Guest Mattivi Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 CJ, need a little advice/tips on how to work down the price of a used truck. Truck is a Toyota Tundra at Lexus of Kendall and is going for around 18k. Im really not trying to spend much more than 16k, and i was wondering if it is possible to get down closer to that figure. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lyrik Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Seems doable..stay firm, make sure they have your phone number, tell them that is your price (today) take it or leave it. They don't budge..walk. Usually they come running after you or call you back right away. I've even had a guy try to be tougher...he still ended up calling us back 2 days later and then we got for about $1500 less than our first offer.Whats the blue book?

V. Barbarino Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Some advice for you. First rule of negotiating a price, be prepared to walk away. It's not an impulse buy, it's not a fuck it only a few more payments buy, it's not a I deserve this truck kind of buy, you pay what you want to pay, if they won't match your price, then walk away! Many other Tundra trucks out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr.miami Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 You paying in a lot of cash? What I would recommend you do is tell them you want to pay 15000 for the truck and see what type of counter offers they give. Also did you check the kelly blue book value?

And if not...on to the next Tundra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Just whip out $15,000 in cold hard cash in front of the salesman and you might just get the truck for $14000.... I also recommend buying the Consumer Reports 'How To Buy A Used Car Guide'.. Several months ago I bought a new car for $200 above dealer invoice' which was close to $5000 below stick price. Consumer Reports will have all the info you'll need.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not having all the cash upfront really isn't that appealing to a dealership...they rather see you finance your life away, but regardless people should at least be able to haggle within 1-3k range at the very least.

all4tribal1414779019 Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 If the used truck price is 18k that means they took the truck in for 12k...u can probably get it for 14k lowest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dealer would rather have all the money up front then have a buyer default on the loan or financing... If its a ma and pa dealership maybe since they do their own in house financing and using their own money for it. However, if its a bigger dealership they are going through a bank to get the car financed for you. In this situation they are getting paid from the bank automatically and in most cases are making extra money every month from the increase in an interest rate. When a dealership gets the financing completed for you, they call upon several banks to see whats rates are going to be offered to you based on your credit. From that point, they will usually add anywhere from .5%-2% onto the rate when they advise you what they can get you financed at. This situation is a win win for the dealership as they are getting paid full price from the bank upfront and also making that additional money from the increase in the interest rate on a monthly basis. If the financing is being done through a bank and a borrower defaults, the bank is the one that loses out, not the dealership as they have already been paid for the car from the bank.
