Thanks!!
Yes it was a lot of research, the lease buyout thread and the YouTube video helped a lot.
negotiations, it’s a hit or miss, finding a dealership willing to play ball.
They were only about $800 off from the dealer discount I’ve wanted. I’ve used TrueCar to find out their dealer discount and used that.
told them No on the dealer markup BS
No to the BS fees
During the trade-in discussion.... 1st person to give a number loses!! We basically sat there for 8-10 mins staring at each other, so I finally took two business card, we both wrote down a number for the trade in, then turned it over at the same time.
He went $2k, I went $3,100. After coming back from his manager, he went $2,400. I told him $2,750

Part of negotiations Is that you need to know how to talk their lingo.

Very solid points!!

I did my negotiating over the phone since I didn't want to lose time from work to go to the dealership or burn gas... but I like your info for sure!

haha writing something down then turning it over... yeah I should take some notes and do better next time... I was negotiating different Stingers in both Florida and New York... oh well!

Overpaying by $1000 is a solid lesson learned for next time!

Yes, alway negotiations over phone or emails 1st. Then go to dealership.
in my quest, I’ve contacted about 10 dealerships.

Nice! Fun and rewarding journey!

The only tough part was getting a solid trade-in value for my WRX but they actually matched what I had the vehicle listed for private sale... (I heard from someone under the table that the nephew of the dealership owner wanted a WRX as his first toy to learn stick on so that's perhaps why they gave me my asking price on a trade-in)

This information is actually more accurate to what people need as taxes, dealer fees, and all the other bull a dealership adds on can differ tremendously. OTD price is more misleading entirely.

MSRP compared to the price you pay for "just" the car is what people need to see so they can determine if it's a good deal..

OP, if MSRP is $43k and you are getting a listing at $36k, I would say that is a great deal! After all fees/taxes applied and you're under the MSRP of the car, you technically already have equity in it. Beware though, depreciation is REAL lol Stinger GTs and above are holding value pretty well and I think it will hold steady as more and more people learn about this car and the value it brings to the table.

For reference, I have a '20 GT RWD and I paid $35.7k for mine. MSRP is $41k. I'd say I got a deal as well. Pull the trigger

Are you able to haggle the price on a lease ?

Almost everything is negotiable, but finding a dealership to play ball is another thing.

Always. You want the lowest number you can get on the MSRP and cap cost of the car. When they bring you the purchase agreement, look at both. Lower the better. Plenty of different parameters that change the monthly payment of it but continue to research and find a "stealership" that is not asking above MSRP.
