Question: How much money should a dealership be making on a lease?

Queen of the Road: For new car dealerships the profits on a lease is still in money made on the price of the car.  What leases do is essentially let consumers buy a block of a car’s time.  In most instances the leases are 12, 24, 36, 39, 42 or even 48 months with 36 being the most common.  However, for the new car dealership the lease transaction is still a sale.  This is why many dealerships will tell consumers they “cannot” reduce the price of the MSRP because the car is  being leased.

This is absolutely untrue and is often used as a way to trick consumers.  It works because the payments on a lease are always much less than they payments on buying a car.  Of course it is because buying means paying for the whole car while leasing is just buying a block of the car’s time.

Question: How much should I pay for a New 2010 Toyota Prius V (MSRP $31.6K with NAV) in SF Bay Area?

Question:  I’m looking to trade my Black 2007 Toyota 4Runner Limited 2WD V8 with 34000mi in and lease a 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit with MSRP at 20,000. How can I negotiate this deal so that my trade for the 4Runner covers the existing lien of $23500?

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

I’m afraid there are too few ‘07 4Runners in that style in the used market. I wasn’t able to find much in that area. But I can help you negotiate a good price on the VW Rabbit.

The best way to find out the price for a Rabbit is to use the AutoBrag Car Price Search Engine.

The First Step: Open a new browser window and go to http://www.autobrag.com/#SearchCarPrices then select the appropriate Year, Make and Vehicle Model of the new car price you are searching for.

The Second Step: Choose which mode to display new car prices.

On the left hand side there are five selections on how you want the new car prices to display: Lowest Price, Best Value, Biggest Discount, Accepted Braggles and Countered Braggles.

The first selection is Lowest Price. New car prices are displayed according to the lowest price.

The second selection is Best Value. In this mode, new car prices are displayed according to percentage off of MSRP also referred to as “discount off of sticker price”.

The third selection is Biggest Discount. In this mode, new car prices are sorted by the biggest total dollar savings amount. Keep in mind this is not the same as largest percentage off MSRP.

The fourth selection is Accepted Braggles. These prices are derived from AutoBrag users who submitted buy offers through the Braggle System For New Cars and had their offers accepted by dealerships. This information is exclusive to AutoBrag and will save you thousands of dollars and hours of time.

The final selection is Countered Braggles. These prices are dealership counter-offer prices to Braggles submitted by AutoBrag users. This information gives new car buyers an idea on what dealerships are looking for from a pricing standpoint when car shoppers submit Braggles.

The FINAL STEP: Once you know what you should paying… utilize the Braggle System For New Cars on http://www.autobrag.com/ to decide which dealership to purchase from.

The Braggle system enables new car shoppers to negotiate the lowest new car prices by making anonymous offers to local dealerships simultaneously with just a few clicks. Dealerships compete, buyers win, and best of all it’s free for both dealers and shoppers of new cars.

Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!

The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 19.07%

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y

Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees

X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP

Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)

Before you begin calling or visiting every dealership, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.

Finance Specials: 0.00% up to 60 Months. Vehicle must be financed through the manufacturer’s captive finance company. Offer Expires: 3/31/2010

2.90% up to 72 Months. Vehicle must be financed through the manufacturer’s captive finance company. Offer Expires: 3/31/2010

Question From JN: I am debating between Camry LE, Accord LX, or Altima SE 4 four door sedans. I am not in urgent need as my other car is OK. However, I would like to buy one when the deals are good. I am looking for a family car with better safety. I live in Fairfax, VA. Do you suggest any of these.? If so what would be best price I should offer and what are the other cost associated with it. Any help is appreciated. This web site is fantastic. JN

Queen of the Road: Hi JN. Before I can answer, I’ll need to know exact details for what you’d like. Were you thinking of new cars? If so, what year? Automatic or manual? I’ll also need the exact trim you’re looking for. You can do that by going to AutoBrag.com and clicking the tab marked “Search Prices“. Select the cars and look at the list of trims.

I can tell you now that price wise, Toyota offers much better incentives and discounts than the other two. Send me the trims you selected and an email address so that I can contact you directly if I have questions.

Question: How much should I pay for a 2003 Honda Accord EX with 95,178 miles on it? manual 2WD VIN is JHMCM56643C000xxx. Dealer ship transaction.

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, the car price authority!!

2003 Honda Accord 4C Sedan EX Auto prices with 95,200 miles, wholesale prices range from $7,200 (being in above average condition) to $6,300 (being in average condition) and $5,300 (being in below average condition).

A fair range for a dealership sell a 2003 Honda Accord for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $8,200 to $10,600. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
