poor advice. First and foremost, the dealer invoice and what the dealer’s cost was, is completely different. The dealership gets all sorts of incentives from the car company below that dealer invoice. Beware! You can get a better deal the paying the dealer invoice, this should be your goal!!

i like to get cars from people who have not driven it to much and is low on the mileage. I get great deals that way and the car is just what I want and need to do what it is suppose to do for me. I have bought 2 cars this way and it is worth it for me.

I worked at Mazda dealership for several years and I worked closely with the salesmen and filed all of the paperwork that has the price quotes on it and they have different pricing plans. X Plan and D plan and so on. Never Never tell them that you have a trade and never tell them what you want for a car note, negotiate what they want to sell the vehicle for. I witness the salesment get fired every friday because they couldnt keep up with sales. The salesman job is to SALE they arent on your side, if you dont buy the car someone else will. The dealerships keep a scoreboard in the Sales Managers office keeping score like a ball game…The above publisher must be a salesman..Take it from a women who knows….

This is foolish advice! If you want a fair deal and you don’t want to “play games” then don’t be a game player. Let the dealer know oyu are there to buy right then and introduce your trade early so they have ample time to get a fair nuber and make a firm, fair committed offer for a car that is in stock. If you try to beat the dealer, you will get a worse deal than if yOu are upfront and informed. $300-$500 over invoice on a 25, 35, 45, 55k plus item is not a reasonable profit margin given the cost to maintain the inventory level and services oyu expect if something goes wrong. Neiman Marcus makes over
$500 on shoes that cost $1000. Mattresses are marked up 400-600 percent. Just like naything else, don’t be a jack and waste time with no intent to make a fair transaction. Asking “what is your best brice?” is the fastest way to get resistance from the dealer and will net you a worse deal than being upfront and informed!
