The Best No-Haggle Prices on 2012 Models
May 3, 2012
Using the
TrueCar Pricing Tool, I did a search for the largest discounts currently being offered on 2012 models.
There are over 5,000 dealerships providing pre-negotiated prices through TrueCar, oftentimes offering rock-bottom prices (although you should still try to negotiate lower).
Some dealers are actually offering vehicles for below cost, hoping to make up the revenue by selling add-ons such as extended warranties. Other dealers, feeling threatened, are trying to shut down TrueCar through legislation that prohibits them from doing business in their State.
This is actually a good sign for buyers. It shows that TrueCar does provide deals that are eating away dealer profits.
Here are the largest discounts I was able to find with a quick search in Southern California:
| Vehicle | Average Savings off MSRP | % Discount |
|---|
| 2012 Mitsubishi Galant | $3,441 | 15% |
| 2012 Toyota Tundra 2WD | $3,802 | 15% |
| 2012 Chevrolet Malibu | $3,280 | 14% |
| 2012 Nissan Frontier | $2,466 | 13% |
| 2012 Ford Focus | $2,457 | 13% |
| 2012 Chevrolet Impala | $3,436 | 13% |
| 2012 Nissan Altima | $2,692 | 13% |
| 2012 Ford Expedition | $4,855 | 13% |
| 2012 Nissan Sentra | $2,219 | 13% |
| 2012 Ford Expedition EL | $5,119 | 12% |
| 2012 Lincoln MKS | $5,108 | 12% |
| 2012 Ford Flex | $3,725 | 12% |
| 2012 Ford Fusion | $2,542 | 12% |
| 2012 Nissan Maxima | $3,574 | 11% |
| 2012 Nissan Murano | $3,464 | 11% |
