you don’t need to pay someone to do this all you need to do is go to the dealer ask to see there invoice and pay about 2%-5% over and they will treat you right and that will be the best kind of deal out there, and i will explain why, first if you have abroker do it for you the dealer is not going out of there way to help you or them. second if you buy a car and the dealer doesnt make any profit, you will never get the service and attention you deserve and should expect. also if you ever hav any problems with your car the dealer isnt going out of thier way to help you. so as i said before go directly to the dealer yourself, if you know someone in the car business by all means bring them with you, if not go on your own ask to pay between 2 and 5% over (you choice ) invoice and let them earn your business. you will be better taken care of and over the long run the will welcome you concernes and problems and even help. I wish everyone could understand we are not trying to hurt any one we just deserve a fair profit and will be happy to accomodate a customer when they are upfront and honest with everything.
good luck,and ley me know how you make out.
p.s. dont listen to anyone else.
chriscraft had some ok advice, but if you think you can get 8000.00 of a car iwould sat you are insane. first the average markup is about 1500.00-3000.00 not that we make that much , but thats were we start because of the people like chriscraft who think its a game, its a business transaction and we have to mark it up so we can come to a compromise. the average car deal is between 500- 1000 thats all. so i would not try and start at 12000 on a 20000 dollar car they will say let me show you something else. be realistic and you will do fine.
and oh yeah I AM A DEALER and i do this everyday.
AND THATS A BOUT 4000.00 WORTH OF ADVICE AND ITS FOR FREE.
get your numbers figured out , do some little research , find out what bottom dollar is , go in make your offer , and don’t be scared to get up and walk out .. a walking customer is a customer that stands out . if they don’t stop you , they don’t wanna sell a car and keep walkin to the next dealer ,, hold your ground , maybe offer the salesman a $100 bucks bonus , if you tell him your shoppin around and NO one beats his deal you’ll throw in 100 cash
There is a broker for every market, to negotiate prices and get you an excellent deal, but $100 ain’t gonna cut it my friend…sorry!
ok, cash only ok? email me.

There are a few tricks to successfully buy a car and leave with a good feeling. Buying a car is like a game. Give and take, but don’t be afraid to walk away from a deal. It’s your money, if the dealer wants your business, they’ll treat you right.
First of all, start researching, the more you know about the car, the more control you have over the situation. Salesmen look for suckers, if you know what you’re talking about when you go in, they will be more likely to work with you. However, there’s a caveat, don’t pretend to know something about a car that you have no idea about. You’ll have no hope of snagging a bargain if you do that. The salesperson will pounce on any opportunity he or she sees.
Once you’ve researched some vehicles, start looking and comparing features. The more information you have, the better prepared you’ll be to haggle. After you’ve seen a few different types, pick a price range or a specific price and stick with it. Dealers never pay retail for a car. It’s marked up by a percentage, a little research will give you an idea of what it is. Now let’s see what happens:
Now that you’ve done your homework and are ready to buy, visit your favorite dealership and meet your salesperson. A good salesperson will find out who you are, what you want and take a general interest in your needs. This is where the research can be valuable. Ask questions that you already know the answers to, if the salesperson doesn’t volunteer information before you do. You know the answer, so you’ll be able to spot a lier just like he would have spotted you if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A word of caution, unless you really don’t want the car, it’s not generally a good idea to bluntly point that out to the salesman right away. Some may disagree with that, but I’ve seen lots of deals go sour over much less.
Drive the car, have the salesperson accompany you if you’re alone. It establishes trust, don’t expect to take it out by your self right away. Follow the traffic laws while you’re out and don’t do anything stupid. If you want to test the acceleration or braking capabilities of the car, tell the salesperson first, something like, “I’d like to see how the brakes work in an emergency situation” then drive to an area where there is not a lot of traffic and do your thing. Slamming on the brakes in the middle of rush hour without mentioning it to your new friend might just cause him or her to leap from the passenger seat and push you out.
When you get back, now is your chance to show what you’ve learned. You’ll probably be invited into an office and now you can talk about what you know. “I like this car, Car X, because of this, however I drove Car Y and I liked this about it.” Blaa, blaa, blaa. Now is not the time to talk price. Tell the salesperson you’d like to think about it overnight, if your dead set on this particular car, just leave for a few hours, If you look serious, he isn’t going to sell the car while you’re away unless someone walks in with a fistful of bucks and drives it off no questions asked (it could happen, we’ll cover that later).
When you return, you may be surprised to find the vehicle has been washed and shined up for you. This is a ploy to make you want to take it home NOW. Don’t fall for it.
It’s always a good plan to ask to drive it again. Perhaps the salesperson will let you drive it by yourself this time. Don’t protest however if he wants to go with you, lots of dealerships have policies about that, you should be familiar with that by this point (either you’ve asked, the salesperson has told you, or it’s plastered on the walls of the showroom.)
Once you return and sit down again, ask if the price listed is the best price you can get. If the salesperson thinks you’re serious, he’ll knock a few bucks off the price. Now you can negotiate. Make a counter offer that is well under your target price. If the car is $20,000, and he takes $500 off initially (making the price $19,500) recall your price range, say between $12,000 - $17,500, with $17,000 as the maximum amount you’ll pay for the car. Offer $12,500. It’s a little low but he’ll either accept it or reject it. If it’s rejected, increase in $1,000 increments until your price is met or the sales person gets annoyed. Remember, it’s a game, if he wants to sell it, he’ll sell it.
If you can’t agree on your target price, walk away. There are other cars out there, perhaps one you like even better. Have fun with it. Sooner or later you’ll find what you’re looking for and both you and the salesperson will come out of the deal feeling good about it.
Oh, I almost forgot, if the salesman sold the car you were looking at before you got back, it probably wasn’t meant to be and you should probably take your business elsewhere.
It always helps to have a friend in the business too
There’s $100 worth of advice and it didn’t cost you a thing.
Here’s free advice. Go to all of the dealerships that have cars you’d like to buy. Start with the car you want most….test drive the car, have the salesman talk about the car…go into the office and talk prices. Tell him the lowest price you will pay for the car and if they don’t agree, say thank you and go to another dealer. Also let them know you’d like to purchase a car today. When they spend time with you and know that you will shell out 20K plus today, they’ll make that sale for that low price if their manager lets them. Going from dealer to dealer…eventually you’ll get a car at the price you want. My dad did that. He bought my first truck just looking around one day and gave the guy a low figure and the guy agreed, my dad was soooo surprised he bought it that day.
go to http://www.reply.com and generate a lead and local dealership will contact you and you can get diff quotes from them and see which gives you the best offer,
Save your self a c-note and read carefully.
This applies to all cars and dealers and when and why they can discount a car.
Ready.
If the dealer has the car you want, in stock and also has many more like that on his lot, he will take an invoice + $500 deal. Any day of the week.
If it is a hard to get car, that he has to order, and you are waiting 3 months before it comes in, guess what, you are going to pay MSRP or close to it, if it’s a really hot car, MSRP plus a surcharge.
Simple rules of supply and demand.
Learn how to negotiate and be flexable. Buying cars is fun.
Don’t rob yourself. Happy hunting.
