I bought a new car last summer. I went to 1 dealer to find exactly what I wanted. I then sent out around 25 emails/website inquiries to dealers describing the car, trim level, with the exact items/options I needed on the car, asking for their best out the door price, all while using an email alias. All while sitting at home. All the dealers gave me an out the door price, and some came back with a price and would say something like we won’t lose a deal on price. So I had a few dealers bidding against themselves. After a couple of weeks, I took the lowest offer and drove down to Tampa to look at the car and test drive it, then purchased it. After buying the car, I deleted my email alias so none of the dealers could send me offers or future emails. This was for a brand new car that I was familiar with and knew exactly what model trim, colors, etc that I wanted.
Next year when I want a new car, I would do the same thing
