Received a match with the TrueCar quote for this area from Internet sales person in South Carolina for a 2017 Sonic Silver/Black CX-5 Touring FWD with Preferred Equipment Package with wheel locks (based on MSRP of $27,690) = $25,785.
Here, SC sales tax maximum is $500 - recently the law increased the max sales tax from $300. Tag fee for a transfer is $25. Dealer closing fee is $225.
I have a 2011 VW Tiguan trade in with over 114,000 miles that they offered $3953.
They haven't seen the trade-in. I'm going to try to negotiate this for more.
Right now, OTD for me with a trade-in is $22,582.
Summary of Costs:
Sales price for Sonic Silver 2017 CX-5 Touring with preferred equipment package and wheel locks without Tax and dealer fee ($225) = $25,785
I have financing pre-approved through my credit union for 1.99%
I'm going to apply for their financing (3 months no payment - 60 months at .9%).
Really hoping I can bump up my trade-in by at least $1000 more!
