I dunno how much, but every advertised price will be high, then when you go there they will slash a bit so you will have the feel good effect. Merc, BMW all will have these tactics too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is Lexus is on which side? Ain't OT basically how much mark up? They can mark the car up by 150k and give you a 100k overtrade, u want? Or they can up the car selling price then tell you $50k discount! Edited April 7, 2021 by ferrytales 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever you see is called the "listed price". When you go down to the showroom to enquire the sales ppl will offer you a discount. If there is an event or promo there will be further or additional discounts. That is how it is said. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of saying things and embarrass themselves like 20 years never step into the car showroom. A sales person suggest OT to you? He/she thinks you cannot afford to buy the car is it? Haha... I can tell you what to expect so that you dont make a fool of yourself cos what you ask ppl they will know where you are coming from. Because they see all sorts of folks walking into the showroom. For authorized dealers...when it comes to discounts and freebies it is fixed for every customer by the car dealership. No special discounts for individuals. I have come across very thick skin individuals who keep pestering the salesman for more discount while I was test driving a car. They keep calling and ask for discount. As long as their father did not open the dealership whatever discount and freebies...it is fixed. If you want more discounts wait for special sale events or sgp sale. It is good that you do not want to consider OT. It is basically used when ppl dont have cash to top up the shortfall even after trading in their existing car and taking 70% loan. In other words no money. Everything is inflated so that you take a much bigger loan and pay a lot more interest. Like say after discount and everything your car cost 100K but the amount of interest is like the 1st two year of installments you are just paying interest alone. Havent even begin paying the 100K yet. That is how bad it is. If you get into financial difficulty and cannot pay the installment you will be in a shitload of financial trouble cos interest will add onto your late payments. Most ppl cannot get out of it and became broke. Dont think that selling your car will solve your problem. Ppl fall into a lot of debt with the same thinking. It is ok if you dont know how to work out the sums cos the salesperson will take care of it. As in you guys will sit down and do the math on a piece of paper. If he or she start putting OT into the picture means it is out of your budget. You can still save yourself and tell him or her you will consider the offer and let him/her know on a later date. So my advise is to choose a hat that fits your head. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even you dont trade in any car, the 20k will also be deducted from the listed price. Every car model has different overtrade value, go down showroom ask and understand better. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. this is quite standard practice.. can also split the discount between outright discount and trade in overtrade to adjust the amount of downpayment to make. like the example you gave, can do 10k discount off list price and 10k top up to trade in value. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithyap Clutched April 8, 2021 Share April 8, 2021 @Anderss May i know which model are you interested in? I have make some enquiry n ES & NX about 2 weeks back.
