cram Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Why walk around with that much cash anyway? Just do a bank draft or certified cheque. You don't want to pay an inflated price because they have to pass 2% on to visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhenrygsr Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) At least 2% fee to them on the card... with my low volume here selling aircraft parts... for CC acceptance I get nailed for 4.65 % on VISA cards and 4.76% on M/C. and why I try to get guys to do their payments by paypal, as that only costs me 2.3 or so. The world has gone to hell though Louis.... in the GOOD old days.. you could have pulled out a roll of cash to pay for it. Can't do that anymore either.... Yea it's crazy what the credit card companies are charging for a consumer to buy a product these days. Pretty much from anywhere other than a municipality/hospital etc.. same deal on you trying to get money out of the bank to do a cash deal. http://www.fintrac.gc.ca/publications/guid.../7b-eng.asp#333 I use to work at a casino and if you went over $9999.99 you automatically get entered into the FinTrac system for a LCTR (large Cash Transaction Record) There's also a LCDR (large Cash Dispersement Record) Both you might get questioned later in Life by our awesome Gov't. They also keep track of transactions of $2500 or more so if it does add up to more then $9999.99 you still get entered into Fintrac. Opps i think i wasn't suppose to talk about that lol Edited January 27, 2010 by Henry Nguyen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I could see the 2% on the purchase being an issue if you are apparently making $1000 profit on the sale as once the sales person gets his portion it doesn't leave much of a margin for the dealer. I hate dealing with the Dealer, especially for new vehicles. As far as dealerships go from a sales function there is almost no value add in the sale process to me since I can find all the info I need online. Car companies really need to rethink the sales channel for selling vehicles which could arguably lower prices for consumers and improve profit margins for the manufacturer. You can buy just about everything else in the world at Wal-mart why not cars? I'm just throwing out hypothetical's here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) You wont get them to budge much to be honest with you. The most they will budge is MAYBE 1000$. Your best bet is to say "This is my offer, I will leave my number with you and incase you change your mind you can give me a call". Your dreaming if you think they will take an offer like yours which is considerably less. You need to find yourself a private sale, and then wave the certified cheque in their face. Works much better in that scenario. Edited January 27, 2010 by Fish4Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 From a manufacturing point of view... they are getting parts/tooling cheaper with off shore sourcing... why are cars increasing in price every year? is a half ton pick up with some toys really worth 50gs new? no chance... i don't believe they're only makin a g on the vehicle... supply and demand i guess but the economy still hasn't recovered so take the sale when they can get it... as long as they aren't losing $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You'll get a call in a few days to see if you are still interested. Invoice price, MSRP etc... are misleading because dealers get breaks if they sell so many cars they get a couple of free ones.... Pretty much all retailers play that game now. Dealer list is meaningless. As a financial advisor, I'm obligated to report any suspicious transactions to FINTRAC. I can't take cash now even though it is Legal Tender with the new money laundering rules. Big brother is watching....... I think the ultimate goal is to eliminate paper money ie.cash and make everything electronic so the government can make sure they get their cut on every single transaction made and to eliminate money laundering for terrorist groups and the like.

fishnsled Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well I'm no expert on this but here's what I know from my last 2 trucks. My previous truck was bought through a dealership that my buddy works at. Was told the best price was $14,000, uncertified. My buddy did the safety and all was fine. Found out later that the guy who traded it in was given $9000 for the trade in. $5000 in profits less whatever administation cost were involved. I probably paid for them on top of the costs anyways. My next truck was on a lot for $22,900 I told them $17000 was all I had. After some dealing I was out the door for $17500 taxes in and a bedliner, fiberglass flat top, hitch and wiring. Thought I had a pretty good deal until my insurance came in a couple months later and showed the value of the truck at $12,900. So if I was in an accident that was a write off I'd be out almost 5G's in a couple months of ownership. Personally I wouldn't by the Bull from some of these dealerships, the insurance companies are a whole other story. From my experences there is a lot more room to play with if they want to. Just find a dealer that wants to play. Can you imagine going and droping $25G's to find out in a couple of months the truck is only worth 1/2 . I'm glad that guy wasn't me, only a 1/3 less in value of what I paid . I guess they deserve the name Stealerships that I've heard so many call them.

JohnF Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is the joy of the free enterprise system. The retailer is entitled to ask whatever they want. The consumer is entitled to say no and shop around for a better price. In most situations like this there is no obligation on the part of either participant to do the deal until they have signed a mutually agreed set of terms. So, If you don't like the retailer's terms, go elsewhere. But if that retailer has a unique product (i.e. one you can't live without) then you'd better be prepared to pay a premium. They call it supply and demand economics. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 In my last 7 years selling vehicles at the dealership I work at, this is what I've learned: - With every ad in the newspaper at dealer cost, there is little to no room for negotiating on a new vehicle - Financing is more attractive to the dealership (not the salesperson though) than cash, but it's rarely a bargaining chip either way - More profit is made on used cars, but the bulk of a dealership's revenue comes from the service dept. - If I don't make a commission, I don't get paid...selling ten cars a month for the minimum commission of $150 or $200 isn't going to pay the bills. So not every offer is acceptable. -****car cost Canada is a waste of time and money. Anyone can walk in to my office and ask to see the cost of any of our vehicles...there's nothing to hide. - there are a ridiculous amount of dishonest/unscrupulous dealers/salespeople out there..I truly don't know how they stay in business. But there ARE some good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once we all get together we should work out the driving deal, I was thinking about us all chipping in and renting a huge ecoline with 6 seats I think it should cost a few humdred extra but might be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aniceguy Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Dont get me wrong here I have bought dozens of cars over the years, usually I find the car determine its fair price, go to the dealer offer 10% below on a lease and move accordingly I have bought every single car within 20 minutes of a discussion. This go around with no leasing, its cheaper to pay cash for the darn thing, I guess i have some sticker shock.....I will say though that the car business is still in the dark ages with thier approach to direct sales...

POLLIWOGG Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Trucks are expensive at the auctions right now as most are going to the States, if they don't have many on the lot your not going to get lt for much less than they're asking.
