Negotiation Tips

  1. Get quotes from at least 3 dealers in the Miami area before committing.
  2. Always ask for the out-the-door price — it includes fees, taxes, and add-ons that aren't in the sticker price.
  3. Consider waiting until December for the lowest seasonal prices.
  4. The typical markup on this vehicle is 7.5% over invoice. Use the invoice price as your starting point in negotiations.
  5. Check manufacturer incentives and rebates before visiting the dealer — they can stack with negotiated prices.
  6. Don't discuss your trade-in until the purchase price is fully locked in.
  7. Budget for approximately $1,977 in sales tax on top of the purchase price.
