[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 3452847, member: 10973"] Decide what you want then go to the CarFax web site to get a blue book value. Take a thousand or two off that and make it your out the door walk away price. Search the net for local dealers that have what you are looking for then start kicking tires. Find one you like and make your offer. No games, say that is your out the door price, if they don't accept it be prepared to walk. Do not fall in love with any one vehicle, you must be willing to walk away even if you really like the car. Have cash on hand, visit your bank or credit union and get a loan pre approved. Also works best at the end of the month or the end of the year. I bought a 2013 Caravan in 2013 with less than 10000 miles for 3000 less than the dealers asking price. Last year I bought a 2010 Chevy Silverado 4x4 for 9000 out the door, blue book on the truck at the time was 13000. Both are now paid for giving us two really nice vehicles and no car payment. Works for me and might save someone a few bucks. [/QUOTE]
