Need some buying feedback

Cheech

Whatever dealer you're using, they have you hooked. One rule to follow is, don't let them know how emotionally attached you are to the vehicle, they'll play you and you've just thrown any strong negotiating advantages out the window.

Like Daisuke149 said, "never pay msrp", really.... NEVER! Everything is negotiable.

I'm assuming you've gone into the dealership, ordered the car and given them a deposit. Because the purchase date is so far in the future, they've requested a larger deposit to ensure your commitment. If you've already discussed a price, then they're expecting you to pay it when the car comes in, not good for you if you're trying to haggle for a lower price.

If I were you;
1. negotiate now and get the final OTD price documented or,
2. back out of the deal, get your deposit back and go to another dealership when you're 2 to 4 weeks away from making the purchase.

This forum is a great place for information. I have visited it several times a day before and after my purchase. There is some excellent information in the "Stickys" and the forum sponsored dealerships will most likely give you a better price than what you have now.

Good luck, let us know how you make out.
