Hi, I have a question regarding buying a new G. I am an international student in California so I don't really know about the tax and other fees that I had to pay when buying a car in California. So if I got an offer for a G with sunroof, splash guards, and a trunk mat with sticker of 35250 and an invoice of 32355, and the dealer offered me 33355, how much more am I looking to pay? How much am I looking to pay out the door? Should I negotiate more? Is that a good deal? Sorry if this has been covered before, but I searched.

 

You will pay about 9% more TTL(Fees), but I think you can try to negotiate a few hundred dollars more, ore try to split the bills on spoiler, tint, etc. You being a foreign student has nothing to do with the price unlike tuition.

 

so the price 33355 does not include the tax? Thanx for the reply.

 

i would say ask for invoice or lower. the 06 will be out soon and they need to get rid of the 05

 

add 10% to what ever price they give you. 7.75 for tax, and 2.25 for misc. fees. Right now you should be able to pick up an 05 for invoice. If you want an Automatic, then you should get way below invoice. Don't let them take advantage of you because you are a foriegn exchange student.

what dealer did you go to?

 

i didn't go to dealer yet, just online quote from tustin dealer

 

is it hard for an international student to get financing? a friend of mine (doesnt have a job) bought a merc benz and she got a financing from mechanics bank in san francisco, but i tried to get financing for a used car, but it is very hard to get approved as I dont have a job.

 

online quotes are on the high side. the only way you'll be able to get a good deal is by actually going to the dealer yourself and negotiating. u should be able to get a really good deal for the 05... hopefully even get invoice
