Essentially contact a bunch of dealers via email on the car you want. Do the negotiation over email.

This gives three advantages:

It allows you to on the spot compare multiple dealer prices.
Causes the dealer to have to compete with other dealerships.
Removes all the high pressure sales tactics dealer can use.

Thanks

My husband and I are wanting to get a new car and want to make sure we get the right one for us. I’ll have to do some research and find the best new car dealership for us.

My husband is interested in buying a new Chevy Silverado car. He said that he wanted to make sure that he will be able to buy it without going over his budget. It’s also important for him to make sure that it has features that he’s looking for in a car, so I’ll share your blog with him.

I’m about to purchase a pre-owned car. Financial thing is sorted now. And, you have mentioned about Patience. I totally agree. One shouldn’t rush while buying a car.

Planning to buy a new car by next year, I just really to save up more. I was thinking of a used car but well maintained. But I’m not yet for sure about it. Got a year to think and save up. Anyways, great read.

After reading your article, I really appreciated learning that you should keep that information to yourself, since a lot of dealers will give you a higher price if you say you are paying with cash. The next time I am buying a used car, I won’t say how I am paying for my car until we are at the end of the transaction.

It is important to remember that doing some research can help you get the best type of car for your needs. As I see it, taking the time to do some research can help you find the best type of vehicle that will suit your needs right.

I didn’t know keeping quiet about cash payments could affect that much. I’ll be saving this for when I buy my own car. Thanks a lot!

However, for most I’d still recommend buying used. It’s true that personal finance is personal, but most people who buy new really can’t afford it and are suckered into it by the dealers because they “make it work.” If you can afford to pay in cash or have a ton of money then okay, but for most it’s not a good idea.
