[QUOTE="Shinneryfarmer, post: 4019331, member: 46291"] Negotiating price on new cars is easy, if you have the fortitude to do it. Most don't, they see something they think they got to have and succumb to the sales pitch and pressure to get it. I research the type of vehicle I want, mechanical issues, average selling price, financing ( in my younger days). Then I find what I'm looking for, make a out the door reasonable offer. Don't haggle if they wont accept, walk out out after leaving your name and number. And stating that's my offer if you change your mind call me. My last new vehicle purchase was exactly that at three dealerships. The wife and I decided to get some lunch and the first dealership called and said they would accept our offer. Before we finished lunch the 3rd dealership we visited called and would accept our offer. My wife liked the last one best of all so we went back and purchased it for the out the door offer. That was also the first vehicle I financed in 15yrs because I got 0% interest. Paid payments 9 months then paid it off, just for a credit score bump. PS: Dealerships have a sales quota to meet per month if rated by manufacturer. Better to shop at the end of the month, if they haven't met that quota more willing to make the sale. [/QUOTE]
