Going car shopping unprepared is just asking for yourself to be taken advantage of.
Do not shop at dealers that have any type of added &profit on the vehicle window sticker.
Jenkins Dealers are notorious for this practice.
Look over the dealers internet site for the vehicle you may want. I have found that dealing only with the internet manager at a dealer will get you your best pricing and this all starts with a phone call.
This process will save you time, money and brain damage.
Some dealers tell you anything online or over the phone, but when you get there all sudden that car was sold. I immediately walk out.
