Anyone bought a new car lately and got a really "killer deal"? It's a buyer market right now, you know?

Question

Dealers have been sticking it to us for decades, it's our turn now.

Answer 1

My mother works at a Toyota company and they've had to stop making SUVs and pick-ups (Tundras) because no one buying them. They have upped production of hybrids though, and smaller cars, especially the Yaris.

Answer 2

I bought a brand new car for $8500!

It's a Flybo electric car, 2 seater, 80 miles on one charge, it goes 50 mph and I love not pumping gas!

I got mine at New Hampshire All Natural

Answer 3

you would be amazed at how many suv's and trucks have been traded in for smaller, gas efficient sedans.

Car sales have plumeted due to gas prices and no one seems to want to splurge on a car anymore. That means good or bad news for buyers, good news because salesmen are desperate for a sale, at the same time tho a loss in sales income has caused some dealers to look for a buyer willing to pay more and scoff at buyers wanting to pay a fair price.

Its hit or miss, great deals on trucks, not so much sedans.  

Answer 4

New car Dealers are losing an average of $136.00 a car this year.  Last year they lost an average of $114.00 a car and the year before that they lost an average of $46.00 per car.  Source: Automotive

I don't think it is as pretty as you think it is out there.  Those numbers are after F&I and expense.  There is a Dodge Dealer in Alburquque NM, selling $30,000 brand new picks for $15,000  How much do you think he is losing per vehicle.  In June he sold 113 units and 79 Where the pickups he is losing around $5,000 each. Do the math on that one. Also was in Automotive News.
