New and Used Car Negotiating Tips

  • Know what you want and how much it costs. There are many websites that offer car research that include a vehicle’s fair market value with and without certain features so be sure to do some research on a new or used car’s price before you visit the dealership.
  • Don’t tell anyone what your budget is. You will lose the advantage right away if you offer this information to the salesman. You may see a car that you like that costs less than what you’ve budgeted for. A salesman will most often try to sell you a car that is right around your budget or even over.
  • Ask for a better deal. Ask the salesman if the price of the car can come down more or if the dealership is willing to negotiate a better deal on financing. It never hurts to ask for a better deal when negotiating the price of a car.
  • Walk away if you don’t like the deal. If there is something about the deal or the salesman that you just don’t like, don’t be afraid to walk away.
