Research multiple makes and models.
Avoid choosing just one vehicle, keep your options open to the best possible deal.
Compare outgoing models, in most cases they will be cheaper. Find out the MSRP and factory invoice price of all the vehicles you are interested in.
Research your financing options before visiting the dealership - often independent lenders will have the best offer.
Visit dealerships at the end of the month or year. Dealers will be more likely to lower prices in order to reach sales goals.
Always remember you are the decision maker, do not allow the dealer to pressure you into anything that doesn’t feel like a good deal.
Feel free to walk away at any time, whether it’s just to think things over or to try another dealership.
Try not to get too excited about any one vehicle. If the dealer sees your interest in a specific vehicle he will be less likely to lower the price.
Negotiate the complete price of the vehicle, including all dealer’s fees.
Do not allow the dealer to include rebates, incentives or other discounts in the price negotiation.
Learn the value of your trade-in before visiting the dealership, print this information out to have on hand.
As with price discounts, the value of your trade-in should not be discussed during the vehicle price negotiations.
Decline add-ons, new cars should not require rust proofing, sealants or any other special protection.
Consider trim options carefully, if you don’t need an accessory request a vehicle without it. Things like A/C, stereo, and special interiors can increase the price of a vehicle by thousands.
Buy only the vehicle you truly want, don’t settle.
Pay only what you can afford, you should determine this amount before you begin shopping.
Print out all the information you find, take it with you to the dealership and refer to it as needed.
Deduct the value of your trade-in and any available discounts after the complete price of the vehicle has been agreed upon.
Read the contract carefully before signing. Ask questions about anything that is not 100% clear.
Basically, research everything you can before visiting a dealership. Make your decisions based on the information you have compiled and what will work best for your needs. Do not allow the dealer to control the situation - you are the decision maker, you have control!
