Answer 2

negotiate your trade in seperately. Don't combine them because they won't give you as much. Then find the car you want, get on the internet and see what it is worth. Also if you can get the VIN # check it out to make sure it is not a salvaged car from LA after the hurricane last year or other major accidents. Then call around to a few other dealers, see if they have the same car and what they are selling it for. Then go back and give him the lowest price and see if he will beat it. Also act as if you $$ limit is less then they are trying to get you to pay. I did this and to get me to sign he took another $1000. off the price so I got a Pontiac Montana Transport for $11,000. and Blue Book valued it at $14,000. I also found another dealer offering it for $12,000. so told him that unless he could do better I would buy from them. He also threw in a 6 month warranty. I even asked what they paid for the car and he showed me. So ask, you might just get told.

Then I sold him my car for $500.00 When I checked the week before they were only going to give me a $250. as a trade in.

You make it clear that if you don't like you won't buy.

Answer 3

Just know what you want, and check everything out on the car. And be sure to look around. Don't just buy the first car you come too.

Answer 4

After you get approved for the loan and they've got all the paper work ready for you to sign, act like you changed your mind. Or tell them your not sure and you want to think about it some more or look around some more. They will fall all over themselves dropping the price trying to get you to buy it after you got their hopes up of makeing that commision.
