Default Need help

Hello everyone,

I'm buying a torred se completely basic and the dealer told me I have to order it to get plain like that. I live in Miami fl. Does anyone know how much do I have to save for registration and license plate. I'm switching plates from one car to the challenger. And how much will I be looking to spend for insurance since I'm 23 years old.
UPDATE****
I just found an se the way i wanted it. Its 26000 becuase it has some options i would not mind having. NOw I need to know how much can I lower the price of the car??? They said 22000. I would pay 22000 with taxes included. What do you think? oh and I put a 100 deposit. Can they still sell it? becuase i can buy it in the 20th of this month not today.

THANK YOU!!!

I would look around a bit, they surely have some coming in that are basic se models that the dealers sell as is.

I asked one of the local dealers if I could get a basic se and he said as soon as they get them in they put $3-4K of accessories on them. He did say they had one coming in that I could get but I had to tell them I wanted it so they knew not to add the accessories. Sounds as if that is what most of them are doing.

Can't help with the insurance, but I would think it would be reasonable if your driving record is clean. Good luck.

My local dealer never has base models, they are always loaded up, I dont know how it works in FL with registration, but in NV they pro-rate whatever time is remaining on the plate to the new vehicle.

I'm skeptical that a dealer can add that much in factory accessories. Are they going to install 'factory' sunroof? Sure they can do wheels and other bolt on stuff.
Check traderonline.com or ebay for a basic car. You can do a online bid for the car with options that you want. Also go to edmunds.com or nada.com to find out the invoice price of the car that you want.

Good luck.

In Miami they won't budge my brother , Kevin can attest to this.

If your anywhere close to MSRP in Miami then your in good shape because every dealer I know in Palm Beach and Miami are asking over MSRP

Dadeland Dodge want's almost 60,000 for an SRT.

You don't think they can add 3-4K in dealer options? Spoilers, stripes, pedal kits, sealants, wheels, sills, tint, floor mats? The list goes on, lots of profit there, way more than having the factory do it.
