rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 5m 19d Posted 15/08/08 02:35 AM Share Posted 15/08/08 02:35 AM sound like you did well mate. Mine same specs and was $39.664.00 as it is a lease. but if I had to pay GST it would have been 43,399.00 . Cheers, GeoffThose are both good prices, did you negotiate that yourself or was it through fleet of some sort. I paid about the same (little more) and none of the private fleet companies could come close to it. which made me feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, voulentarily, explained a few things about buying a new car that I didnt realise and some other stuff. Good bloke. Would recomend him to anyoneCheers,Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid about the same (little more) and none of the private fleet companies could come close to it. which made me feel good.I dont like playing stupid games with dealers and like to be straight up. I went to three dealers and told them the same specs. Also said that the first price they give me will be their only price that I will accept from them and will not come back and play to and fro between dealers. Seems to work ok for me and seems to make the dealers get fair dinkum wlth their prices knowing I wont come back for a second bite.cheers, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the sales manager comes out getting all excited thinking they have an on-the-spot sale. "No I'm not shaking your friggin hand, will let you know if I want it. Don't call me, I'll call you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
