Does anyone work at or DH work at a car dealership?
I'm sick of dealing with shady car salesmen....
Does anyone know one that we could go see and not deal with the whole "tell me what price YOU want to pay and we'll work something out" and then go back to my manager 50 times.
DH and I are open to different dealerships, we're just looking for a decent SUV.
Thanks!

Re: Does anyone work at or DH work at a car dealership?
just go in with the Edmunds.com report or the report fom Consumers.com
Use the invoice price. I never pay more than that. Don't worry, they still make money. There are usually hold backs that they can cash in on.
I have gone in with the price based on Edmunds.com for all of my leases. Whichever dealer could get me the car for that price got the deal.

Never pay more than 300 over invoice price...
SRP is about 2-4k more than invoice...
What are you looking for? Toyota? Honda? etc...

DH worked at one here in GA for a few months.....
your best bet is to be willing to get up and walk away. And truly walk away....a few days later they will call you and say they are able to meet your demands.
We paid less than the dealership paid for our truck since our salesman was a friend of ours.

Re: Does anyone work at or DH work at a car dealership?
Thanks so much everyone!!! I LOVE the thread on how to negotiate a better deal..
Babycote- the trailblazer is one of the cars we're looking at! I'm glad you said you liked it. We also looked at the sister cars to it... I'm blanking on the name- maybe it was Torrent? No... I think Equinox? I dont know we've been looking at so many cars every single night b.c we desperately need to do something. (my 1995 explorer finally passed on right after we moved into our new house)
Thanks again!

HEY YOU!! Long time no tallk. We're looking at the Honda CR-V and Pilot. Tell Evan to ask the dealership if they can give him a deal b/c of his line of work (one guy told my DH he would work with us b/c of this).
