Saturn still no haggle?
« on: November 06, 2006, 01:05:11 pm »
Thinking of potentially adding the Aura to the shopping list. Is Saturn still a no haggle shop? Does this add any room on the trade in value negotiation front?

Saturn promises to keep its one-price, no-haggle approach. That doesn't mean no discounts; just that everybody who buys from the same dealer should get the same price

Let us know your impressions. The Aura is a very nice package.

So different Saturn dealers will sell the same car at different (but fixed) prices?

They beat ppl on the trades.  That is usual to most dealers regardless of brand.

From personal experience, although I could not negotiate on the car's price, I did negotiate for my trade as well as dealer-installed options I wanted on the new ride (spoiler, block heater).

Means Saturn corporate may have a discount incentive which all dealers could sell for below MSRP.

And yes, they usually try to high-ball trades I think.

OK. That sounds the same as every other vehicle brand. So Saturn is "no haggle" but you can still haggle?
