there's a sales manager named Al Palmer that works at both dealers. I worked with him a long time ago at a rental car company. we've gotten our 4 runner, tacoma, and camry from him and all have been killer deals. he doesn't write up the sales anymore though, Danny's one of his guys.
[hank hill]but he's my car guy, he gives me good deals, never above sticker[/hank hill]

Zeke quoted me $500 over invoice when i tried to order one. so i got my 07 sti from Albany subaru at invoice. so at this point, i m not sure he will give me something at or below invoice for ordering a xt limited.

how can you guys can so much under invoice? i thought they only have about 3% of MSRP on holdback. were you guys also have rebates and incentives when you got your car?

don't be afraid to walk away.
don't feel sorry for the salesman.
don't have the mindset going in that you are driving home in something different that day.

last 2 cars i negotiated were online. i got invoice for my 07sti and invoice for g37 for my friend. i know there were room under the inovice, but 3k and 1.5k under invoice were impressive.

nope no rebates nothing the biggest key to buying a car is being patient and checking your local papers and Internet sales wait for the right deal and don't settle

If he's the older dude, he's a ****ing TOOL!!! I ended up getting aboso****inglutely pissed at him. Ra88it was with me. He wasn't there when I exploded on him and told him I want another sales guy. I was serious blood red for a good 30 minutes after he pissed me off so much. I literally wouldn't want to see that guy make a DIME on a deal
