Question For AutoBrag: Negotiated Price

December 29th, 2009

 

Question: Is the negotiated price the total price, including destination charge?

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Great question.

The negotiated price is the selling price. The selling price is the price that the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. That’s the price BEFORE all those other fees are considered. Fees such as tax, registration, dealer fees, etc..

The destination charge usually means a line item on the window sticker of the car.  It is the cost of the manufacturer transporting the vehicle from the port or point of build to your local dealer. 




How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Honda Civic

December 1st, 2009

 

Question From Tom: How much should I pay for a Honda Civic 2009 LX 2 door? Thanks!

Queen of the Road: Hi Tom. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

 According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Civic,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 5.90%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 7.95%

Before you begin calling or visiting every dealership, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.

If you see a Civic online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll send you a price range to help you bargain. Below are a few of the best internet prices we’ve found.
