Hey guys,

Haven't posted in a while but looking to you for any tips on purchasing/negotiating a "fair" price for a new car.

My last two cars I purchased from a friend who worked in the industry so I really didn't have to negotiate much and deal with BS. But I'm no longer in contact with him (estranged??). Plus heard from friends of friends he works at Toyota now which is not something I would like to own \:\)

I've used online sites like unhaggle/car cost canada to get an idea of dealer cost/ect. and I got a quote from a dealership (waiting for another one).

So any advice would be appriciated.

tia

What's your quote? I only got $2500 off mine. Friend without me knowing bought the exact same car at another dealer, and also got $2500 off... but he had some free stuff thrown in for them messing up his delivery.

I got out the door quotes from 61-62k. But that's with some options that I didn't need/want.

I then only dealt with one dealership that was more responsive to my questions and seemed generally interested in having my business. So after a brief back and forth with pricing, final price was 58k out the door and that's with a trade-in. I think it came to around $3800 off in the end.

All of this was done via email too, so I had time to think and research before replying.

Delivery was supposed to be by end of Oct. but now is delayed to near end of Nov.
