The "build your car" tools on the websites always represent the "as low as" price. It assumes all possible rebates, many of which you aren't eligible for. If you were a military veteran who recently graduated college with great credit and an account at a credit union with a pre-existing arrangement with that dealership, and are also trading in a same-brand car while trying to purchase a model with flagging sales, then tada, you can easily get the "as advertised" price.
Edit: this is incorrect. See replies.
- hnnewguy 12y ago>The "build your car" tools on the websites always represent the "as low as" price. Wrong. The "build your car" tool is generally the MSRP, since it's on the manufacturers site, which will be substantially higher than price you'll have to pay at the dealer.
- bmelton 12y agoY'know what? You're absolutely right. That's what I get for answering before my first cup of coffee. I had somehow mentally conflated the "browse our cars on the lot" page that many dealerships have with the "build your car on our site" page. Thanks for the correction.
