Dealer has a 2022 trailblazer due for delivery in May he is asking 23800.
Is this a fair price?

The car market right now is crazy. HArd to get a car. A lot of dealers asking over sticker. You dealer only wants 23800. You did not mention the model but the starting price for an LS (lowest price model available) starts at $24000. So if this is an LS he is apparently asking sticker price. If it is a higher model, then he is asking LESS than sticker. That is unheard of lately and would be a tremendous deal on a higher model. For an example I bought my RS in August of 2021 (for a 2022 model) at full sticker price. Just yesterday a local dealer has two RS models for sale, USED, advertised in the local paper. They were asking $7000 MORE than I paid. More for a used TB than I paid for it brand new. So if you like this model, get it!!

Depends on what trim level and options. LS, LT, Activ, or RS? FWD or AWD? In my opinion, regardless of model, you are getting a good vehicle. Not many vehicles in this price range anymore

Ask your dealer what the sticker price of the vehicle is, then we can better tell you if it's a fair deal based on current market conditions. If thry wont tell you, I would be very hesitant to deal with them.It is LS
The Chevrolet website has an option called "build your own". You go through a series of screens picking your car, color, options, etc., and it gives you a sticker price INCLUDING freight (but not taxes). I "ordered" on it a base LS and did not add a single option, not even something simple like floor mats. No options. Totally base LS. Sticker = $22,995". She has been quoted $23,800. That is only 805 more. Now that very well may be due to a couple of options, or perhaps a little dealer profit as so many are asking more than sticker. In either case, the 23,800 is a VERY fair price in todays difficult market. Plus they are so difficult to get.Ask your dealer what the sticker price of the vehicle is, then we can better tell you if it's a fair deal based on current market conditions.

It is only common sense to ask any dealer who is quoting you a price on a vehicle in transit, how is the vehicle optioned, and what is the sticker $, regardless if it is a good/fair deal or not. This is car buying 101. Regarding the "build your own" tool, car manufacturers have had it on their websites for over 10 years.The Chevrolet website has an option called "build your own".

Yes I am aware the build your own is not a new thing. I was explaining it so Ritabiffar would understand. The point I was making was rather obvious though that her quoted price seemed VERY reasonable even if this particular car has NO options, based upon build your own.It is only common sense to ask any dealer who is quoting you a price on a vehicle in transit, how is the vehicle optioned, and what is the sticker $, regardless if it is a good/fair deal or not.
