Replying to: akirby (Jun 07, 2007 7:22 am) I know Toyota is spose to be the number one car but I see them sometimes offer $3-4,000 cash back on Camry's. You almost never find an accord discounted below probably $1,-2,000. You never see an Accord where they tell you your saving $4,000 off msrp.

The key to getting a good price is to EDUCATE yourself. Know before you go how much you are looking to finance and how much that will be per month. Use payment calculators. Always negotiate up from your price. Always have a good idea what the invoice cost of the specific car you want to buy is. Always have a good idea of what the car you want is going to cost you in round numbers per month. Don't let the dealer get you into conversations about how much you want to spend per month. This marks you as uneducated. Respond by saying "I'm only looking to test drive today." ALWAYS ALWAYS reject dealer added accessories and "market value adjustment" Always remember that it is more important to get the car you want then to settle for the one you don't over a few hundred dollars. Just be rationaly about it. If you pay a fair price as indicated by the TMV on Edmunds, the be happy that you get the car you wanted. Don't let your ego about saving an extra few dollars stop you. Remember that your time has a money value also. Never walk into a dealership and say "just give me your best price" this marks you right off as someone who didn't do their research and you will end up paying more. Always be ready to make an offer. You have to be specific, or the dealer will just try to hammer you to get you to agree to the number he just presented. Never say "Well I need you to do a little better on the price" Dealer will just respond with "Wow, I wish I could, but we never let this model go for less than what I'm showing you...." then dealer makes you an offer and you surrendered your position. Say things like "I would BUY this car for an extra $200 etc. discount" or "I would by this car if you gave me another $___ for trade in value. Remember though that you should negoiate the selling price of the car you are being seperate from the car you are trading. Until you say you are ready to buy that specific car then you will not get the best price. Never negoiate the monthly payment the dealer can do all sorts of things to lower the monthly payment without lowering the price of the car. People say they hate to negoiate but if that were try then dealers would have stopped doing it a long time ago. You need to accept the fact that you want to negoiate and you need to learn the right way to do it.

that a Camry like optioned to a Milan will cost you about $3,000 more. You need to ask yourself is it really worth it? If it is to you, go for it by all means. This holds true for any vehicle by the way. Buy the car YOU really like and want, not what the media tells you to buy or the masses may buy. There are many choices in this segment to choose from. Test drives are free!
