The refi was through PenFed CU and was a new car rate (which are lower than used car rates). In fact their "new" refi loan 36 months is 1.49 APR right now, and here is their verbage on what is...

Great point!
I bought a focus on a deal that was $2,000 cash back if financed at 5.9% through ford. Obviously that's a crap rate but the $2,000 cash back was worth way more to me than getting a...

Well this is all in CT so the difference between this dealer and the one I eventually bought from is basically zero time wise - they are both about 30 mins away from me. The whole interaction was...

If it helps, I generally had the same experience with not being able to get a real price breakdown from most dealers via email. Their explanation is that too many customers are likely to take that...

Same here. Past 2 cars we've bought were all "negotiated" online with a general RFQ after we determined make/model/year and some limited trim options - giving leeway for things like color, interior...

Thanks for the response. Right now I have 2 cars ('14 Prius C / Lease and a '13 Boxster / Own outright). My lease for the Prius C ends this summer and I'll need another daily driver. So on one...

Well in my case I always roll the old loan into the new one. My interest rates are always below 2% which is definitely worth it to me to have the money invested rather than in a car.
Sorry for...

It seems like these methods will work if you start with a car that you own so whenever you want upgrade you end up taking some form of loan on the difference between the value of your car and the one...

I don't have much to add, but I thought I'd chime in anyway in case I can save someone some money on a future new car purchase. For my new Honda Odyssey EX-L purchase last summer I started by...

I wish KBB would work but it never does, they always give you the run around, same thing with Blackbook.
The bottom line is that I am always willing to walk away. Never wait to buy a car until you...

What is your method? Is the price you demand off MSRP arbitrary? Do you spend hours haggling one dealer to a price and then go to another in the 11th hour saying beat it? Do you email blast all...

All of your reasons to lease are not exclusive to leasing... I buy new cars, own them for 2-3 years and then trade them in. Because I buy the cars at such steep discounts from new I end up making out...

It gets you back in the door. Then they can push.
When I leased, I didn't base it off MSRP. I made my deal and then said I wanted to lease.

The whole lease/buy is a dead horse. Basically the reasons to lease would be:
- always wanting a car under warranty (most leases will be shorter than the factory warranty limit on a new car, so...

I've found the same as Vanquished mentioned above typically. In my years of car shopping it never seemed to financially make sense to lease a vehicle. The lease payments plus the buyout price at...

I've never personally leased a car but it almost never makes sense financially (it makes a ton of sense if you don't have the time or desire to haggle and walk away a bunch of times).
I buy and...

I would just ride it to the end of the lease and return the car... look up depreciation on VW Passats .. they are worth almost nothing after 5-6 years. If it was a Toyota or Honda I would consider...
