Hi all. I've been shopping for the ole lady to buy a new car. Today at Fairfax Hyundai in Virginia I ran across a deal that almost made me buy, but the wife doesn't like it. She wants a Lexus.

Anyway, it was a 2006 with 13500 miles. It looked like new, all the fluids were super clean. It was cheap because it was a "buy back" under lemon law for an airbag light (I saw the carfax.) The airbag issue has been resolved, all lights appear to work normally, and I could detect no flaws with the car other than some minor cosmetic imperfections. It comes with the 5 year/ 60K warranty, and extended warranty was available.

The price was $11,995. I might go back there with my credit card, but it would be totally decadent.

Moral of the story: Shop around for the best car deal, I found plenty of cars that I would just love to buy, but it's not for me.

 

Hey ,
I am looking at this car online. I emailed them and they want to play games.
I am too far to just drive over and talk to them. Do you know who you talked to? Was this price through negotiations or is it what they offered you without much working at it? Just trying to get a handle on what I might be able to get the car for. I hate playing the games.
They have it at 14995.
Offered me 1k off which is still 2k more than what they offered you.
Thanks

 

Sounds like they are playing games. Make sure you call the "Used Car" department, and ask for Carlos. It was a manager's special. I went back again with the wife, and was signing papers when the wife says "I don't want it", so we left. Wife only wants a black Lexus ES330. $11.995 was without negotiations.

Carlos even called me back on Monday and offered $11,500.

I got a great deal on a wife too, I'll pay you. Let me know.

 

Man, that's funny...
Carlos is the one that I have been emailing with.
I got the 1k off offer, then emailed him back. Said I didn't want to play the games.
He said he appreciated that and then came down to 12.5. Better, but not 11,995 and definately not 11,500.
Maybe it was the wife factor!

 

It's a jungle out there. Keep jerking their chains, they'll come down.

 

Going to look at it tomorrow morning.
Don't think I made any friends with the negotiating.
Oh well...

 

Tuck fhem. They'll respect you for hammering them.

Maybe they liked my credit.

 

Well...done deal.
Thanks for your help.

 

Alright, good for you. Good luck with it. I liked it a lot, and really wanted it myself. Oh well, my junk Elantra will just have to do...
