In my area none of the dealers had FWD all were AWD.. So when I was negotiating I told hem I wanted FWD only (knowing that there were none in the area). So after explaining to them that I did not want to pay for the 1,300 additional for something I did not want plus the added fuel cost over the course of 5 years..
FWD; MPG vs. AWD MPG. Is about - 90 less miles per month of driving due to the AWD... so 90 miles x 12 =1080 less miles per year I was loosing in fuel.. with gas at $2.99 per gallon of and over 5 years the AWD was costing me about $3,300.00 + just because the dealer did not have an FWD... plus the extra $1,300...
After the salesman and his managers heads were spinning. They talked for a minute and said they would give me the AWD for no cost....
Stick to what you want. Or deal for discount for haveing to take an AWD vehicle. Don't forget your Costco discount too.
