HOT FOR SALE: Pick of the Week 991
02-02-2021, 02:45 PM
Anyone know why dealers raise prices on cars that have been sitting on their lots for months? I’ve been half-looking at Targas for a few months, and have now seen a few of them that have been listed for over 100 days with the prices slowly creep down (the most recent example car started at $100k and over the course of three months was lowered to $89k), only to see the price yesterday go back up (to $93k in this one example).
Since I’ve seen it a few times now, I assume it’s some sort of psychological thing where if people see the price going up, they think they have to hurry up and buy it before the dealer raises the price again since they are seeing so much demand?

Not sure what's up with those guys in SD, offer them $85 (I almost did)

That and it gives them the chance to later have the ad show "Price lowered" as if it's some kind of deal. Not everyone is watching the market and ads as close as you or us. The fact that I know the exact car you are talking about gives you an example of that Not sure what's up with those guys in SD, offer them $85 (I almost did)

2012 pdk vert in rare colors. Top looks to have some stains, but it looks to me that can be cleaned. One owner last 11 years. Mileage for a car that age and sub 70k price tag is about right to keep it in shape.

The very few undercarriage angles appear to show quite a bit of corrosion and just plain dirtiness. Also, they didn't even care to wash it before taking pictures. You can see a significant amount of brake dust on the wheels. I don't even let my cars get that dirty, much less try to sell them looking that way.

I would definitely not consider this HFS... 80k for this car is pretty ridiculous imo. Standard seats, standard interior... There are a few nicer cars listed on PCA classifieds for similar prices, and I'd even consider those to be overpriced as well.

You pay for 2 years warranty.

Yea but I'm not going to pay $10k for 2 years warranty. If someone is that concerned about warranty just buy a non-CPO car and get an extended warranty for 1/3 of the price.

I almost bought this car but at the time I thought it was overpriced with the miles that are on it.

They just lowered the price another $2k and it seems to be a pretty good deal for a one owner, manual, non-centerlock wheel car. No CPO because they wanted the price to be lower to attract buyers, DME came back perfect.
