That’s the best advice. Agree and some extend the warranty.

Not really they’re not going deal unless they get what they want.

I have never purchased a new car, always looked for low mileage pristine used.
Refuse to take the tax hit on new. The only new cars I drove were leased when working. My present car was ridiculously low mileage, and in as new condition. The price was absolutely right for the condition, so I never even tried to get anything off. Did ask and get extras though. Had car ceramic coated, new winter floor mats, half a year's road tax, full tank of gas, and a limited edition model car for my grandson who was with me. Dealer and I were both more than happy with the deal. He got his price, and I got more in extras than I would have ever got off the car. |

I am a car geek. I have helped several non-automotive friends buy new cars. I help them find the right car for them (lots of test drives) and then i research current prices. When it come time to negotiate, they wait in the lounge.
I should offer my services for a modest fee. I bet for $250 I could save people thousands. |

Could you explain your insult? I have been very sucessful negotiating deals for myself and others. If one believes TruCar stats, I paid the least of any reported buyer of a 2017 Ford F150 King Ranch.

Congratulations on your 2017 Ford Pickup! As for TrueCar (I assume that's what you meant, as "TruCar" is a company in India, that doesn't really exist yet), I wouldn't recommend their stock. Their IPO went off at about $9/share if I remember correct and their business model fizzled and never caught on. Their stock has been under $3 for while. |

I've bought two new cars in my life; in 1972 and again in 1975 (well three actually: I bought the wife a new Toyota Rav4 for her retirement gift). Lightly used is always the best; they don't depreciate as fast (some actually appreciate in value), insurance is usually less and cash paid is always better than a loan. Just know what you want and what you want to pay, and know something about the vehicle you're looking at. |
