What will you do with two cars then
It is clearly a buyers market with cars - $10-$12K off MB E350's are not unusual in competitive market areas as the 2016's come on the lot now.
Pulled the trigger on an AWD Ultimate. Thanks for the Truecar tip. Great starting point. I wound up at $500/mo. with $1,500 down. I had to drive to a dealer two hours away, but it was worth it. My local dealer, who have have bought 3 Hyundais from, pretty much insulted me with a monthly payment of $650 or so. I can't remember exactly because he was so far off and I was seeing red.
Anyway, got to spend two hours on the highway last night learning the car as I drove home. What an amazing ride. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks to everyone here for their help.
Wow great deal. What was the MSRP ?
Thanks
Last hour of the last day of the month and quarter... I got a deal I was very happy with.
I had started a week earlier with TrueCar prices of 49,780 - 50,252 from 4 different dealers in the Dallas Ft Worth area. I was able to eliminate 3 fairly quickly as they said that would be the best they could do. As I looked at other makes/models I stayed in contact with the 3rd, Huffines Hyundai of Plano. After an initial round of negotiation, finalizing on a color, and throwing out all but one other purchase option (Lexus GS350 FSport) they found me a car at another of their local branches with no charge for the transfer.
2015 5.0 Ultimate Sedan - Empire State Gray on Black - MSRP 55,700
I negotiated these adds:
Rebadged w/Wings
Ceramic tint all around including the pano. They used a vendor I trust from a previous transaction.
My final price: 45,898 + 125 Doc Fee + TTL
This included 1,000 competitive owner coupon and 3,000 in Flex Cash coupons. This was the ONLY dealer that offered ANY Flex Cash, even after I informed the others that this was on the table. One dealer softly implied that the deal was not real.
After I was satisfied with the purchase price, I offered to let them make a bid on my existing car. The first offer beat Carmax by +/- 10% but was 500 below what I thought I could easily get on my own. They came up 200 and I let them have it.
Hyundai's promotional purchase financing rate was the same as my credit union so I let the dealer do the financing and they rate ended up *ever so slightly* lower using US Bank NA.
The sales experience was great and I'm loving the car. It's a tough task to beat this kind of tech for the price.
I'm strongly considering leasing a "loaner"
2015 5.0 Sedan (everything except ultimate) - 6k miles - Casablanca white
$350/month $4k down.
Is this deal any better compared to a "new" lease?

I went straight to my salesman with the truecar quote. I wish I had done it differently now . The funny part (human nature) I was thrilled with the truecar quote, until I bought the car and heard they would have gone lower......
