You know you don't have to walk into dealers anymore, right?
You can view online inventory & send an offer without ever leaving your desk... |

I have a good friend of mine that worked for a dealership as an IT guy.
#1 is true, they make more off financing than the car sometimes. #4 Never trust anyone at a dealership, even if you work there. |

Bought my truck from a dealer so big the owner was the saleman and he had one car on the showroom floor and about 20 trucks on the lot. I said give me your best price and write it down. Walked into the office and came up with a number and used his adding machine to print out a tape with tax, title, license etc...Walked next door to the bank to get a check. Whole thing took 10 minutes. He drove my other truck home and I drove the new one, the mechanic picked him up. Price was much better than anything else I got a price on.

3: I'm looking at several other dealers for the same model car and am looking for the best price.
A couple weeks ago I pitted two dealerships, they didn't mind. The one knocked 13k off of the sticker right away and the other was 8k. |

You need to read the fine print to see if there's a "penalty" for paying it off early. And they probably also tacked on a "loan acquisition fee" so they're already getting you up front. A bank loan probably isn't going to give you a better rate than a new car dealer, so you'd be paying it off with cash. |

Negotiate for price letting them assume you're going to finance. Then do the same at another dealer. go to the higher price one and ask them to beat the lower price. Get your lower price then tell how you're buying. |

I've not bought a lot, but the last one might have been the easiest. My bank is so prevalent in the area, most dealerships are now set up to originate the loan. They asked, I told them what bank I was using. Bam. Only bad thing is that the dealership screwed up the rate. Got a call from the bank a week later, rate decreased by 1%.

You need to read the fine print to see if there's a "penalty" for paying it off early. And they probably also tacked on a "loan acquisition fee" so they're already getting you up front. Check very carefully and make sure that your lender does not use the "Rule of 78". Loans using the rule of 78 have the interest front-loaded. If you keep your car for 3 years and trade it in, you still have a whopping big balance left, because your car payments have been paying mostly interest......and under the terms of the loan, interest once paid is non-refundable. The other thing that dealers in this area do is tack on a "processing fee" of $795.00, which is nothing more than an additional dealer mark-up. And they absolutely will not back off on it. Car salesmen hate it, but there is nothing they can do. And they don't get a commission on it, either. Just another way that the dealers screw the public. |

I spent a lot of years as GM of dealerships and know a guy who owns a Subaru deslership well. There isn't that much markup, and they sell. There isn't 5 grand of profit at sticker price. I think it may be a 2-3 thousand dollar deal. They would only discount $500 for repeat customers and family members. They sell them like crazy, take care of you if you have any issues, and aren't making a killing. The guy I know who owns the dealership has already shown customers his profit minus a few hundred you don't see on the back end and bonus money if they sold enough units. Most people would buy from them for the honesty then. And repeat customer after repeat customer, shows they must feel that they are paying a fair price.

Good luck, Subaru dealers aren't really known for budging off of msrp.
I wasted two days to get a grand knocked off mine. Had I not needed the car for work I would have walked away and bought something else entirely. I'm to cheap to buy the car I really wanted so no sti for me. FYI the dealer I bought from wouldn't even budge on the used subarus. They had a used wrx with 17k miles on for 1k less than new. I had offered 25k for it and they told me to have a nice day. They ended up selling it for 27,800 plus ttl,about a month later. |

I can confirm that. When we where buying our Forester they balked at my offer, and told me flat out they will sell the car at sticker, if not to me then to someone else. I ended up at another dealer where they were more willing to haggle. Also while we were at the first dealer a perfectly stereotypical flannel wearing lesbian couple showed up to car shop. It was awesome. |

Best way to get any discount is to email. Email your 4 nearest dealers and make sure they know you are doing it. At the end of the month whoever is closest to a bonus tear will sell you a discounted car.

Went into about 4 dealers today said my normal above routine got the cold we don't want your business you're too informed attitude every time. Guess if they don't feel they can make 5k off you they don't care. And another thing, since when is the window sticker the final price minus a few hundred what happend to haggling price? Asked several dealers today is that the best you can do and they all didn't even want to talk price it was window sticker or nothing. They all let me walk. Oh well the hunt continues. Yep...I've gotten a couple of used cars in the past 6 months. I don't even leave my house until I've a) found what I want b) made an offer (pending decent test drive/condition of car) via email. Those that didn't want to deal over the computer, I informed that I won't be coming to their lot. I found two salespeople that would deal via computer and guess what? They got my business. I didn't waste an inordinate amount of time driving around, bullshitting professional bullshitters, and dealing with typical sales tricks. I was happy...they were somewhat happy, and I'm sure they made a few dollars and I saved a fuckload of time. |

Just had the fourth car in ten years hit and totaled. I have decided we will be buying new cars this go round. I am not enjoying the experience. Everybody says online is the way to go, but shady dealers are shady online as well as off.
The trouble with online deals is that about half the time when you show up to buy they have added 3500 to the price with add on crap, forgot to mention that you have to be a lesbian eskimo with tribal papers to get it, or swear that somebody showed up half an hour ago and bought it, but they have another one just like it for 2K more. |
