Whatever. The internet is full of people who supposedly got all this money off on a car. I sold cars. I know what's possible and what isn't. 20% off a Camry or a Civic is total bull****.

No rebates nor incentives on either one, just timing and hours of negotiating.

If the sticker price says $20,450.00 how much did the dealership pay for the car ? Years ago i worked at a car dealership & they (owners & salesmen) wouldnt tell me.

Bull****. Unless you were buying ultra-high-end luxury cars, total bull****.

I love how people think car salesmen are lying to them when in reality, it's the customer that lie the most and the longest.

Depends on the manufacturer of the car. At $20K, figure the car costs the dealership somewhere around $16,500 to $17K true cost.

Your dad is not getting 20% off high volume low price imports.

I won't dignify your response by making photocopies of the stickers and
the sales orders, but I could. Not even close to high end luxury cars, a Jeep Liberty and a Ford Ranger, both pretty loaded. I have no reason to make this up. I'll readily admit to paying full price once too, on a 1990 Bronco, when they were in short supply and the dealer wouldn't budge.
I also bought a 1972 El Camino at a local Classic Car dealer that was advertised for $12,999 and paid $7,500 in about 2002.

It's flat-out ridiculous. Each of those deals would lose several thousand dollars for the dealership.

But go on and tell everyone if it makes you feel better on the Internet. I used to talk to people like you all the time...."X dealer is giving me X off", when doing so would lose that dealership at least $4,000.

Yeah, right.
