Did I do good?

The only way to make a sensible comparison is to compare the exact same vehicle, bought at the same dealership, at the same time, from the same salesman.

Any other comparison is senseless, because there are far too many factors that affect price.

Why do people keep asking? What difference does it make? If we say you overpaid, are you going to return the car?

Here's a great stock answer. You got a good price. End of discussion.

 

you did way better than anyone is going to do in NW Arkansas! Congrats on the new ride.

 

Or Central Arkansas for that matter. I searched for 9 weeks for what I wanted in Arkansas. Always found one cheaper in Memphis, or Tulsa, or Texarkana, or Shreveport. Never in Arkansas untill FINALLY, at Orr in Hot Springs I got a white pkg. 4 with a sticker price of 25 and otd at 29. I am happy and the extra handling pkg is worth it on these Ark. roads.... jf

 

But like I said, wfor1, it's virtually impossible to compare car prices, because they're dependent on so many factors. Even the dealer's cost of the loan to keep cars on his lot.

 

Congrats on the new car. Enjoy the toy.

Good choice of color BTW.

 

Anything under MSRP might be considered a good deal. Some dealers in Georgia and Florida are trying to get as much as $3000 OVER MSRP as of just a couple weeks ago.

You bought a Prius. That in itself is a good deal! I love mine. It is especially fun to see just how much mpg you can squeeze out of it.

 

And definitely enjoy the car!

You'll like having choices when it comes to refueling.

In my town, gas is 30-50c more expensive than in the next town 20 miles away. Though I spend most of my time near home, I can plan my fuel purchases for the times I'm in another town. Typically I refuel when the tank is down halfway, rather than trying to wait for it to become very low. This way I won't get stuck having to buy gas at home.

And, unlike some other folks on the forum, I have no interest in squeezing the maximum distance from a tank of gas. Getting good MPG doesn't depend on how low you run the fuel gauge.

 

What does the dealer's cost of the loan or the salesman have to do with whether it is a good deal or not? He didn't ask if it was a good deal for the dealer... he asked if it was a good deal for him, right?

 

What I mean is that prices vary so widely that it's impossible to compare two numbers and say one is better than the other. Sure, one is a smaller number of dollars. But did the buyer get the lowest price possible? Depends...

A good price in expensive Los Angeles might still be higher than a "not so good" price in a rural area. At the very least, he'd need comparisons from the same city.

 

Invoice= 20,771
Package 2= 518
21,289+ttl Would Be A Good Price

 

are the prices from cars in the us with or without tax?

 

The abbreviation "OTD" means "out the door," which is the final amount spent.

That should include (if purchased, of course):

- All dealer-installed options, paint treatment, upholstery treatments;
- Prepaid maintenance;
- Extended warranty;
- All applicable sales taxes (state, county, and city);
- Motor vehicle fees: registration, document prep fees, license plate fees for new or transferred plates;
- Credit for a traded vehicle.

Typically, when negotiating price with the salesman, one must specifically state it's an OTD price negotiation; this avoids surprises.

 

I think it is good that you said what you so that others who are buying can know that they can get a deal at least as good as you did.

You did way better than I did when I bough mine a year ago.

Enjoy your new ride.
