No house, but a new car

[Jim Jones]

My advise on buying a new car.

(1) Buy Friday morning early San Diego Tribune.

(2) Go to dealership and purchase the loss leader they have for sale the minute they open.

(3) Smile as the sales agent cries, they are never supposed to sell that car, but claim it’s already been sold.

(4) If they claim the car is not there, just let them know you will call the State AG and report them. The state loves that kind of complaint.

Flu,
Thanks for your offer. I don’t have special preferences. Just want a standard Toyota Corolla LE, black color.
Maybe I should bargain with them: 14k-1500 rebate=12.5k if that is possible.

I am open to get a 2008 model, as long as it is new. I will pay cash, too which may put me in a better bargain position.

Always be aware of tax advice used to sell you something. Yes, you can deduct sales tax. OR you can deduct the CA income tax you paid. However, you cannot deduct both and most people in California spend a lot more on income tax than they do on sales tax. Also, it only matters if you itemize and many people who do not have a home, and thus no mortgage interest and property tax deductions, do not.

Call your tax preparer – it should take them about 30 seconds to tell you if you will take the sales tax deduction on a large purchase over the income tax paid deduction on all your income tax or if you even want deductions at all. My guess is 90% of the time it won’t help you and should not be part of your buying decision.

Hope this helps!
