HOW TO GET THE ABSOLUTE BEST PRICE ON A VEHICLE!
If you're about to buy a new vehicle and have a tenth of the brain cells you had years back – you'll read this very carefully - because I want to tell you – NOTHING or no one has a better way of getting the best price - than this. Put down the joint for a minute and listen up.
As I wrote in a prior blog – the OINLY way to buy vehicles – is on-line. Why? The competition is just too – too strong for drive-in dealers to compete with. But this plan I came up with this morning – has it all over anything - anyone else could sell/tell you of. It is a masterpiece. Below is the email I sent around to 15 dealers within 100 miles of where we live. Emails are free and fast – as you know. Beats driving or calling all around - and it surely beats checking with only a couple of dealers.
My email:
Good Day:
On May 20th, 2008, I will be buying, in cash, a 2008 Ridgeline RTL with navigation - the sun roof, etc. We're 90% sure we will take a black one. Presently we are dealing with a particular dealer who has offered a very reasonable price. Due to having seen all of the options offered for the Ridgeline however - we will now be having them installed, prior to picking it up on the 20th of this month.
My reason for sending you this email - is to give you the chance to be the dealer/salesmen who gets this sale. How can you do that? Naturally - by giving us the best price NOW - via email only. No phone conversations (for now). Just your absolute rock bottom price on the above described (as your ONLY chance to get the sale) - yet with all of the options below - installed. Again keep in mind - we have a great deal at this time (not counting options) and have yet to get their new price with options - so you are truly in the running.
These are the options we want installed. In other words - we want ONLY ONE figure from you: the "OUT-THE-DOOR" price including tax, license, the works.

(TAKE NOTE) At this time we are unsure if this camera looks straight back so you can see if you're going to hit another car backing up. If the camera ONLY looks down at the trailer hitch (isn't able to be adjusted) than we will replace this option with the one below so you should give us a out the door price on both options independently (we don't want both. Just one).

Again: this was emailed to 15 dealers - thus opening the door to get the absolute lowest price around because only naturally – all dealers are desperate these days for sales. Though all of the dealers haven't yet responded – the several who have – have already beaten the local dealer by 1,800.00 – including adding all of the accessories. Something I never would have gotten – had I not sent this around. BUT – it gets better. By sending this email to one dealer – they're so desperate – they offer a lifetime warrantee on the drivetrain – over the existing 36,00/60 months. Which would you prefer?
So now I have a dealer who will MATCH the lowest price I can get ANYWHERE - and give a lifetime warrantee on the drive train? I mean – seriously – how much better can it get? All you have to do is create a similar “FORM” email - you will send to EVERY dealer of your type of vehicle – (by forwarding them - but being sure to erase the prior address of the one you sent it to which will appear in the top left corner of the email after hitting forward). They will receive your email – and give you their best out the door figure. This also does away with all the price dickering I hate - and gets right to the bottom of things. No harrasing phone calls. You could also copy and paste my email into yours – but naturally edit the words and lines that don't apply to your situation.
Seriously: There is no better way to get the best price than this. It works. Why? A) You've got at least 10 to 20 dealers bidding against EACH other – and being made to know that fact. B) They each want the sale. And just think of the best part of this. The money you save by using my brain storm – could be mailed to me to buy a new Lear Jet I'm looking at. Or....not. ;-)
