what is a fair amount to request off/in addition to invoice when buying a brand new car.?

Answer 1

FIRST...

do your homework.
Get the price from the service department on all the extras you want on the car. NOT how much it would cost to install it. But how much the actual item is.

Then get the absolute base price of the car. Add your extras to the base amount and start your offer there. Ignore the sticker price. If they argue that it costs to install, tell em that's poppycock, since it's all done in-house....

Also, Consumer Reports give you the price the dealer pays for it and where to start your bargaining...but it costs $16...

How much you pay for a new car depends on how in demand the car you desire is currently. For instance, a new 2007 redesigned Infiniti G35 sedan that would probably be difficult to get near invoice right now - it's probably selling for near MSRP at this point. A year from now when the hype slows down, you could probably get it for invoice.

1).Do research. Know exactly what car you want and the options. 2). Go to www.edmunds.com and find out the invoice price for free.
3) Decide how far you want to travel to purchase your car then contact every internet manager via email within an acceptable radius. You can usually find a dealer locator on the car manufacturer website.
4) Tell the internet managers what car and options you are interested in and have them make an offer.
5) Have the various dealerships bid against each other to get the best price. ie "Dealer A offered the car for $XX. Can you beat that price?"

Remember to go for invoice not MSRP. Believe it or not, a dealership can sell you a new vehicle below invoice and still make a profit as they get "kickbacks" from the manufacturer for every car they sell.

Answer 3

never pay what is on the sticker..and also it depends on how you are going to pay for it and how much you are willing to pay down...Always go online and compare dealerships...Go to nada.com click under comsumer and see what the vehicle is actually worth...good luck...
