Default "How To" on Buying a New or Used Vehicle With Trade In
I know with 110k Villagers from ALL walks of life we must have TOTV'ers that were once in the automobile sales business.

Wouldn't it be great to share the "inside" points of negotiations and purchasing a car from the many dealers in our areas, i.e. Best time of month, Mfg Suggested vs. Invoice, Dealer Holdback, etc.??

The reason I ask that those familiar with these transactions jump in with suggestions is that my neighbor just went through "Car Buying Hell" ... You know, several sales people/managers involved and raking her over the coals till she was totally confused and almost selling her an inferior used car with high miles for a high $$. I personally don't have a problem negotiating as I trade often BUT in talking with others, (men or women) they would rather have a root canal without novocaine than to visit a dealership.

So come on all you guys and gals that were in the automobile sales field and give us the information needed to properly negotiate a GREAT deal!!!!

Thanks in advance ....
