Show up with a price in mind and offer that price.

Tip #1 is get Costco pricing. They'll send you to a dealer that will give you their "special" pricing (it was 500 under invoice for me). You can then choose to go with them, or simply use that to negotiate with your preferred dealer. I did that, and they were happy to give me the car for that price.
There are probably other ways to get that or similar pricing, but this is simply the easy way I did it. In all I'd say you'd be making a mistake to pay over invoice for the car. EDIT: Ok, totally didn't properly read your post. USED CAR. Got it. In any case, using online tools to know the price you would like to pay will help (such as the Edmunds TMV calculator, or KBB). Once you know the price you want to pay, I'd knock a certain percentage off of that for negotiating room (~10%?). This is all assuming the car has a clean history (look that up, too). Also, I didn't see the mileage listed on the ad--you'll need to know that to determine what it's worth, so call them and get the mileage if you don't already have it. Lastly, as far as actual negotiating, let them know the price you'd like and don't be apologetic for it. If they don't like it, they'll counter offer, and then you can counter offer, take their price, or walk. Plenty of these things floating around, so you don't have to be super-eager. Also, remember that you're negotiating on the total car price, not financing, not monthly payment, just the TOTAL PRICE. Let them know that you can talk about financing after you've agreed on a price. Hope this helps! Last edited by Psilox; 06-07-2017 at 05:44 PM. Reason: Totally didn't read. |

I do remember that you scored well on the TRD stuff.

To echo Tcoat here... whats wrong with the WRX, if you got schooled on the car just last year and have been making payments on it for only a year or less... are you upside down on the WRX? Problably not considering you have $7-8K in hand for a down payment.... You are going to do what you want, but I'd say drive the wrx a little longer...

That was a right car, right place, right time situation though.

Perfect answer! So no loan and a valid reason for changing. Will you trade it or sell privately?

Just to clarify, he means the car you drove to the dealership in; not the car you want to be yours.

I would love $6500 but would be content with $5500-6000 and if I can't manage to sell it, I'll keep it as a project car and build it up slowly |
