Have any of y’all taken advantage of this lately? Looking at a few fords and I’m hearing they are staying firm on price if I opt for 0%. How much can they actually wiggle down on price? I’m definitely not paying close to MSRP for a 2019 truck when sales are low.

You don't have to settle for a Ford. Good brands have 0% right now too.

Dodge is offering 0% for 84 months.

If by firm on price no more than 30% off MSRP, then yes. You have all the power right now in negotiations.

You can get a 30A sticker added for free if you agree to 1%

I haven’t seen any Ford dealers in my area offering 0%. If they are I will grab a new Lariat.

It's better to take the rebates and get financing through a credit union.

My CU is offering 1.99 and Penfed is 1.14 if you use them

I’d take the money and get low financing. I end paying most of my vehicles off in 3 years but finance for 60. Some of these vehicles you can get 10-15k and even as high as 20k off certain times of the year.

I was offered ~11k off msrp with 0% financing. This was on a new Dodge Ram Limited,so the total price came to 60k.

Without the 0%, they would've given an extra 5k or so in rebates. But the 0% for 84 months made the total paid lower than this extra rebate amount.



Edit: I didn't buy though. They'll go lower.

I haven’t bought a vehicle in a long time. What’s the general rule of thumb on price off of MSRP?

With NOBODY buying cars and trucks right now, dealers are taking it in the shorts and are desperate to sell something off the lot.

Do your research, find all the rebates and dealer incentives, plus the vehicle cost. Deduct the rebates and incentives, then offer about $10k below that and tell them that's with 0% financing. Doesn't matter how many months. It doesn't cost you a dime. If they tell you they can only offer 3%, tell them your offer just dropped another $3k.

Right now, the buyer has every leverage and the dealers have none.

ps: don't buy the extended warranty.

If you get 0% financing, or even sub 2%, you want to stretch that bitch out as much as you can. That is essentially free money that will cheapen due to inflation.

I pay cash for my vehicles solely because I refuse to pay insurance companies a dime more than I’m forced to.

There was a pick jump in Sticker Price about three years ago by the Big Three.
Example: A four door XLT Ford 150 is high $40k MSRP
Therefore the dealers could act like they were giving their victims more off per sale.

I haven’t financed a vehicle for a long time, with zero percent along with the algebra of financing incentives may make it a better deal to finance.

Someone in my family bought a ‘20 GMC Denali XL that stickered at $70k for $56k cash last week.

I think that’s a fair deal on that vehicle in today’s market.

One thing to factor in is that most (if not all) auto production is stopped.

What the dealers have in-stock is all they’ll see for a while (unless they swap with another dealer).

Huh? You need to explain this, please.

Do you think you insurance cost more because its financed?

No, but if financed, your lender requires you to have full coverage.

If paid for, just minimum liability the government requires. I f’ing hate insurance companies.
