Possibly buying a Sportage and seeking input on what to expect to pay at the dealership.
So my wife and I are looking to buy a car. Likely between the Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, but leaning more towards the Sportage hybrid S or EX trim. We do have the means to pay for it outright, but are open to finance if it’s a good enough deal. This will be our first time purchasing a new car at the dealership and was just curious to know what people ‘s recent experience has been as far as negotiating the final price. Any deals/discounts offered and that sort of thing… If it matters, we are in San Bernardino County Southern California. Neither one of us has subprime credit. Solid, but not over 800 credit score excellent either. Were you offered better terms when financing in-house? Were you able to get a better quote from your bank or credit union for a loan? Any benefit to paying cash outright? Will likely be going to the dealerships sometime next week to test drive etc. Thanks,
