re: How much can you negotiate off MSRP?

Too many variable and not enough info to give any good advice. I can tell when we bought my wife's Acura a couple years ago, the MSRP on it was like $42,000 and we got it for about $32,000, so that was a 25% drop in price. But it was also during the model year switch over and they were trying to dump all the old models.

And they will get it....once you tell them after you've negotiated.

Use your brain, don't you think they'll be more incentive for the dealership to sell their car if they know they're getting one back on a trade? You're tying a hand around your back and dragging out the process. shite like that is why people spend 3 hours at a dealership.

Lol not anymore thank God.

I bought a new Sierra SLE in Feb. They came off about 9500 off sticker.

I have the same truck but went with the 3.0L Diesel... The best decision I've ever made (so far anyway). I love this truck. 9k off is what I ended up with. I had a lot of equity in my 2 trades too, so a good deal was done in my opinion.

You guys get off MSRP? I thought you were supposed to tip them on top of that

Check price vs Laura GMC, if its close you're working a good deal.

You should be able to get 12,500, preferably 15000 off on a truck in that price range. Use cars.com, autotrader, etc to look around the US and find the dealers giving the best price. Then negotiate local dealers from there, then hit regional delears you would make the drive to. Play them against each other and look for the dealer with multiple models of the same truck in stock. Don’t be afraid to keep hitting the sales guys up. Let them know you are serious but you want a deal that way they know they have you in their pocket if they need a sale. To get the absolute best price you have to kind of get lucky and hit when they feel they need to sell a vehicle to get incentive money. Losing a couple thousand on a vehicle can mean making it up ten fold.

Gotta love all these "expert car buyers" in these threads that pop up from time to time. Auto dealers sell thousands of cars but these old baws always get the best of them every four years or so.

A trick I always use is when you think you got them as low as they will go you ask them to make it the drive out price. Always settle on the drive out price before you hit the finance department. This way they can’t add any mysterious fees and costs.
