Tip for buying a new car!
I bought a new Toyota today and got a ace deal.
Here's what you do!
1 - Decide on make, model, colour and spec
2 - Get the yellow pages out and pick 5 large dealers
3 - Go to the first and say "how much"
4 - When he tell's the price say "last chance whats your best walk away price"
5 - He will give you a price and ask you to sign, so tell him you will at 4pm
6 - Go to the next dealer with the price you just got and deduct $500 and tell them that was the price and you want them to beat it, also tell him the above speil.
7 - Go the the next dealer and the next etc
At about 2'ish you will have the best price so go back to the dealer who give you the price and tell him you will sign if he gives you a further $500 discount mats, full tank of fuel and the first service free (which will be the 2nd service because the first service is free anyway) as soon as you have asked stay quiet
Remember the more they sell the better discount they get from Toyota so if they make a loss it does not matter that much because that sale might get them to the next level of discount.

Re: Tip for buying a new car!
I bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris 1.5, 5 door in metallic caribbean blue.
http://yaris.toyota.com.au/toyota/ve...01_662,00.html
Extras Included -
Toyota mats
Full tank of fuel
6 month Rego
2nd service
Paint protection (bought a house next to the sea and I can't picture the Mrs polishing it)
window tints (stops the heat)
undersealed (again the sea)
rust proofed (sea knacker cars)
all the seats and carpet stained proofed (two kids under 5)
all plastic (dash, door tops etc) heat proofed against the sun
And I paid $18,200 I'll pick it up when the Mrs gets here.
The Toyota web site quotes $19,690 but you have to add dealer delivery, statutory charges (gst + stamp duty) and optional extras like metallic paint and all the other stuff.
Here's a selection of used
http://www.autotrader.com.au/search-...ubs_Used+Cars_
So for me it was better to buy new.
I bought a house today as well

Re: Tip for buying a new car!
Hi Everyone!
First post! Was having a bit of a squizz as I'm a british expat (moved here in 1999) and I spotted on the front page an article "Buying new cars - do they discount in Oz?"
That took my interest because that's exactly what I do in my company - Private Fleet. We're a car broker and we buy cars for private buyers and use our buying power to negotiate a good deal etc etc..
From there someone had linked to this post and I was very surprised to see my company mentioned there!
Anyway, a while ago I put a bunch of tips on our website and thought they might be useful here -
{edit by mod - please pm member for details of their website, advertising is not permitted on the forum}
Also, let me just say that often the hard-nosed, playing one dealer off against each other and lying about prices obtained elsewhere isn't always the best method. Firm but fair is much better for everybody. Dealers often have a bad rep because they are always having to respond to these sorts of tactics - try and remember that they're only trying to do their job!
Cheers
Dave
