Didn't even try to talk them down more, just said start the paperwork. Got an extra $2500 in incentives bringing the price down to $34,900. Add in $9k in fed and state incentives and I'm a happy camper. I used TrueCar to put the request out to local dealers, everybody else was coming back around $39k for similarly equipped Volts.
Pros for the Sonata: it's so much roomier on the inside. And the interior feels and looks much nicer. Price is close. TrueCar says 35k for the volt and 33k for the Sonata in Northern California. But 9k in rebates for volt and 7k for Sonata. So it's almost the same for price. Opinions ? Has anybody else cross-shopped these cars ?
Thanks - they did pop up on TrueCar.com as one of the best prices. I'll email David.
Keyes contacted him with their alleged TrueCar pricing. Yeah right. Although they had the TrueCar pricing they had all of these overpriced add-ons that are mentioned here. I think it is just a fundamental (and deceitful) way to run a dealership.
This appears to be a better price than what TrueCar shows. When leasing the 2015 Volt, on top of that GM has a discount of $500 for current Volt owners and there is another discount which brought the price down to $25,585. For a 3-year lease with 15K miles/year, the monthly lease is about $200 including interest @ 2.9%.
Now when the dealer calculates Tax, is it based on the 32.5K truecar quote (which includes the 5K incentive), or before the incentive at 37.5k? I ask because I see posts about how the 2014 model is a better buy since the tax will be lower which implies the 2013 model's tax is before the 5k incentive? Should I get the 2013 now, or wait for 2014?
