Car Quote - Car Price Quote

Also see:

Car quote is used to refer to one the methods by which automobile selling prices may be obtained. Quotes are price offers that generally come directly from an authorized car dealer and can be requested by telephone, fax, email, or by direct visit to a dealer.

One of the most popular methods of requesting a price quote is through an Internet "car pricing" service such as the one provided by Edmunds.com. Services such as Edmunds have already worked out reasonably good prices with car dealers across the country. Dealers pay such services a modest referral fee for bring them business. The service is free to consumers.

Once you request a price quote for a specific vehicle from such a company, one or more local dealers will contact you to give you a price. However, don't assume that the quote you receive is the best possible price from that dealer. There's always room for negotiation, regardless of how good the quote might be.

To summarize, any price quote that you receive from a car dealer is more an offer than a firm price. A dealer will almost never quote his best price in the first offer. If you negotiate, you may get a series of offers, hopefully getting better each time you ask for a new one.
