Plus it's a leftover model year, but they want me to eat almost all the depreciation to take it off their lot.
I've made an offer that is more than fair, the dealer is trying to play hardball and refusing to budge on the price at all. I'm in a county that is a mix of post-industrialized wasteland and rural farms. There are very few around here who could realistically afford the car, and clearly none are willing to buy it. The car has sat on their lot for over a year now, proving my point. I've made a pretty generous offer. I want the car, but I'm not going to be stupid about it and over pay. That's not in my nature.
If this impasse can't be bridged, I go back to the "buy an in stock GC vs. custom ordering a 370Z and waiting God knows how long" debate. |
I'm in Md, and when I bought my 08 Evo, I called one dealer and it turned out the price was "mistakenly" 1000 lower than it was supposed to be. I then backed out of the deal and the salesmen had the nerve to call me and leave me a message saying that because the car was being purchased in my Father's name that I wasn't going to be able to get the 0% that was being offered, he then said "so good luck getting a car my friend" ... he had called my Father and told him the same thing.
I then called him back and said... excuse me, why don't you clear this up a little more. Basically he had called Mitsubishi and told them it was in my Father's name so I wouldn't be able to get the 0% interest due to it being what is called a straw purchase.
I laughed and said Chris... I guarantee you that I will get 0% interest on this car... and he says " well well, how are you going to do that"? and then I said, BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS FILTHY FU*KING RICH YOU MORON" ... literally yelling it into the phone.
I said all that to say this.. I, being in Md, went all the way to Chicago to get my Evo... that I got OTD for under invoice.
I also told the salesmen that I wouldn't be forgetting him and i'd see him sometime lol.
So hell, go out of state if you have to.
