Went to two places today so far. First place I went to a Chevy dealership. Sales Agent wasn't a dick which was a plus. Test drove two cars and guy was able to answer my questions. After I sat down with guy and who I am guessing was his boss. Was told the rebates of both cars I looked at and was told the interest rate would be around 2.3% if I took out a loan through chase to buy my car through them. Was given ball park figures of 18.8k for Cruze (basic model) and 17.5 for Sonic (with some minor upgrades) after rebate, taxes, title, etc. Was put under no pressure to sign anything today.
Then I went to a Ford place. I told the agent I was looking for a car in the area of 16k before taxes. We go out to look at two different cars. A focus and fiesta. He then goes inside to get the keys. When he comes back he brings back a much younger agent to take me on the test drive. He says he has another appointment. SO me and the new agent go on the test drive in the focus and it goes well. I ask him how much this car is and he says 23k.
. I ask if their is a rebate and he says there is but he doesn't know how much
. The car drives really well though and says the basic model is 19k plus a rebate. But he does not know exactly how much the rebate is.
We then go to test drive the fiesta but there is a problem. The battery is dead
. He goes inside and gets the charger and the car is good to go. We get on the street for the test drive and he notices the gas gauge says two miles left so we just drive basically around the block as he is worried were gonna run out of gas
. I ask how much for this model and he tells me 19k. I ask about the base model and he says they those for around 15k. I know it was not this agents fault, but why the first guy couldn't have me test drive cars in the price range I wanted was irritating. After that I asked if we could go inside and get an idea of how much it would cost me to purchase either vehicle. He told me their dealership does not do that. They only run numbers if your are serious about buying and don't like to throw figures out that could be wrong. So I left and am not going back.
I noticed both places the first question was what type of monthly payment I am looking for. When I responded I dont care about the payment and only the price of the car, both places looked at me surprised. So now I am back to doing some more research but currently leaning toward the Cruze. It seems like a relatively good price, but of course I don't know shit about cars and could be wrong.
