How much will a dealer come down on the sticker price, on a new car?? I don't know how or what to say when dealing on a new car. Need help. They take advantage of women, don't they?

Never bargain down from sticker! Find out the dealer's cost on the vehicle -- many sites can provide that information, Edmunds, Consumer Reports, etc. -- and start about 5% BELOW dealer cost. You should be able to swing a deal on most models for 15 - 2% above dealer cost at most. If the dealer won't budge, get up and leave. There's always a dealer who WILL deal; it may just take a bit of shoe leather to find him.
Models in high demand, such as some Hondas and Toyotas, may not sell at much of a discount simply because demand is very high. If you just HAVE to have a Toyota Prius (hybrid with exceptional gas mileage) or RAV4 (best small SUV on the planet) then you'll have to pay full sticker price of even a bit more.
A dealer will try to take advantage of EVERYONE! Once you've made it known that you are an INFORMED buyer who won't be bullied, they'll usually back off and play a bit more fairly.

Before you negotiate below sticker, first make sure you know what, if any, rebates are available to you. To help answer your question, there is no set amount below sticker where one can purchase because every manufacturer has different mark up. A higher priced car (Escalade) can have over $4,200 in mark up, while a lesser model (Mazda 3) can have about $800. What type of car are you looking for? Keep in mind that websites are often good guides, but the market place determines sales prices, not the internet. I hope this helps.

This is what you do, if you have a trade, that is one thing. But if you have no trade do not pay sticker price. Believe it or not, sometimes depending on where you live, go to a small town dealer, and just hit them with a price that is below sticker. Big town dealers really try to stick it to people. Try a small town dealer and if the price is 25000 hit them at like 21475? depends on what you are looking for.

The first question to ask the salesman when you walk on the lot is: "If I find a car I like, can I see the invoice price?" If so you can bargain from there. But, the invoice is not the rock bottom price. What they don't show are "dealer hold back" and "dealer cash". "Hold back" is given to the dealer just for selling the car, after the invoice price. "Dealer cash" is a bonus to them if they sell enough of that model car. It is more than fair to purchase a common car at invoice, the salesman can eat dinner and put a roof over his kids head and you got a great price.

hi - no it extremely is not unlawful - it extremely is greed. A broker can sell a motor vehicle for any cost they might get. some autos that are very familiar or very perplexing to get are seen to be properly worth extra suitable than the decal cost by the broker and that they are often able to get extra. i've got seen used autos priced extra suitable than new ones of the dazzling comparable sort at some sellers. If the 2500 became for some thing different than the cost of the vehicle, then you definately could attempt to make sure what the cost became for. often times it extremely is a deposit for injury and dirt - often times it extremely is a gas guzzler tax or a luxury motor vehicle tax. those are actually not unlawful yet they do upload to the cost of a leased motor vehicle.

Ignore the sticker. You want to pay no more than 3% over invoice. You can find lots of info at edmunds.com.

PLEASE go to this site. It has all the answers, including the top ten dealer scams.
Generally, if you can get them to make the sticker price the "out-the-door" price, you've done pretty well.

if the car is over 20k you should be able to get about 2000 off if its around 15k at least 1000 and anything over 30k should be at least 3000 depending on the rebates.. rebates should be added to these figures
