Why is this THE time to buy a new car???
most of the dealers i've tried to deal with over the last year or so just dont seem to want to give much. i've seriously considered a Mazda RX-8, Nissan 350Z, Ford Mustang, and for awhile even looked at a small Toyota Yaris. i eventually went with the 350Z, and now i am looking at the Lotus.
everybody says with the economy and automotive industry really struggling right now, that NOW NOW NOW is the time to buy a car. but yet the offers i've gotten from most salesmen/dealerships on various cars doesnt seem to be any better than what you would have expected if the economy is booming.
i've had Lotus dealers tell me if i order one i will pay sticker, or perhaps get up to $1,500 off the sticker. i priced a Corvette the other day, and two dealers offered me about $5,000 off the sticker on a $60,000 model. wow, big deal.
i dont see anything that makes me think this is the absolute perfect time to buy a car. the Nissan dealer knocked about $3,000 off the sticker on a $33,000 350Z, and the other two dealers only came down about $2,500.
so, what gives here???
