You usually don’t have the full details of the deal and why they were able to get the price they did. Maybe they got hosed on the trade-in or financed with questionable credit through the dealer. You might pay below invoice, yet still provide the dealer with big profit.Excellent stuff. I would definitely be curious about stats like these for other cars as well. It would’ve been useful to know when I bought mine last year. I did all of my research and paid $500 below invoice. Although I felt good about it, Perhaps I could’ve done better by knowing!
Too often we see people post stuff on the internet that is questionable, getting ridiculous discounts and such. It’s good to have some substance behind and beyond people proclaiming “I pAId 10k bElOw MsRP” on some random internet blog and having zero specifics behind it.
Then sometimes with stair step dealer cash incentives your sale might be worth thousands to the dealer as well (i.e. dealer has a certain sales objective on Silverados. if they sell 10 it’s $100 per, but if they sell more than 10 it’s $500/unit applied to the previous 10 as well. That dealer is going to give that last Silverado away to hit his sales objective) Best advice I can give is to try to buy at month end close and be ready to walk way from at any point in the sales process. Impulsiveness will cost you money.
