How to deal with Dealers thread.
Post tips / experiences you've had with beating the jew.
For example, when the dealer calls you back with an improved offer hang up and say, "I'm about to test drive, I'll call you back." This makes them very anxious.
Look out for the 4square method, look it up. They'll try to fuck you with this.
When do you make your offer? Immediately after test driving, on your way out, or a day later over the phone?
I don't have the liberty of doing these things. When you live in buttfuck nowhere anything good for a decent price gets snatched up. I've had cars get sold out from under me when I'm trying to play cool and uninterested several times now.

So you go in and buy, no haggling?
You should probably buy private then
You tell them a reasonable price that you don not want to go over after tax.
If they dont want to agree, leave and go to another dealer. do this for all the dealers in your area, and then wait for a call back on one of them agreeing to it.
>go to see new car
>haggle with the dealer
>he goes back and forth to "manager" (probably just taking a piss each time)
>getting tired
>he sits down with his "best offer". He has the sales doc all filled out except the pricing
>ask him to look at it
>I take it, write "$30,000" on the very bottom line of the sale document. This is about $6K less than his "best" price (which was not out the door price either)
>hand him a check for $30,000 made out to dealership (but not signed)
>tell him I don't care how he gets to the $30K number. either make it happen or not.
>tell him to let me know if it's acceptable
>comes back from "manager", shakes my hand and we have a deal
Thats pretty alpha, user. What car was it?
What is the best way to negotiate a price? A car I want is listed at 7600, KBB says 6800, do I low ball the 7600 or thr KBB price, and by how much? How do I keep it realistic?
More or less, if it's a good price. Depends on the dealer. Private deals are usually the better choice, yeah.
Lie. You lie your assistance off. Feel bad about lying? You need to remember you're buying a liability. A liability that depreciates the moment you leave with it.
"But a car takes you to work so you can make money." Your job is the asset, not the car. The only time your car is an asset, is if it makes you money.
So what do you lie about? Everything. "The guy from the X dealership has a different yet equally appealing car with the same price tag, but they were willing to go down to this much."
They'll argue that it's a different car. So you say "that car is also my first choice. I left them to keep my options open. But, seeing as they're more willing to come down on their price, I'll go back."
They've probably heard this all before, so that was more of an example. But, try to find as many excuses as to why you don't think this purchase is for you. For example, the steering wheel doesn't tilt, and you're "too short." Explain that you're either too close to the wheel, or too far from the pedals to use the vehicle safely. It's not a logical argument, but if the dealer is going after your emotions, you go right back at him.
