If you are buying a new car go to Costco. For a $25 membership you can get fleet pricing on cars. They even have a book that shows the prices (Fleet price and sticker price). One tip, go there first! If you don't talk to them first you won't know to talk to the fleet sales manager and then you will have a problem getting the fleet price (which is generally $500 over the invoice price).

I like all of the answers.
Be ready to walk out, but know your numbers before you walk in the door and don't let them know it.
Kelly Blue book, Edmund's, Fleet prices, honestly, the 'real' price of a new car is really hard to determine, when all things are considered.
Black book value has allways been my personal favorite, but I generally buy used.
Nothing on the internet will give you the price the dealer is really paying....
Start well below all the pricing you can find and be ready to spend some time at various dealers.

You need to get a hold of a Kelly Blue book. You look at the blue book price, then add or take away the price based on features, or the condition of the car. You then tell them you will buy it for that price, and they will know what you are talking about, and will not bother trying to rip you off. Avoid places that will finance anyone, that sounds really fishy, like they are selling bad cars, and are trying to entice people to buy without thinking, or take advantage of people with poor credit.

i understand my dad is physically powerful at speaking the cost down. he will ask what's the backside they are able to take first. Then my dad will furnish a value decrease than what he intends to pay and that they negotiate cost from there. If he does not like the cost that they arrive to, he will walk out. there became this one time the place my dad talked this sturdy used automobile down the broking mentioned that $4000 became the backside that he might desire to bypass yet he needed it for much less on condition that appeared like a splash plenty for the 365 days variety so my dad walked out. The broking caught him with the help of the arm and mentioned nicely how approximately $3500. That automobile continues to be working 6 years later and the motor vehicle became already like 6 or 7 years previous.

Don't show them that you are anxious - but spend alot of time with them - ask alot of questions but then make them think you are going to leave - to check out other places etc... After you have wasted alot of their time, they usually don't want to let you go and lose more time and money so they will usually start to offer you a deal - do not take it - still hem and haw - and come back with a lower price than what you want to spend and you will usually get them down this way - it worked 3x for me. I got one dealer down from 14,000 to 11,000 and another car I bought new -I got them down alot (but I had good credit and I financed it)
I think I got them down about 4,000.
The above answers are correct - do go at the time of the month that they need to meet certain criteria for their sales. This will allow them to bargain with you even more.

Be patient-don't fall in love with a car. Early in the process, leave them contact information for you, and walk out later. Buy when they need to sell, like at the end of the quarter or end of the month. Know whatthe car is worth. SUV'S and trucks are cheap right now, because they get poor mileage. Go get 'em.

Point out things that are wrong with it, and act liek you really don't need it. In fact, you might even want to try and get kinda mad if they don't drop enough in price haha. Just act like everything sucks about the deal. They will get desparate.

Don't go to "no-haggle" dealers, that basiclly means "read the sticker stupid."
