haggling tactics

So I called Suburban Troy which is in the Troy Motor Mall near 15 mile and Coolidge and they only had a Blue Slate 6MT. Being insistent on wanting Obsidian Black I called Suburban Infiniti of Novi which is like 30 minutes West of me - and Boom they had a Black on Black, FULLY LOADED - im talkin u cant really add anything else to the car G37-S, 6MT.....So I chose Suburban Novi and yes I got them to lower the 45.5k that the sticker said down to 43K flat which was nice. You could see it as Tax+$500 being paid for, or getting Navi and the Spolier free. Either way being a new car it was a great deal. I made them throw in 3 Free Oil Change vouchers as well, nice!

Here are the secrets:
Talk to to the dealer and take breaks on your cell phone as if you are calling other dealers (like Ann Arbor or Troy) and striking a better deal with them. That freaks them out more - and say that if you get the most possible off your sticker (like 3-4K off) that you will leave with the car - but don't sign anything until you're ready.

Now the tactic worked for me - and also I showed them a check written $12k right there for the down payment with the Pay to Order line empty and I told them that I would write it to one of the other dealers easily if they go lower, when really in my head it was all reverse psychology cause Troy had the Black on Black Fully Loaded 6MT I wanted. Even when they talk to Chase or whoever about the finance interest rate - you can have them haggle with Chase for a better rate. They first told me Chase said 6.50% which was pretty whack so I had them haggle Chase more to get 5.8% which is halfway decent. I plan on paying it off in 2-3 yrs by paying in double every payment and chipping away at the principal loan.

Those were my haggle tactics and while the savings weren't huge - they are substantial considering that it's a new car, in pretty high demand, and limited in quanitities.


Anyways if you are serious about buying in the Detroit area, Private Message or AIM me because I have my Sales Guy's card and the Finance Lady's information - I can give it to you. My sales guy was cool- he wasnt gimmicky or cheesy he was to the point and understands that we know what is under the hood, have seen it on the Motor Trend cover, and have YouTubed the car's features already haha. His name was John at Suburban Infiniti Novi.

I love the tactics but too bad I can't use it here in Guam. Why?, because we only have ONE Infiniti/Nissan dealership.
So here's what I'm planning on doing.
I'll "pretend" that I'm also speaking to a BMW dealer (also ONE on island) about a 335i (but my mind is set on the G). Tell them that my decision will be about whoever gives me the best deal. Being from Guam, I'll be happy to get MSRP.
Wish me luck
