These dealers add a second sticker to the window with options they added or will add that are unnecessary and overpriced. When you go to a dealer do your homework. Get and estimate of your trade in value at Kelley Blue Book | New and Used Car Price Values, Expert Car Reviews, Carvana.com or a Carmax. Only negotiate from the Manufacturer Label. If the dealer won't, find one that will. When shopping for a used car check Kelley Blue Book | New and Used Car Price Values, Expert Car Reviews, Autotrader.com or Car Gurus.com
Use a dealers internet sales desk. You do all the info exchange via your computer and focus only on the out the door price, the one you already have researched. There are dealers within an hour to ninety minute drive that will give you the price you are looking for and even deliver the vehicle you purchased. I have bought my last three cars this way and in my opinion the individual you are dealing with via their internet sales group is more accommodating and more importantly you’re not sitting there for four hours
