What you can do when you see a particular model is to compare MSRP with the MSRP deals in www.AutoBrag.com. Or you can simply run it by us and well look to find a deal in comparison to that model. You can also calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP - Invoice Price = X / MSRP = Y (move the decimal point over two and that’s the percentage you’re saving. Compare the savings to AutoBrag’s 2009 Camry discount percentages…

If you’d like to use one of the deals above…

How do I use these deals at my local dealerships? 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 or any Sales Rep., 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. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Here’s a good car buying article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process. Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Follow Up Comment: WOW Thank you for your help!

I can’t believe you’re helping the likes of me when there are so many of us asking for help. I can’t imagine how you can afford the time and effort, but i’m sure i speak for most of us - we are grateful.

Thank you,

Sincerely

Yuniverse

Question From Shlomo: Hi, i have been offered a 2005 accord lx with 36000 miles from a private party. Car is in excellent condition besides for a small crack in the left back bumper.The price is 11,200. I have also been offered a 2007 chevy impala basic model with 20,000 miles for $11,000. Which would you recommend. Thanks

Follow Up Comment:  Hi and thanks for the response. The accord is a 4cy 4 door automatic. The impala is a ls v6. I was wondering if over the long term i would have less problems with the accord. Thanks.

Queen of the Road: Hi there and welcome to AutoBragBlog! It looks like $11,200 for the Honda is a good deal because it’s being offered at a wholesale price. Buying from private party is majority of the time less expensive.

For a 2005 Honda Accord 4C Sedan LX Auto with 36,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $11,700 (being in above average condition) to $10,200 (being in average condition) and $8,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $9.8k to $13k. In this case, the seller is aiming real high. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Be sure to check carfax on both cars and do plenty of research on the history of each vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.

About the Impala, just to clarify, which basic model is it: LT 3.5L, LT 3.9L or LTZ?

Question From Linda: Hi

I am interested in buying one of the following cars, it just depends on
the price I can get it for:
2008 or 2009
New Honda Ciivic
Ex or LX
Automatic
4 door
I would like the polished metal metallic color (it is the very dark
gray charcoal color)

There is one dealership close to me, Space Coast Honda, that has an EX
like I described and they will only go down to $19,800. Do you think I
can do better?

They also have an LX model like the one I want, and it has a very small
fin onthe back trunk, and it has some wheels on it that look like they
came from a 2008 model. But I would like to know how much I should be
paying for an LX 2009 wth the specifics that I listed above?

I have a 2005 Honda Civic EX Special Edition in the gray metallic color
they offered back then. It has 36, 500 miles and it is in perfect
condition. No dents, dings or scratches. It will be needing tires very
soon. The interior is also in perfect conditon with no smoking or other
smells.How much do you think I should except as a trade in if I buy a
new honda civic, and how much should I accept if I sell it myself?

Thank you for any advice you can give me!! I just don’t know who to
trust!!

Linda
