For those looking to get good information about what you should pay for your new Titan, go to kbb.com (kelly blue book). Click "build a car" on the left frame, and price out your Titan. Make sure you turn off any popup blocking software, as it is part of the site's engine for calculating prices. You should be able to find out exactly what invoice price is. Frankly, there's no reason to pay any more than 3-400 over invoice these days.

Thanks for that.

International Autosource also provides a very good pricing engine from Chrome Data go here click on the left "Vehicle Specification and Prices".

Wait for the new page and click on "Vehicle Pricing". You now have a link to Chrome Data. At the moment it defaults to 2003 set up the year for 2004 then click on the make you want to price. You now pick the model and style. Build the vehicle you want and it will give you invoice and MSRP pricing.

Frankly, you guys are going to crucify me for saying this because I sell them, but where do you get your numbers from? 3-400 above invoice!? If you don't like the Titan, just say so. I know I wouldn't walk around telling everyone my new truck is't worth even close to what they charge. Why not tell everyone it's a cheap piece of **** too? You guys are never happy. It's better in just about every way than the competiton, ALREADY COSTS LESS, and hold it's value MUCH BETTER and you're sying it's not worth what Nissan says it is? Come on. Get a good deal, but that figure is stupid. People that think that way are the reason a brand name loses value. If you're so cheap, why don't you go for the rebates of a domestic? Oh wait, it's because they aren't as good, they depreciate too fast and they start off over priced. Stop being silly and enjoy the Titan for the good truck it is. :gunz:

One more thing. Where do you plan on buying your new car? If dealers can't make any money on them, they won't be in business anymore. Starting to see how silly this is? Imagine if your boss or customers said that you weren't worth more than a few bucks an hour... Doesn't make sense does it? Gee, I wonder why all the American jobs are going to MEXICO?!?! Like that trend? Keep forcing lower profits. See how stupid that thinking is yet? So yes, I guess you could say that good ole' American greed is pissing me off a bit. It's only my livelyhood. Notice I never said to pay sticker. I just said it's WORTH sticker. I said get a good REALISTIC deal. I'm done. Filet me I guess. :gunz:

Points to ponder from 'both sides' of the issue!

The good stuff is that yes, it does pay to do your research on vehicle invoice prices etc. This gives you a baseline figure for negotiating. Remember, it IS up to the dealer whether or not to sell you a car.

As for the other side presented by our sales associate that posted. Yes, business have to make money make no mistake. However, you know as well as I do that there are quite a few dealerships out there that have a statement such as "If we are not making XXXX number of dollars off a cash deal then no sale...IF they have a trade-In then the number XXXX applies".

The bottom line is buying a car is a negotiation. If a dealer wants to be stubborn and not give you XXXX for your trade or not come down on the price, you as the consumer have the ability to go elsewhere.
Dealers on the other hand live and die by reputation. IF they want a good one, they evaluate the deal not only in terms of numbers but in terms of 'how many other people can this person bring me' or 'What is our sales target for this month overall and for this specific model" and "What incentives is coperate offering me to move XX number of XX vehicle" etc.

Bottom line, there are two sides to the game. To win the game, both sides will compromise to a 'solution'. IF a compromise can't or won't be made...end game...move on to another dealer or customer.

Also....don't even bring up 'RESALE VALUE' because that is a myth. Value is determined by what someone is willing to pay for something. Someone who trades in cars in three years or less always ends up on the bottom side of a 'Resale Value' so this isn't even a good point unless you plan to sell it yourself and you might get wholesale book in most cases. I will give you a perfect example: 99.5 Nissan Pathfinder w/89k - Full Service records and not a scratch with brand new rubber etc. KBB and all the others list the 'Wholesale Value' as $13,800 in my region. I literally had to pull teeth to get $11,500 for the vehicle
using it as a trade-in..(Best price between 4 different dealers)..Why? Dealer greed and thier so called 'Black Book'. Argue all you like, but facts are facts.

The whole buying process is a numbers game....make the numbers appealing to both sides and a car is sold.

yes the truck is worth msrp and i got my truck for what i would have paid for a domestic, except dodge, they give those away. i was used to getting invoice on other vehicles and i thought i should on this one to. i see where you are coming from i just went in thinking invoice and only walked away at 1800 under msrp. so i was quite bummed but life goes on. so everyone enjoy thier titan because the way i looked at it is i could not have bought a comparABLE VEHICLE ANY CHEAPER. but i still want my dam coin tray lol lol.

GezonMotors,

I don't think you're going to increase your business with that kind of talk! haha


OK, let's say 3-400 may be a little low. But honestly, why go through all the haggling for hours just to have me walk out on you. Now we've both waisted a lot of our time. Me not getting what I want; and you not making any money. I'd be much more happier if I can just walk in, say that I'm willing to pay 500 over invoice, you agree, we sign the papers, and we're done! I get the vehicle I want at what I consider a fair price, and you make a sale in about an hours time or so.
Maybe I don't understand the business from your side, but it just seems like it would be easy to me if that was a dealers philosophy. Or is that not "realistic"???

If jobs are "going to Mexico" and "dealers are going out of business" then maybe it's time to start looking at the business model...instead of looking for sympathy from the consumer.

Welcome to the world of capitalism... :)

I don't think 3-400 is a "bit low". I paid 500 over invoice, and I KNOW I could have done better, I just wasn't in the mood to play "a$$hole buyer". Also, the dealership has been very helpful, and I don't mind giving a bit for good help.

Gezon Motors,

Please anwer a couple questions for me. What is the dealer holdback or incentive from the factory for every unit sold? Is it 1-5% or is it a set dollar amount on each unit or does it depend on the model? So, with the factory incentive to the dealer if a dealer sells a car at invoice they are still making a profit, maybe not enough to cover all expenses but they don't sell every car at invoice either.

Also, why do sales people and sales managers play such games with buyers? It seems like they either hard sell with relentless tactics or soft sell with subtle and sometimes equally annoying tactics. If your trying to change the system start with your end and the consumer will follow like someone else recommended $500 over invoice, no other b.s. fee's. As it is now the consumer has had to learn the dealers system and play a negotiation game to get what they want.

As earlier stated a dealers not going to sell a car for less than he wants to and consumers shouldn't have to pay more than they want to.

Gezon Motors, I know your income is dependant on sales price above invoice, and I wish you the best of luck in your career.

For everyone else:

First, always know invoice price. Be aware, invoice is not REALLY the price that a dealer necessarily pays for a vehicle. Based on volume, customer satisfaction, sales manager's personal relationship with the district sales manager of the manufacturer, floor plan, etc., pricing is negotiable. Never assume that you'll going to get a vehicle BELOW invoice though. Unless you're buying a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, it probably isn't going to happen without some connections... Also, the dealer is making money with holdback, too. Nissan's is 2% of invoice, plus an additional 1% floorplan allowance.

There are plenty of sites to find invoice price out on. Also, a lot of manufacturer's sites are low listing it, too!

Take invoice and then add whatever you think is FAIR markup on the truck. IMHO $500 is MORE than enough. I usually shoot for $100 and negotiate from there. I refuse, and I mean absolutely REFUSE to pay more than $300 over invoice on a new vehicle. I haven't NOT bought a vehicle yet that I didn't want new.

Make an offer. The worst they can say is no. If they do, call another, and another, and another, and another dealer... If they ALL say no, make a different offer. Maybe $500 over, but a bed extender or whatever you deem acceptable.

A dealer could CARE LESS if you have cash or not. Period... As a matter of fact, they would MUCH rather you finance the vehicle than pay cash.

A common misconception about buying ANY vehicle from a dealership is that if you say it's a "cash" deal, the dealership is somehow going to think you're a God, must be loaded, and royally kiss your a$$. The opposite is true.

Unless you go to your bank, credit union, or whatever and get financing that was arranged by YOU not your dealer, you're dealer's making money off your financing unless you MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that they are not.

Dealers have relationships with banks or manufactures finance companies. Most of the time they will get a commission on the sale of the financing. It's usually between $50 - $100. THEN, they ALSO usually get a BIG commission based on the interest rate they get you to agree to. Never, and I mean NEVER accept the rate that the dealer's finance guy first states you got approved for from the bank. The ONLY exception to this is when the manufacture is running very low interest rates as an incentive. The dealership is adding to the interest rate that the bank approved you for. It is up to your state's laws that will dictate just HOW MUCH they can tack on to the rate. NMAC may approve you for 4.5%, yet your dealer will tell you that you were approved for 5.9%. Guess who gets the additional interest? Yup, YOUR DEALER. There's some formula that's used to determine just how much the bank gives them, but they make commission.

With the truck I just bought, for instance... I was told that I was approved through Nissan for 5.9%, which was their tier 1 rate (best) on the Titans right now due to no financing specials currently being run. I told them that I needed the "buy rate". They were not happy that I even understood that term, the sales manager got a little irritated, but I ended up with 4.04%. Umm, that makes a big difference...

Many of you guys make it too difficult to buy a vehicle. Sheesh. Just set a price you're willing to pay and tell the dealer what that price is. If they say no, try someone else... Don't make it harder than it is... Haggling back and forth with a sales manager is just ridiculous. Agree on a price. If you want an extended warranty, tell them you want it AT COST, but AFTER you get the vehicle price set. If they tell you that they don't make money on extended warranties, call their bluff, don't be afraid to tell them you know otherwise, and ask to see the finance guy's price sheet for the DEALER from the warranty provider. They'll more than likely say, "Well, we never do this, but we'll lose some money on it." Or, some BS like that... If you can't get it at cost, tack $100 on as profit. They either take the $100 or nothing... Their choice..

Also, if you are trading a vehicle in, before you even START to talk about the price of a new vehicle ask them for "ACV" of your trade. That's Actual Cash Value. THAT is the figure you can shop around for. Be prepared, it'll be a slap in the face, but like with everything else, it's NEGOTIABLE! The dealer originally told me ACV of my '02 Pathfinder was $16,900. I walked out of there with an ACV of $18,500.

*EDIT*
Oh, and one more thing... For the best price, buy from inventory and buy the last day or two of the month. That's not an old wive's tale. The last day of the month the dealership needs to file his sales report with the regional sales manager of the manufacturer... If they're behind on sales they're looking to move more units in a hurry... Plus, they're about to make another month's payment on the truck if they don't move it...

I don't like to play games.. I went to a fixed price dealer in Poway, CA. On Dec 19th they were giving $1000 off of MSRP. It is not my place to tell people how much profit they should make. I wanted the Titan. They had the right model, I was happy with the price, there was no negotiation, the floor manager went to KBB.com and showed me what my trade was worth and we were done. No finance room, no endless pleas for add-ons. All of the add-ons were presented by the sales dude and were deeply discounted from MSRP. I was introduced to the parts manager who gave me a discount card. I was introduced to the service guy. I left.. Simple as that. Is that worth 8 hours of high stress haggling and getting pissed off. Not for me! Could I have saved money, sure. I don't need aggravation in my life. I got a really nice Titan, they made a profit. They want to do business with me in the future and they show it.

That's my rant.

My way to buy a car.

Find out invoice for my options.

Find out List.

Decide what it "fair". Hell if it is a premium car it is worth a few extra.

Present this to the dealer and ask if he wants to sell the car.

(I have yet to have them say no.)

Sell trade in on your own.

If there is any problem, take the printed price back and say "You know if selling this car for that price is going to make you bankrupt, I guess I will have to see if xxxxx wants my money." Walk away! Make them stop you.

:clap: Excellent point. I guess I find this exceptionally interesting considering I just took a Principles of Investments exam an hour ago and am a Finance major. The more I learn about the economics of our market, the more I realize it only truly benefits those who take the time to learn it.

WOW, You do realize that beating up the salesman means getting thrown a beating back right? With some of the buying attitudes I hear here I can tell you 100% that you will NOT get the best deal from me if you try to play hard-***. You'll get a much better deal if you're civil and you actually know what a good deal is. $500 above would get you No Deal if you are a jerk to me. $400 over may get you a deal if you can be pleasant. Get it? But the thing I guess I didn't take into consideration is the fact that I don't treat customers like most salespeople do. And I have to give everyone the recognition that alot of the time buying a car sucks because of the games you have to play. So I appologize if I sounded like an assh#ole salesman. I get irritated because of the way that people treat the salesman on top of demanding a price that kills the profit that I get paid on. I wind up working for a small commission for 2 hours while some jerk abuses me by saying things like "If you don't want my money...so and so will!" etc. I know what Titans are going for in the area and I am going to make sure that you get as good or a little better deal than my compitition. I make a living on customer service. Trust me, I want you to trust me and come back to see my in the future. I want you to tell your friends to come see me. I just forget that soooo many salespeople give the ones like me a bad rap. I see where you all are coming from. Just realize that if you're getting a good deal and your salesperson is helpful, you'll get along great as long as there is a happy medium for both of you. Both sides have to agree for best results. It's amazing how enjoyable customers get the best care. I wash all my customers cars when I see them in for service, stuff like that. Not because I have to, but because I like them. I'll get to the end here, but the bottom line is that it's a hell of a truck. Most likely the best half ton out there. (the point could definitely be argued pretty easily) I say, DO find out what invoice is, but realize there are factors that can affect it so don't assume is exactly the amount you find online everytime. BUT, I think you're setting yourself up for an "all the dealer sees in you is a sale" type relationship than someone they like. Not that you need to buy their friendship. But there are perks for being an appreciated customer and not an un-realistic, beat up the salesman, hard to get along with type. If you get the typical slimy, fast talking slimy salesman...Beat him up!! lol. Just walk out of the dealership then. Just be realistic. Off like a prom dress...

Wow, I did not know sales men had feelings......:upsidedow IM just kidding! I personally dislike car sales men just due to their dishonesty.... You seem like a decient guy! What state do you live in? I would go to a dealership to be treated this way! The dealership i was going through makes me feel like a burden when ever i ask questions, like im bothering them!

well its official i got :banasex0r and i didnt like it. but i learned a lesson on how to buy my next car if i ever do. the only thing i did get was a good interest rate at 3.4 for 60 months which saved me a little. i got mine at the end of the month at 1800 under msrp and it was the only crew cab they had on the lot and it just came off the transport truck. i should have waited but i have been to other dealers and i didnt like how i was treated or the person that i went with. i thought i was doing the right thing but maybe not, i keep :boxing: myself up and ill never be happy when i here everyone else got great deals. i should go kick there *** at my dealer :gunz: maybe ill feel better :jester:, byt probably not. im reel conseus about money and that extra 1200-1500 i gave them will not leave my mind. thats a set of 20s :imwithstu but im 25 and im living and learning ill be more patient next time \.

well its official i got :banasex0r and i didnt like it. but i learned a lesson on how to buy my next car if i ever do. the only thing i did get was a good interest rate at 3.4 for 60 months which saved me a little. i got mine at the end of the month at 1800 under msrp and it was the only crew cab they had on the lot and it just came off the transport truck. i should have waited but i have been to other dealers and i didnt like how i was treated or the person that i went with. i thought i was doing the right thing but maybe not, i keep :boxing: myself up and ill never be happy when i here everyone else got great deals. i should go kick there *** at my dealer :gunz: maybe ill feel better :jester:, byt probably not. im reel conseus about money and that extra 1200-1500 i gave them will not leave my mind. thats a set of 20s :imwithstu but im 25 and im living and learning ill be more patient next time \.
Don't feel bad, I've been boned several times in the past too. No wonder no one likes car dealers, there's not one out there that won't :banasex0r if you don't know exactly what your doing.........and I would bet that includes our very own Gezonmotors.

Take it easy now...lol If I "boned" you, you'd never come back and see me. Now am I making money...or am I losing money. But I can tell you first hand that I don't like most car salesmen and if you put me in a room with them I'd be the first to find a way out or kill someone lol. It's a vicious circle out there. It isn't going to change any time soon, so do what you have to do. I understand where you all are coming from. But I have to admit, all these car salespeople you are talking about are the ones that make me embarrased to tell people what I do. Take care and as always, feel free to ask questions. If I can help, I will. Good luck buying all those Titans!

thanks jet i knew they :banasex0r me but i blame ford for that shity truck i had to get rid of in a hurry :jester: ford :futwice: and ill see you in court for forcing me to make a bad decision to fast :informati. :jester: i really would like to thank everyone here for good info and hope that i can provide info that helps someone. most dealers will and do :banasex0r you so dont anyone tell me they dont. the finance guy tried to stick it to me after i had been there 5 hours and i blew up and he knew he better back the hell up before i walked. he tried to bump my interest rate up a 1/2 point and i snapped. so i think a good dealer deserves 500-1000 over invoice depending on how they treat you. please everyone console me, lol lol :jester: cause im being a :crybaby:

Also, relax. That isn't a bad deal. I know most dealers around here won't do less than sticker on an order right now and ALOT of places in the country are selling them for sticker...no less. Depends on where you are, but I wouldn't call that boned necessarily. lol Make sure they treat you well or go elsewhere next time and make sure the next place knows why you left the last. They'll make sure not to make the same mistakes if they're smart!!

If I came back to see you, chances are you wouldn't be there anyway. Besides, why would I want to come back and see you??? If I have a problem my new best friend will be the service manager, now he/she is the one that can make or break the ownership experience....Car salesmen that stay more than a few months with one dealer are rare. Most everyone I've ever dealt with had only been there a few months and only doing it until they can get a better job. The reputation of the car salespeople is their own fault. While they're smiling and shaking your right hand, their left hand is digging in your wallet, low balling you on your trade-in, playing games with the price of the vehicle, interst rates, service plans, etc. etc. Now tell me that you've ever told anyone in the past that "they could do better if they held out a little longer"??? The only "rude" buyers are those who know better.......

Whoa, what does your therapist think about that? Just kidding... I am the newest there at about a year. most over ten years and four over 30 years. As I said, this isn't your typical dealership. Now let's realize that this attitude is the type of customer I don't want to deal with anyway. Can't we all just... get along? lol
