Make sure that you work with the dealership to lower the sticker price of the vehicle. It isn't necessary to pay the sticker price for a vehicle. Dealerships inflate prices to give room for negotiations and to give you the impression you are getting a good deal even though they only give you a small discount.

-
Get a loan approved before going to a dealership
.
This takes
a
long time when buying a car because
of
them having to secure your lender
and
check your credit score. If
you
have pre-qualified for a loan
,
this process will be much faster
.
+
During negotiations, concentrate on the total price instead of the monthly price
.
The dealer can set the monthly payments at any amount, but this will extend your terms, resulting in
a
very high purchase price. You should instead focus on negotiating the best deal on the overall price
of
the car
and
the financing
you
get. After
,
work out a monthly fee you can afford
.
-
Always negotiate the price of a vehicle
.
The dealer isn't expecting to get the asking price. If
you
aren
'
t
a
good negotiator
,
bring
a
good negotiator with you. You need
to
know what a good price is for the desired car beforehand so that
you
can figure out what you'll be willing to pay
.
+
Ask your loved ones what they know
.
What are their recommendations? Do they have regrets and wish they had something else? What information have they heard about different cars that are available? When
you'
re making
a
vehicle purchase
,
this can be
a
great way to gain some information
to
help
you
get started
.
-
Take
a
potential winning vehicle for a spin before buying! Be sure to test drive any vehicle. It doesn't matter if it seems perfect. You can't know without driving it. There is nothing that can replace the feeling
of
driving the
car. You
may notice trouble with the brakes, misfiring, sticking or slipping gears, or
a
number of other factors
that
the dealer didn't tell
you
about
.
+
Make plans to spend
a
lot
of
time in
car
dealerships
. You
do not have to be rushed and go for
a
deal
that
is not good. Give yourself a whole afternoon. If you are pressed for time,
you
should leave and return the following day
.
When you shop for cars, set aside sufficient time to get the process completed. You don't want to rush yourself into purchasing a car that you aren't sure about. Give yourself the entire afternoon to get used to your potential vehicle. If you don't have time to finish the deal, just come back later.

-
Don't talk about down payments, incentives, or trade-ins until
the car
has a firm price
you want.
Smaller things like down payments
,
and incentives are items
that
should
be
subtracted from
the
bottom line. You can get the best price this way
.
+
You should drive
the car you want
to buy
.
You have to do it even if you drove that kind of car before
,
you might not like this particular one. The car you choose could have something wrong with it
that
you would
be
unaware of until after you have purchased
the
vehicle unless you test drive it first
.
-
Don't go car shopping by yourself unless
you
are certain
you
have excellent sales resistance. A friend can provide relief and reduce
the amount of
stress that you face
.
Talk to this person ahead of time, and make sure they understand how much you are willing to spend and
what you
have to have in a car
.
+
You should always test drive your vehicle before buying it. Even if
you
see exactly what
you
want at
the
dealership, test drive it for a few minutes. No
amount of
prior research can compete with first hand experience
.
You may find that the car has a rougher ride than expected or is just not
what you
anticipated
.
-
If you aren't confident you can resist high-pressure sale pitches, do not go car shopping alone. Ask
a
friend or family member
to
come with
you and
help
you
make the right decision. Talk to this person ahead of time
,
and make sure they understand how much
you
are willing to spend and what
you
have to have in a car
.
+
Auto shows are
a
great way
to
narrow down your options. Such events are great for helping
you
compare numerous models
and
makes all at once. You can also gain insights from folks who know cars well. Once
you
visit an auto show
, you
should possess more knowledge on the vehicles that interest
you.
Remember that the vast majority of salespeople must meet quotas either weekly or monthly. Use this to your advantage and shop for your car at month-end. If a salesman has yet to meet their desired quota, they may be extra-eager to close a particular purchase. This can help give you some wiggle room with your negotiating.
