I was hoping the get a better offer than was originally put on the table so I asked them to work a little harder on the price.

To me, their numbers didn't make that much sense. Taking into account 10K down, all the taxes and fees, 2.9% interest for 60 months, I was quoted $350/mo rate for the OTD sale price. This doesn't make sense to me because the "Clearance" asking price on the truck is 27,900. If I'm putting 10,000 down at 2.9% interest for 60 months, I'd like to see my payments closer to $300/mo than $350/mo.

Are you working with the same person as your past purchases? If not, that may be why you're not getting the deal you were expecting. Once you told them you were looking only at monthly price, they prolly stopped using that clearance price amount and substituted a higher selling price. And ignored the fact that your family is a longtime customer. Pretty common situation, unfortunately. Good luck. Hope you do get a good offer soon.

Never negotiate a payment. Car dealers love customers like that. If you have a target monthly amount, go here:

Mortgage calculator - Interest.com

That way you know the purchase number (beforehand) that you need to do the deal.

When I bought my RL it was a tough choice trying to decide between blue and silver. Silver won...but if the Nimbus Grey would have been available when I bought my RL...I'd be driving a Nimbus Grey RL. Don't get me wrong, I like the silver on my RL...but I thin the NG looks classier....

I didn't want to start a new thread but I'm trying to decide between Nimbus Gray and Black. I'm leaning towards Black but...... I'm never owned a black car and am not so good at getting to the car wash...

I want to thank all of you for your input and knowledge when it comes to RL...

I'm the proud new owner of a New Nimbus Gray 2008 RTL (no nav). After shopping around I think I got a great price: $25,400
