Just a quick share, since I didn’t see a lot of Ohio offers / buys when I was looking.
Vehicle stickered for $49k, I had Costco, Educator, and Conquest discounts for a total of $2500 off due to discounts.
Not anywhere near some of the crazy offers some states have, but at under $330 per month with 15k miles per year, I’m happy with it. Dealer experience was actually very good, which surprised me. Hyundai dealers were a pain in the butt to work with, this Chevy dealer was great.
My tactic – phone call and offer on the specific vehicle, using their lot number. I offered $8500 one-pay lease and they came back with $7900… never seen that before, not going to turn it down. Told the salesman I didn’t want it prepped, wanted to pick it up as it sat on the lot. Bottom line – 2 1/2 hours after my first phone call, I had the vehicle in my garage.
