Several dealerships will not go to this price point but several will. Also, are you considering the doc fee as part of the "over invoice" price? Again, depending on the model you ar looking for, and the convenience of the store location, a total of 8 or 900 over invoice is not out of line. There is good sport to be had in looking for your best deal possible. At some point, squeaking out another 100 bucks of savings might not be worth it. Also, watch out for stuff you don't want or need. A really low price gets higher when you put dealer add ons into the pot. Finally, it might be worth a few hundred more if you can get mfg incentives to your liking. The finance rate through the end of the month is excellent, and will result in several thousand in savings over the life of the ownership. Under these circumstances, IMHO and depending on what you want, $500 over invoice and a reasonable doc fee is not out of line. Last thought -- make sure your "invoice" number includes all the features on the specific model you are considering. It is easy for buyers and sellers to be talking past one another. They think they are talking about the same thing and they are not. A good negotiating question is "help me understand your numbers." If they won't respond candidly to this question, move on to the next dealer.

It might be easier to get a better deal on an auto transmission.

Personally I wouldnt pay over Invoice + 500. If u look at this thread over at the Edmunds forums, u will find that invoice + 500 is pretty common and many guys have done better.

It depends on how much your time is worth and which state u reside in. Is 500-1000 dollars saved on purchase price worth ur time ? To us it was, so we shopped a LOT of dealers, even some out of state ones.

A lot of out south Florida dealers are TOTAL ripoffs but u do have a few that will give u a fair price. I actually managed to get Invoice + the 595 bank fee for a friend's lease.

The residual cannot be marked up by the dealer but the money factor charged was 0.0021 (only slightly higher than the base rate of 0.00205)

We got a 24 month lease with 12K miles (G37 Journey with premium) for 0 down, 458 a month inclusive of taxes. You can find more details in the following thread :

Good luck

Yes Taktix1, that indeed sounds like an AWESOME deal. All that free maintanence is definitely worth a lot more than 800 bucks. So u pretty much got it well below invoice. VERY VERY nice. Congratulations. I cant wait to get back from my vacation and get a G37 myself

My deal was as follows: +800 over invoice with no proc fee. However, they gave me free oil changes for the life of my car, 2 years of scheduled maintenance for free (includes 30k service), and free full detail of the car at 1 year. Overall I think I made out pretty well considering i was seriously strapped for time (i HAD to have a car by tuesday as I needed to get to work somehow) and also the 30k service alone is 6-700. However, I did find a deal that was +250 over invoice but the extra incentives at the other dealership made it a final to me. Let me know how everyone thinks I made out. Thanks!
