Fax only works in places where sales are slow. Busy dealers ignore them.

Too much work for them to list all the cars, and their prices, with no real commitment from the shopper.

Re: Fax only works in places where sales are slow. Busy dealers ignore them.

I found most dealers (say 70%) responded to me with a price over the phone ... with a little cajoling. But, I was ready to buy on the day I contacted them and I knew what I wanted. You're probably right that a busy dealer will ignore a fax, e-mail or phone call -- maybe last month was slow for dealers in LA.

Follow-up is important in getting an answer. Good move. There was a slow down.

that guy traded the Avant in, he did not care about that car at all, it was a trash can on quattro.

I got a great deal in Tucson...

I got my 02 1.8T CVT for $100 over invoice this past August. Plus they gave me a sweet deal on my trade-in ($3000 for an 11 yr old Honda Civic worth $1000).
