1. Buy used--new cars depreciate (spelling) in value the minute you drive off the lot.
2. If the dealership sells on commission buy towards the end of the month--more likely to deal with you to get sales.
3. Go to the library and look up what the dealer paid for that vehicle. Bargain from that price.
4. Don't buy the extras--extended warrantee, rust proofing, etc.
5. Buy n the winter months. Their sales generally go down and they are looking for sales.
6. If you are trading in your vehicle look up the value of that car in the Kelly Blue Book.
7. You can usually get a better interest rate through your bank than through the dealership.
8. Double check the fine print. On our van they tried to sneek in the extended warrantee after we told them repeatedly we didn't want it. Dh was upset to say the least. We told them we were walking, and the manager gave us coupons for free oil changes.
