Dealer offers

[SolidusJ]

Went down to the chevy dealer to check out a colly and they offer me 17.5K as-is. I feel like it was a low ball offer but they admitted they just wanted it to draw more people to the dealer with the T so I couldn't be that mad. :giggle: So what are some offers you guy have been given?

I went to the Toyota dealer with my little brother He's looking to buy a Tundra...they offered me $15K for my rig.. I must admit the 2015 Toyota 4RUNNER TRD PRO was very nice & tempting :huh:

My wife has said that both employees of the dealership and the dealership have pressed her about selling the H3. I heard a number of 22k when the truck had about 100K miles. I didn't think that was bad for an 08 Alpha with that many miles. It does have the BA winch bumper/winch, Gobi, lights, BA two piece wheels and spare with 35" KM2 tires, Rocky Road RPP and all of the UCP and skids so lots of extra stuff. My wife loves her 3 though and has no interest in trading or selling it.

AGREE!
I don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but california is cutthroat. I can't stand 'em.

We had an extended warranty that has now run out. Our H3 likely won't be visiting a dealer much anymore either.

most employees get corporate sales pricing.... so with the added trade in, that would be a pretty attractive offer... however, there's nothing like a Hummer.

The other bit is it's harder to sell a modified vehicle, especially a modified 4x4 because the perception is they're used as 4x4s (weird, no?)

For walk-ins, they're offering low ball trade-in value against a MSRP price. Win-win for the dealer. Usually those offers are made as questions they can back out of, e.g. "What would you say if I could get you $XX for your rig?" If you take the bait, the offer will tighten up. I's be surprised if they'd let a salesman try to "play" an employee though. My wife worked for several dealers and they always used fixed employee discount policies and book trade-in values for employee purchases.

No big deal I rather not have car payments anyway.

I've grown so tired of the sales games; that I simply go in with a Costco negotiated price and start with a KBB "perfect" trade value - settling for a KBB "fair" trade in value.... most times, I'm in and out in 30 minutes (minus test drives and color/option choices)... what's interesting is (at least to me) sales people love it because where they could spend 8 hours haggling with me and get one car sale; they sell more cars and make more money because it happens so quickly.... in the last case (the Jeep), the gave us a couple hundred extra that we didn't negotiate for and the sales manager said "because you didn't waste my time" - I thought it was a nice gesture.

I just traded in my '09 Championship Edition, I got offers from $8,500 - $19,000. Too many games, way too annoying. I think I put 1,000 miles on it just looking for another car. Last place I went, I was happy with the sticker price of the car I wanted. I gave them the number I wanted for my trade, he negotiated $250 off that and I drove home in a new car. Now I might buy an H2 from the same place.

Amen. I got my first H3 in 2005 because a Jeep dealer's sleazy sales tactics pissed me off so bad I walked out...and saw the new Hummer dealer around the corner. Later that afternoon we were driving the new H3 home. But I think things are changing. When I drove almost 600 miles to Ogden UT to pick up my T, I pointed out that the one clear tire picture they sent me showed a new tire. The only one on the truck! The other three were down to the wear bars. The manager immediately had the parts man call a Toyo dealer cut the agreed price to cover full price of three new matching, mounted and balanced Toyos. That kind of thing on a used truck deal restores one faith in humanity.

Those are some good prices, just yesterday a dealer said they couldn't go more than 10,700 on mine. I'll keep it thank you.

I went and got another appraisal today from a used car dealer here in town.

$20,500 for an 09 Champ with 51k miles.

He said he'd write me a check...

I said no thanks.

I even showed him the ones on cars.com listed for 25k+ with more miles...

 

[Larry_Musgrave]

My 06 H3 with 149k miles and very good condition, base model with chrome was offered $6,600. I didn't trade it. I was looking at two different H2's that I would have went after if the trade was more like $8k.
