As for the XLE, the best deal with a savings of 8.59% off just sold and was taken off the web. All I currently have is one with a savings of 4.66% and that deal was rated a Thumbs Down. So the XLE deals aren’t looking good at the moment.
What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.
If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.
If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.
If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.
The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.
So now what? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.
If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. If you want to research more new car prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com.
Is there any other cars you’d like me to look into? Keep us posted with how everything goes!
