So when going through Costco no dealers in JAX will sell at MSRP?
I had just beat it at the end of December then I decided I wanted Dune Brown seats and thus had to pay the increase while also losing the illuminated scuff plates smh.
Ergo why I used all my investigative skills to find alternative dealerships. Jax dealers wanted to tack on between $5k-&10k in 2019. It looks like they have come down a little since then. Just $5k-$8k this year. They were willing to negotiate but, it would still be above MSRP. Forced profit above their invoice price.
Yes they are. They try to sell you GAP insurance.
Welcome, and enjoy the car. But, with all due respect, I think my heart just stopped. That is a lot for an EX, even with the premium and nightfall packages.
Yikes….instantly under water
depends... if they're planning to keep this for the long haul, then one could argue the stress of not having to continue to look or wait is worth the price. Personally, I wouldn't pay those kind of markups but to each their own. Everyone has different situations and for someone who needs or wants the car it could make sense.
Yep...driving this to the ground and financially, we are ok with the price and its within our means. We are paying down like 25k on the car this month.
Can’t speak to your situation and how badly you want / need the car but other people here have regretted paying over sticker after a few months. My personal opinion is, if you’re keeping it for a while then it could be worth it. I had a limit in my head of 2-3 k over is the most I was willing to pay. I don’t think there a right or wrong answer here. Just what makes sense for you
Agreed. If you can afford it and know the price going in, no need to complain.
So I was thinking 2-3 but then I go am I really going to miss out on this for 2k? Ugh
well originally i wasn't willing to pay anything over sticker and that was a personal choice. My thinking was if I could get sticker, why would I pay more. We ordered in August and the dealer had said 3-4 months. When we called in November, he said it was going to be more like 6 months. I spoke to the GM and he said def not getting it before March at which point I placed an order with i25 and decided that i'll pay the 2k-ish shipping because at least I would get the car sooner. Im glad I did because I called recently and now they're saying May. Realistically, I'm going to cancel my order once my other order is on the way. We have a baby on the way and are planning to move to the suburbs so definitely need a car now. Point is, you can easily justify any cost but as circumstances change so does your price tolerance. If you told me back in June when we first started looking at cars, I would pay over sticker I would have told you that you're out of your mind. Now, here we are 6 months later and we're essentially paying over sticker and Im ok with it. As someone said, if you can afford it and are set on this car then go for it but don't stretch yourself too thin because youre just being impatient.
