Replying to: snakeweasel (Jul 23, 2006 9:33 am) If the sales person throws out the first number, and it's several hundred (or more) off my researched number, the same result. I thank them for the time and we part ways. Just as an FYI, unless I tell the dealership I've been peaking at numbers here and elsewhere, or that I've been perusing numbers in the newspaper, they've rarely made an initial offer even close to the number I've researched. They usually come out of the shoot with a number way high until I divulge the fact that I've been shopping a little.

I thank them for the time and we part ways. Thats where I start negotiating the price to get them to come to, or under my price. If I can do that then its usually faster than driving to the next Buyota Benz dealer. Even if they come in at or under my researched price I will haggle. |

Replying to: kirstie_h (Jul 24, 2006 6:48 am) I think the story about the sheetrock guy getting a big injury settlement kind of threw us for a loop (BTW....I've heard that same story in more than one place, from more than one person...).
