How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
Question From Ted: I am trying to find the best deal in my area on a 09 Chevy Traverse LT1 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A). My zip code in 39466. Would be willing to travel up to 100miles for the right deal.
Queen of the Road: Hi Ted. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
The best option for you to see the best prices in your area is to send a Braggle to all the Chevy dealerships within 100 mile range of your hometown in Mississippi. A Braggle is an anonymous offer to a dealership. Also, it’s important that you know what KIND of deal you’d like. Do you want lowest price or biggest discount? We have 2 pages of LT 2WD deals tht you can browse through. I wrote some instructions below the incentives on how to find these deals and how to submit a Braggle.
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Traverse,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 5.88%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 13.15%
Consumer Cash Incentives: A Cash Back Rebate of $750 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase. $750 Customer Bonus Cash is available to USAA members on purchase of eligibile vehicles. Maybe be combined with other offers. Please see your local dealer for details. Offer Expires: 12/31/2009
A Cash Back Rebate of $1,500 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase. Owner Appreciation program is available to consumers who currently own or lease any Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, HUMMER, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, GMC, or Saturn passenger car or truck. Trade in not required. This offer can be transferred to individuals residing in the same household. Please see your dealer for details. Offer Expires: 7/6/2009
The best way to find out the price for a new car is to use the AutoBrag Car Price Search Engine.
The First Step: Open a new browser window and go to http://www.autobrag.com/#SearchCarPrices then select the appropriate Year, Make and Vehicle Model of the new car price you are searching for.
The Second Step: Choose which mode to display new car prices.
On the left hand side there are five selections on how you want the new car prices to display: Lowest Price, Best Value, Biggest Discount, Accepted Braggles and Countered Braggles.
The first selection is Lowest Price. New car prices are displayed according to the lowest price.
The second selection is Best Value. In this mode, new car prices are displayed according to percentage off of MSRP also referred to as “discount off of sticker price”.
The third selection is Biggest Discount. In this mode, new car prices are sorted by the biggest total dollar savings amount. Keep in mind this is not the same as largest percentage off MSRP.
The fourth selection is Accepted Braggles. These prices are derived from AutoBrag users who submitted buy offers through the Braggle System For New Cars and had their offers accepted by dealerships. This information is exclusive to AutoBrag and will save you thousands of dollars and hours of time.
The final selection is Countered Braggles. These prices are dealership counter-offer prices to Braggles submitted by AutoBrag users. This information gives new car buyers an idea on what dealerships are looking for from a pricing standpoint when car shoppers submit Braggles.
The FINAL STEP: Once you know what you should paying… utilize the Braggle System For New Cars on http://www.autobrag.com/ to decide which dealership to purchase from.
The Braggle system enables new car shoppers to negotiate the lowest new car prices by making anonymous offers to local dealerships simultaneously with just a few clicks. Dealerships compete, buyers win, and best of all it’s free for both dealers and shoppers of new cars.
Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
