And that’s good for them. We have a choice, I explore all avenues and choose the best deal. I don’t rule out any options. I’d buy a car from my evil ex wife if it was the best deal.

They get kick backs from finance companies. Dealerships are ripoffs. Well they have 3 ways to make money. The truck The financing the warrenty Let them make it off the financing, then refinance thru your credit union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsky Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Purchased quite a few news cars over the years and dealers never seemed to have any issue heavily discounting a sales price without financing in play. In fact only one time did a dealer offer an additional $500 back if I financed. It was already the best price offered so I took it and paid it off within a couple of weeks. The $500 only turned out to be $425 after the dealer tacked on an additional financing fee for the dealership but it was still worth the additional hassle. Those days are long gone now that we have a massive new vehicle shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What ever happened to buying a truck that doesn't have a 5 or above as the first number in the price? My Tundra is a base model with 1 option package to give it a center console and some goodies; about a $2k package. $41k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It’s all about demand. Pickups are the hottest selling vehicle in North America. They get first dibs on all the high tech feature and creature comforts. It’s the only vehicle that transcends all the generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the shit they stick in these to justify the price is of no interest to me. Saw a Ram commercial last night and it was all about a 12 inch touch screen on the dash. WTF? Smh.

ActionfigureJoe Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I haven’t purchased a new car since 2014 and that was a Subaru Forester. I typically purchase cars from auction at wholesale. Lately the yards are pretty much picked over. Lots of shitty junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a sucker lined up thinking they just won one over on the bank. If I had a dollar for every time I was told on this forum to take the "free money" I'd have $18K in an inherited ROTH IRA! odd comment considering i have had a car financed less than 2 years in the last 20 but OK. Most people can't afford to pay cash and if it is a choice between a 5 year loan on a 5 year old car or 7 on a new one I'm taking the 7 everyday.

There are but people want all the latest gizmos, gadgets and creature comforts. Spec out a crew cab Silverado Custom Trail Boss with a 5.3 and you start out around $47k MSRP. That's a decent truck. A crew WT (work truck) 5.3 starts around $42k - good luck getting one right now The most popular trucks I see going out the doors are in the mid $60k+ range, because everyone wants the gizmos and niceties.

How are you 100% sure about the dealer cost part ? I have heard car salesmen spewing that bullshit before, I go down the road another 20 miles, and buy it for 2 grand cheaper. The second dealer must really like me. Man, covid is making people even more stupid than they were before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
