Negotiating Tips for New Car Buying - Top 10 List

Here is my top 10 list of negotiating tips for new car buying. These strategies are used by savvy new car buyers but there are likely some ideas here that you haven’t thought of.

1. First, you need to be comfortable with the salesman you are working with. Pay attention to how you feel about them. We usually know within a very short period after meeting someone whether or not we’ll get along with them. If you feel uncomfortable about your salesman don’t ignore that feeling, there’s probably a reason why.

2. This is one of the negotiating tips for new car buying that if ignored gets people into trouble. Decide on a limit ahead of time and if your limit is reached, leave.

3. Open negotiations with an offer that is low but in reasonable range.

4. Take your time and don’t let the salesman rush you. They often try to make it seem urgent like you’re going to lose out if you don’t buy immediately. Don’t fall for that. You have all the time in the world and you can very likely go to a number of other dealerships for the same vehicle.

5. This is one of my favorite negotiating tips for new car buying… If you feel like leaving for any reason leave. In fact you could even plan ahead of time to “unexpectedly” have the need to leave for lunch or some other reason and sort of leave the salesman hanging.

6. Be willing to walk out if you don’t like the deal or you feel like they’re hassling and pressuring you. If they don’t chase you down before you get to the door go somewhere else.

7. This is one of the most basic negotiating tips for new car buying – Decline all the extras they try to throw in.

8. Exude confidence.

9. Know the vehicle you want ahead of time and ignore all attempts to try to steer you toward anything else.

10. Be ready to talk to another salesman or manager who usually comes out to try to improve the deal before reaching a final price. This is just a tactic, don’t let it throw you.
