snsipped I think my method is easier and a lot less hassle. I call the same dealer than I've been dealing with for the past 24 years, tell him what I want, and when it comes in, he gives me a price that is $300 over his cost, I write him a check, and we're out the door, with him thanking me for the dozen or so referrals a year I've been sending him for the past 24 years. I've been buying cars from this particular dealership since '84 - & got paid for a referral at one point (a Toyota promotional thingy), so maybe at some point they'll do the same for me?! 'Twould be nice! (OTOH, it changed ownership at one point, so...) Cathy -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply) |
ask my opinion about cars, I always mention the dealership and ask them to
let the dealer know I sent them. That little bit of networking has paid off
in much reduced brain damage when I'm shopping for me ;-)
Get friendly with someone at the dealership where you buy your cars - they
will remember you!

I've owned a bunch of them and all BUT ONE have been good cars. The exception was a 1995 Toyota Cressida which had a lot of problems. The most prominent was the seemingly unavoidable failure of its valve guide seals. I recall waiting at a light for a few minutes. When it turned green and I took off, I would seldom see any cars behind me as they were completely hidden in the haze of my blue smoke. Other than that one POS, I like em'. jor Was the Tercel called the Cressida in Europe, or do you mean 1985...? |
available in the U.S.

Paid about 2200 less than sticker. |

they can discount the car 10% from the sticker, if they won't start there, walk away. "bjd" <bdowns (AT) one (DOT) net> wrote in message news:460c931f$0$17201$4c368faf (AT) roadrunner (DOT) com...

They would rather make a sale with little profit than no sale at all. Tell them what you're willing to pay & don't budge. Even if it means walking out & leaving them dangling. By the time you walk back in a few days to a week later, they'll be willing to meet your offer - or at least start to meet it. There is no way I'm willing to pay anything near MSRP. (Will probably have to kiss that notion good-bye if I decide on a Prius at some point...) |
that the limited number of carpool lane permits was used up, and no more
are going to be issued (unless the Toyota lobbyists spend a lot of
money). The only real reason to buy a Prius was for the carpool lane
privilege. Sales are way down.

six months. Also, it didn't have a locker or LSD, which were only
available after-market. 11 MPG city/13 highway. I sold it rather than
repair all the rust damage. There is a big market for the used Land
Cruisers of that vintage, I didn't even advertise it, someone knocked on
my door and asked if I'd be interested in selling it.

them here - NE, just small ones - or at least not paying *over* MSRP any
longer.) What's going to happen, price-wise, when the next generation of
the Prius comes out?
