Any Tricks On Buying A New Car Directly From A Dealer?

[Vans]

Hi all,

Sorry but i need advise or maybe inside info on how to get the dealer to give u a very good deal on the car. Or maybe tons of freebies add on when usually they dun give. Is it possible?

Or the deal is fixed ? Is there anything i should be aware of ?

Please advise.

I went to min of 3 dealer and ask for lots of extra from each and telling them about the other dealer give me this or that, and normally the new dealer ups the deal.

You probably have to pay the list price for the car but each dealer will give you extra like films, sensors, etc.

Im getting a toyota vigo raised platform 4x4 very soon. I am buying in Phuket. There is only two toyota dealers here and they are both from the same person who runs it, according to the pple here. Not sure.

I heard from one of my Thai fren he suggested that i ask someone to go along with me. That person will get paid commission. Like 5,000 b ?? In this way i can collect the cash from my trusted fren and in return i use the money for modding my truck. Is this true ?

Any tips on getting the best deal possible will be very much appreciated.

Off the top of my head, I would have to say any commission would be added to your purchase price.

Now if you know a Thai that bought a vehicle recently and got a better deal than you have been offered so far, ask him/her to go with you.

Follow Givenall's advice and make several trips to both as if they were independent dealers. Keep poking away at the price, show interest but no hurry, and who knows what discounts might be offered to make the sale.

I got free Class A insurance for the first year (besides other discounts).

I had a sales person call me up and match another dealer's/sales person's offer a week after they told me they could not and not getting a sale. Apparently they kept working on it in some manner.

This is exactly what the wife an I did when we bought our Triton.

Went around three local dealers and went from 720k and no extras to 680k with loads thrown in complete with years 1st class insurance.

Keep plugging away and you will eventually come to their 'best' offer.

Even though you are set on buying a Toyota, go look at similar models of other brands. Then say to the dealer, "So and so is giving me ..." It works we had the dealers calling us.

i dont no wether this is true was told this by a dealer in bangkok

ask the price of the new car without these so called freebee ie insursnce,films,floor mats,underbody wax,

he assures we that the car will be approx 50,000 bt cheaper this was on a toyota vios

if it is true,these are not freebees

check it out maybe worthwile

Yes, get all the extra/accessories you want than offer this a cash price, CASH is the Key.

Let say the truck is 750,000 baht is it possible to deal at 700,000 baht?

As i come to know that manufacturer 'sold' to them at around 500,000-600,000

And is outside banks auto finance interest rates lower than the one offered in the car dealer it self ?

How should i play this game ? I am looking like : Dealer cost + 5 % profit for them

I was told exactly the same thing by 2 different Toyota dealers when I bought a new car lsat year and the year before.

Both cars (Vios and Yaris) 20,000 Baht cheaper without the 'freebies'.

You can discount the price and then add back 'freebies' that you want (but will be charged for them)

also mate,if you can get yourself to bangkok and try to strike a deal there if you can

been told that they the big dealers will often do much better discounts than the dealers in the provinces,1) ask for the price of the car without anything extra,

then when he given you aprice try and get it down another 2/3 percent.

then when youve both agreed aprice,hit him and tell him you now want these so called freebees as every body ele gets them.

if he dosent come around to you way of thinking up and leave and leave him your name and number

andsay you go look else were

there are many many dealer in bkk you can go to and he knows that.

also IF YOU CAN GO IN WITH (COD)CASH.

REMEMBERif you dont ask you wont get just try it you might be surpised

good luck

also i forgot,in bangkok they will most likely speak english

and in the provices most likely wont speak english,or dont want to if you no what i mean,

if you take athird party with you make sure they are as eager as you to get this deal done.

if you can speak to somone in the place were you choose that nos what there talking about ie not some simpleton who has just left uni and do not no there arse from there elbow,ive come across this before.

you wont get what your after

hope this helps you in some way

Are you sure that cash is the key?

My girlfriend tells me after we have visited several Toyota and Honda dealers in our area (Ubon) that they prefer to sell with their own finance than for cash (the implication being you might get more freebies) cos that is where car dealers make their real money. Crazy, but in this stupid world (ie not just LOS) of 'never never' it makes sense to me.

Of course it will still make much more sense to buy cash if you have the money, even if cosmetically it looks like you get more in up front freebies
