So I'm seeing upwards of 8k off MSRP on GTI's within 100 miles of the tampa FL area and consistently 6k off MSRP. Are these prices reflective of the mk8 (2018) coming out soon? If so, is now the time to buy or should I wait a few months?
I had planned to buy a used 2016 model, but now with the prices dropping like crazy on 2017's I suppose I might as well go for the 0 mile car...
Normally my buying strategy at a dealership is to go at em with with an offer of the amount I want to pay, which I normally calculate as a thousand more then they paid for the trade in as I have only purchased used vehicles in the past. Then the salesmen says no, I walk out, they call the next day or stop me, or I dont buy that car. This strategy has always worked in the past, in the sense that I always get a great deal even if I dont buy the first car I make an offer on, most recently on my mk6 Autobahn GTI (listed for 27k in 2015, OTD for 21500).
Anyhow, what i'd like to know, can I haggle like this on a new car that is already marked down or would that be a waste of time.
Im thinking I'll say Ill buy it at that price (6k off MSRP) if I dont have to pay the dealer fee, delivery fee & tag fee. But then again im greedy and enjoy being tough on car salesmen, so I might even go after a lower sale price too.
Went a rant, but useful info if you're in the market for a used or new car .
