I spent a few weeks shopping around like many of you, and I was able to find a dealer to discount a Limited from MSRP 39,970 to 36,900. They had an incoming model that fit the bill and I placed a deposit down and I was emailed all payment/lease info confirming the details. Wife and I were very excited to have this locked down, and we were literally counting the days down to delivery.
Fast forward 7 days. Dealer called me this morning and said that there was a mistake and that they could not honor the cost because the sales agent was not authorized to give this deal??? Really?, I was on the phone multiple times with the sales rep, and I heard him say "let me run this by our manager" at almost every call. Needless to say, Im very disappointed and after speaking with the GM, they changed their offer to 1500.00 off MSRP (38,340). They won't budget any further because according to them that they can't sell the car for less, because of the limited availability.
I'm still really upset that Im going through all of this again, especially after we had pre-negotatied the deal and it was the only reason why I put a down payment.
Im leasing and it basically works out to a 10.00 increase, does that sound right (3500.00 down, 36 months @ 12k miles annual 466.00 to 476.00 tax included). I know it sounds minimal, but Im already stretched thin on the budget.
What do you guys think? Who cares and move on? Or are the lease numbers high and I should reconsider starting over? Appreciate the input.
