible & Iâm getting better, so it was a huge step for me to even TRY negotiating. I stood my ground even though they were really rude to me. I know they didnât like me for questioning as much as I did, especially being a female.
The very first offer I received was $500/month I knew something was very wrong & that they were bullish*tting me. If I didnât question it, I would have been paying that! Could you even imagine!? Iâm going to keep learning so I can do even better next time! Thank you Max!
Honestly you did really well for a first timer! My first attempt was a complete fail. So you did a lot better than me at that stage of the journey. Youâll do even better each time. In the meantime enjoy the new ride!
One last thing â Throughout negotiating, each & every dealership kept saying âHow do you know all this? Where are you getting your numbers???â
They were SO confused because I knew the RV & MF & the terms & was asking very good questions instead of just agreeing with what they were telling me. One dealership literally told me, âIâm surprised a girl knows all of thisâ & another asked if I wanted a job LOL
So I have all of you to thank. It made me really happy to stump them & make educated decisions instead of just going along on the sh*tty ride they try taking people on
Oh my gosh, thank you! Thank you for saying that This whole thing had my anxiety at an all time high. I hate confrontation & negotiating. Iâm so laid back, but I knew if I didnât try, Iâd get an awful deal!
My prior lease ended so I guess that would be a âtrade-inââŠthey put the old cars info in that area. I know itâs not the best time to lease, but for personal reasons that make sense for me right now, I am leasing once more & when this lease is over, I will buy!
Aww, you guys are making me feel so much better! Thank you so, so much for taking a look! I feel relief now. I didnât want to disappoint everyone here too much who has helped me over the past month & a half I appreciate you!
Thank you all!
