Good examples for the discussed techniques.
I am actually surprised though, that the car sales man didn't ask how much he could pay. If the FBI negotiator still stuck with his initial offer, I guess he would have suggested some kind of monthly rate or a similar kind of loan that would "fit his lifestyle better".
- Tloewald 14y agoThe way we bought our last car was much simpler (not sure it was better, but i don't know if i could pull it off). We picked the car we wanted and then emailed every dealership within a hundred miles what we wanted and asked for quotes. Once we had quotes we liked we treated the tradein as a nibble. Best car buying experience ever.
- joshfraser 14y agoDid you use CarWoo or did you do it manually? This is a smart approach because it's the only realistic way to comparison shop with dealers who are trained to slow you down and drag out the process before giving you a number.
- Tloewald 14y agoDid it myself on the advice of a friend. It worked like a charm, no bullshit involved on either side. Funniest thing was we had gone to a local dealership to attempt a test drive and they wouldn't even talk to us. The guys who won our business then sourced the vehicle from that same dealership -- they drove it up to our house with the local dealer's plates on it, for something like $6k less than the dealer's sticker price. I left out one detail -- we ran our offer past the other dealers who had responded and none would match it.
