New Vehicles
This system reflects MSRP or Manufacturers
Suggested Retail Price, which is the federally regulated “List” price. In some cases such
as Saturn dealers, this price is truly fixed. In most other cases, this price is negotiable
based on local “supply and demand”. In all cases the dealers in the CyberAuto Network have
agreed to quote YourFCU members their best price in an up front no-haggle manner when you call
or e-mail the contact for each dealer to verify a specific price. We encourage you to report
any variation on this policy on the Dealer Evaluation form on this system.
Pre-Owned Vehicles
Many dealers put a list price on their
pre-owned vehicles. This may be in writing or on a sticker that they install on the vehicle or
simply “painted” on the windshield in multiple colors. This price may be firm or
negotiable depending on the dealer (remember Saturn dealers use a fixed price system). Many
dealers set this price with room to negotiate a trade in allowance on your used vehicle. The
dealers in this system have agreed to provide their best price to YourFCU members when you call
or e-mail the contact listed for a firm price. In all cases (New or Pre-owned) the dealers in
the system have agreed to provide the credit union with the same firm fair price in writing
for loan verification purposes.
Take Advantage of the Internet
Factors which affect prices include supply and
demand, the age of the vehicle (how long on the lot) and even the dealers perception of the
consumers knowledge and negotiability. Use of internet systems such as this can increase the
dealer's perception of your strength. It puts the power of the credit union behind you. The
dealers in this system know that you are going to evaluate them and report on Pricing, Service
and your overall experience using the Dealer Evaluation Form. Use this form to get the best
deal available and to be able to tell other members about your experience good or bad.
