When buying a new car from a main dealer how much discount would you expect to get from the list price?

Answer 1

none, but you can haggle if you are part exchanging your old car

Answer 2

Dealers try to get as much money out of you as they can, so if you don't know how much that car costs the dealer, you're operating at a disadvantage. There are several online services that you can sign up for to find out exactly how much a dealer pays for a vehicle, like Consumer Reports (you can get a very detailed report that covers each make and model, and you can customize the report to add optional extras like a premium sound system, moon roof, custom rims, etc.) Once you're armed with that information, you should negotiate a price that's no more than $1,000.00 more than what the dealer paid for it. Actually, you should try to talk them down to $500.00 over dealer cost. Bear in mind, however, if you're buying a vehicle that's very popular (like a hybrid) you can expect to pay sticker price or more, depending on the demand.

Answer 3

Depends. If I've done business with the dealer for years, then he knows I expect deep discounts. My SUV listed for $36,000 and I paid $26,400 for it -- the dealer still made a heafty profit.

But if you walk in off the street and the dealer doesn't know you, you might expect to get a small percentage off the list price.

Answer 4

OK, i worked @ a VW, Audi dealership in NY....

& here's the inside scoop..

Technically when a customer asks for the Dealer Invoice, most non *** h**e dealers would glady show it 2 u. & an offer $500 More than Invoice cost is an acceptable offer for most dealers. especially if u have Great credit & willing 2 finance thru them.

u see dealers have very little mark up when it comes to the Car itself. they make their money on accessories & financing. . hat's y a factory stero would cost like $800+.



it works. .

Answer 5

always check ads for sales at all dealers. the closer you get to the end of the model year the bigger the discount. i saw an ad for 3500 off a 06 model. when i visit my local dealer i would expect to get at least that much. do some homework.

Answer 6

Depends what you;re buying. If it's a desirable model (eg the new Audi TT when it arrives) then none. If it's a bog standard motor then up to about 25%. one of the car mags (Top Gear i think) does a useful feature where their list of new car prices has the 'list price' and the 'target price' which is what they reckon you'll actually pay on a model by model basis....

Answer 7

Always go in saying you don't have a trade in and get the lowest price first without trade-in. Then go to another dealer and see how much they'll give you for the trade-in and back to the original dealer. I also heard Costco could find you the lowest price.

Answer 8

It depends on the time of day and month i think. You will get a bigger discount if you go towards the end of the day on the last day of the month. They are then eager to get a sale and get their commission so you have a little more negotiation. They want to get the sale in before the end of the month and you can say to them that you are going to leave it and then they wont get the sale.

Go for at least 20% they all negotiable.

Don't let them drive the bargain. You push them.

Especially if you are paying cash.
