Car Dealer Internet Pricing?
Posted on 9/11/14 at 1:15 pm
Posted on 9/11/14 at 1:15 pm
Anybody know if dealership internet pricing is negotiable?
I am looking to buy a Sierra SLE/SLT pretty soon and wanted to know if the prices listed on Autotrader or the individual GMC dealerships websites were end all prices.
I haven't walked on the lot yet so I have no clue what they are asking

Thanks for the reply.
I've been reading all the Will Cover threads and doing my research. Edmunds and True Car are quoting $5k to $10k higher than local dealers, so I was confused.

Anything is negotiable.
They will say they already discounted though and will be less open to negotiating

Yes they are. I just bought an SLE last month for way less than advertised.

I recently rode around shopping with my pop. He had very specific things he wanted in a vehicle... Color and certain options.
I pulled up the first ford dealer website that showed up when I googled ford dealer and Houston. This is what came up:
https://www.machaikford.com
The prices listed were significantly lower than BR prices. We found the car he wanted on the site and showed it to the salesman and asked if he could beat that price. The dude came within $250.00 of what we showed him on the corresponding car on his lot.
Not sure if we could have pressed him harder... Pops is bringing momma by to have a look this week.
This prolly isn't what you were asking but it is another tactic.
All you well-versed car negotiators, can pops beat them down more?

We price our's pretty low on the internet without much room to wiggle. We have to, bring in a town 20 minutes outside of Jackson to give people a reason to drive here. Usually, people don't negotiate much on them because it's already so much cheaper then anywhere else they've looked.

I would have no problem driving to a smaller dealer out of town to get a deal I was satisfied with. The dealership I went to had a certain price advertised on the internet and when I went in there to see what I could do on the price, and they had the truck I wanted with bucket seat not a bench, they came down a good bit lower than what was posted. I was very happy with the deal I got.

I guess the final price included the huge rebates on GM Trucks (Chevy / GMC) right now.

Here is 4lsu2's vehicle buying protocol: All you have to do is pick one out and simply tell them you are going to buy one today and ask if they are in the selling mood today. Tell them you aren't interested in any other bull shite but bottom line pricing. When they ask about a trade, tell them you are keeping your existing vehicle to pull that POS Ford back to them when it breaks down. This gets them to their selling price. Once they give you this price, tell them thank you and it appears they aren't in the selling mode today. Next, call another dealership after looking at their website and tell them the same thing about a particular unit on their lot. Give them the stock number and say you are about to buy one at such and such dealership and wanted to see if they cared about making a sell. Get their lowest price and compare it with the first offer. This is where it gets to be a hoot!!! Once you get the second price, tell both of them to piss up a rope. This eliminates the conversation of a trade in. When you get to the point of buying, go back and say you're ready and that particular price but decided to trade in. Now you're at your price on the new vehicle and have the trade as bargaining power. They will attempt to low ball the trade and make their money back from the new one. Walk away when they insult you on the trade and tell them the other dealership is offering you more money. I've made many a enemy doing this over the last month. Several salesmen have been told to eat a bag of dicks, piss up a rope, no way I'd buy here if this was the last place on earth, etc. In the end, I saved several thousand dollars both ways (new and trade in) and couldn't be happier. They are all wanting to screw you to tears to make their commission, but you are the gorilla with a chainsaw for a cock in this situation.

Some of this stuff is actually comical; Hit up Courtesy GMC-Buick in Lafayette. They are Louisiana's volume leader on the GMC side. They have a live rep on the internet. No need to go back and forth; easy stuff.

I recently bought my wife a Tahoe, and I emailed 3 or 4 different places in Texas - each one of them said the particular model listed on cars.com or autotrader was no longer available...but here is this one that we do have. So word to the wise - a lot of these offers are not legit and maybe never were - they just want to get the conversation started with you.
However, a few years back when purchasing a car, I did find one online in Texas (that was a real vehicle) and did negotiate it down off the "internet sales price"

From my experience. Recent purchase of three vehicles. They aren't likely to negotiate over the phone. However, the Internet pricing was more than a fair price.
I've noticed cars on interenet are priced lower than they are on the lot. My guess is that the Internet sales team is trying to move volume and isn't working on commision.

You must not be too good at the old smooth talks.

Email every dealership within a 10 mile radius.
But, make sure all are on one email, and CC each one, so they can see you emailed all of the others.
Simply put the model you want and a "happy bidding"
