based on the sticker, down, and monthly, i think you got **** raped.

 

Dude, you got ****ed Your sale price should be 37,000 at least...maybe 41 OTD but could haggle for less... you lost out man

 

whos getting a G for 37,000? Id like to shake their hand for their negotiating expertise.

 

According to Edmunds Invoice is $38.6k, MSRP ~$42k.

I doubt you could get this for $37k unless they are selling at a deep discount. HighMike just likes beating up on people and the price they got

That aside, lemme see if we can work backwards and guess what you paid...because I'm bored.

If you paid invoice price of $38.6k, then your monthly payment would be:

$548 per month. With tax of 8.25% that works out to be about $600 per month.

That means what you paid is somewhere between invoice and MSRP.

Using the auto calculator on bankrate.com to get your monthly payment of $619 gives me a loan amount of:

$34,550. (how much you borrowed)

That means you paid in total $42,550 for your car including tax and license out the door. Yay for math and working backwards.

More than this, it's hard to tell if you got ripped off or not depending on your local taxes...if you had a tax rate of 8.25% then you're looking at a sale price on the car of about $39.3k, which is about $700 over invoice. Not great but not horrible as some say either.

You come out better if the tax in your area is higher than 8.25, and you come out worse off if your tax is lower than that figure. I may have messed up the math somewhere but I think this could be close...

DOMO

 

i'll look through the papers 2morrow and get the prices

 

wow i didnt know you could get a car under invoice price i wouldnt think the dealership would make any money i thought anything near invoice would be good

 

If the calculations are correct, you paid ~$700 over invoice. I wouldn't classify that as being raped like some have said. That being said, you can get under invoice depending on your area, negotiation skills, and how desperate they are to sell the vehicle you want.

Still, I doubt that there are people that would sell your car config at this time for $1600 under invoice unless you're holding their children hostage or something...

 

first car on your own or something...?

 

Dude, at this point. You should be paying no higher than 37,500 for sports + prem pkg on a g37 journey.

All quotes in the phx and chicago area have been mid 37's with no NEGOTIATION.

 

I guess your right if your only getting the sports and premium package.

 

threw up on my keyboard

 

Mike, what should I be paying for a G37 S with NAVI, PREM, SPOILER, and all the small options? In your opinion. If the dealer doesn't have the car on the lot. Meaning they have to find the car and transport it to their dealership. It seems like the buyer loses a little negotiating power then, am I right?

 

I just checked NADA and the invoice for the car I am getting is $39296. I have got the dealership to $39900. I don't think this is a bad deal, but would love to pay less! Any thoughts...

 

Where do you live? You should be able to hit the mid 38,000s

Never, NEVER have them transport a vehicle.

 

I live in Pensacola, FL. Why not let them transfer? They aren't careful with 'em or what? I will call and tell them I got a better deal and will they match it. Thanks for any advice!
