Truck Shopping
I couldn’t find another category on the tapatalk app so I hope it’s ok here.
I’m looking for a new truck as my Durango lease ends. I’m looking for some tips to help me get the best price as I’m a terrible negotiator. Lol
2020 Silverado RST from the current dealership msrp $49365 and “on sale” for $41,865. I checked KBB for same truck speced almost identical and it has it set between $43,000-47,000. The dealerships i checked out yesterday had the lower models listed for $46,000 so obviously with the “RST” you get more truck for the money. I currently pay $586 for my leased Durango since I had bad equity on my previous car. So if I could finance for around that I wouldn’t mind but would love to be lower. I spoke to this same dealership that has the RST back in late April and they had me at $440 for a lease and 0 down and 12k a year to lease.
So if the truck is “on sale” for $41,000, and KBB says fair market is $43,000-47,000, would there be any way to talk them down if I were to finance? I feel like dealers have the edge right now, people are still buying cars but inventory is low because the production of these cars has been cut by 50%. Any help is appreciated.
Here’s a link to the truck and I’ve attached a screenshot of the KBB

Re: Truck Shopping
Your gonna have to know what the “sale” includes, most rebates are not the same for lease or buy. A lot of my family work at dealerships and you are correct, inventory is low and they are less willing to meet prices pre- COVID. On March 19 I bought my Silverado listed at $51, I was out the door under $40k with tax and no trade. There’s always opportunity to buy lower just depends how much patience and time you have

Re: Truck Shopping
In the world of the internet, I like to find a few vehicles that interest me. In your case, find a couple of different dealers with similar Silverados that have the options that you like and inquire through their website about their best prices. I've had a couple dealers compete with each other for my business.

After doing your research and coming in with a fair offer, always be ready to just get up and walk out if the dealer is playing hard ball.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Truck Shopping
Find out what all rebates and incentives are before you drive. Drive it. Ask if willing to show and sell at invoice minus any rebates and incentives.
Do this at end of month as dealers are trying to git quota’s with about a week left. Don’t buy say it’s more rhan you want to spend. If you don’t get a call back with in that week that is best price their willing to offer.
Make sure to look up invoice on line. Also check manufacturers website to learn all rebates.

For sure. Here's your exist conversation.
Thank you for your time and help showing us the Ford F150. Before we can make decision, we'll need some time to talk this over as well as our other options.
Smile, elbow-bump and politely exit.

Re: Truck Shopping
•I always start by getting the “real invoice” for
the vehicle I’m interested in driving off the lot.
-(“real invoice”: the invoice initiated from the
Manufacturer, not some Dealership‘s perverted
version—with their inanely overpriced add-ons.)
-{Knowing that I’ll never get to see the actual
Dealership’s costs/pricing-invoice (incurred from
their doing business with the Manufacturers—which
is the price from which they negotiate up from);
yet, by having the “real invoice“ in hand: it gives me
a good place to start negotiating down from.}
Back to your posted scenario:
•Once you have the “real invoice“ in hand, compare
it to the current on-sale price (include incentives).
-IMO: Although that $41,000 sale price is decent...
I’d definitely have to consider, especially at this
stage of the 2020 model year, of offering them no
more than $39,500.
-Of course you may wish to go lower;
TO WIT: YMMV.
