It really isn't that bad if you're in an area with a few dealers. Call each and say "This is what I want, this is the price I know it can be sold at. I don't have time for other options, and if you try to sell me any or haggle on price I'll go somewhere else. When can you have this model with these options available for me to come pickup?" Took me five dealers and I had to drive 45 minutes to get the car from the non-asshole dealer. Easy!
- Zikes 13y agoConsidering the potential savings, you could extend your search area to neighboring states if necessary and still get a good deal.
- prawks 13y ago> Took me five dealers and I had to drive 45 minutes to get the car That's not bad when you compare it to car sales in the past, but really, it's far from optimal. If you read just what I quoted and replace "car" with any other product I'd say it's kind of ridiculous unless the product you're looking for has very specific options and is out of production.
- squidfood 13y agoNot that ridiculous. Too often, I'm faced in a shop with a choice between a large doohickey and a small doohickey and I really want a medium doohickey, and have to drive/phone/search a lot for it.
