The MSRP including destination fee is $14,100.00. The invoice they showed me said $13,395, which included a $10.00 fee for fuel and a $115.00 fee for advertising, but was otherwise consistent with Edmunds and Consumer Reports, which was for $13,270.00. Neither invoice included the $251.00 holdback, which they admitted to receiving from Toyota. I negotiated down to $13,495.00 - $100.00 over their invoice and $225.00 over Edmunds/Consumer Reports. I wanted to go $100.00 lower, but they wouldn't budge, so I walked.
In addition, we want to trade-in a '98 Dodge Caravan with a busted A/C. Kelley Blue Book says $1,212.00. After some negotiating, I got them to $1,200.00, but they want to charge me a $199.00 "administration fee," so effectively, I'm getting $1,001.00 for a trade-in for which I'm thinking I ought to be getting $211.00 more.
I haven't bought yet. Is this a good deal?
