No matter how nice they are, or tell you how nice you look in the car!! Sorry salesmen, I know it's your job, but I never let them run the sale. I go in there with a price point and walk out if they won't meet it. They usually call back the next day with "...great news!"
lol!
You know what? I thought I got a pretty good deal until I came on this forum. I even feel like I could have done much better. I don't know what I would be doing right now if I had paid full MSRP on my SRT! I would be pi$$$$ed!!!! 40 grand? Ouch man! You could have purchased a car from out of state if need be and had it shipped. You might have had to wait a week and pay a small delivery fee, but I'm sure it would have still come in waaaayyyyyy under 40 grand.
That is what the dealer is telling me as recently as six weeks ago long after I bought my Crossfire. My deal is actually a little more complicated than that because I was trading in a new Crossfire that I had owned for only about 45 days. I saw one I liked better when I went in for my first oil change. You have heard the phrase that new car drops $10,000.00 when you drive it off the lot. That is true so to make the transaction work and to give me a good price on the one I was trading in, I basically had to pay retail for the next one. There was a $7000.00 price difference between the retail on the car I was trading in and the retail on the one I traded it for. So at the end of the day they gave me close to full retail on the one I traded in as well. I guess we were hosing each other.
