If you are a car salesman, you won't even have this making a move/pursuing question

Early this morning, the KIA rep called me to try to talk to me to go to the dealer to renegotiate again, telling me there is a sale the next 3 days, bla bla...I thought they already gave me a rock bottom/losing money deal?

 

2 days ago the Nissan sales emailed me after I walked out of the dealer after we had an impasse a couple days ago saying I need to think about it. After I didn't reply to the email for a day, the sale left me a message saying 'good news...' guess they conceded?

 

I have only talked to these 2 dealers so far. and I am just trying to buy the one of those cheapest new car. Can't imagine how they will pursue me if I buy an expensive car!

 

Damn! It's seems hard to be a car sales?

 

I am so egoistic I didn't even bother to send an thank-you note after an interview with coveted companies...maybe that's why I am not succeeding?

 

To succeed, we must have thick skin? we much make moves and pursuing the things we want? oh, man, I don't like the ideas...

I know Mercedes doesn't really negotiate. They are transparent with the costs and pricing and it is a very easy process. We got a great deal on ours and knew everything upfront.

 

Outside of that, I love to negotiate on car pricing. I had one dealership offer me a job in my younger years based on it.

just saw your reply...

 

Mercedes...never even think about it...maybe someday

 

wow...your negotiating skills seems so awesome, maybe I could try to sharpen mine. any tips?

Know what you are looking for prior to going in, research the model, pricing, etc. Know what they pay for it and know what a reasonable min. mark up would be. And don't be afraid to walk away. Oh, and if possible shopping during the right times of years, so for the present year's model right after the next year's models have come out. They will be more likely to negotiate to get rid of old inventory. Also shopping at end of month is better as well for hitting quotas.

 

But we know what we want when we go in, usually get bank approval so not using their financing, and know what the bottom dollar we want to pay will be.

And the best negotiating tool of all???

 

Pay cash.

 

Have a number in mind(Got it explained how,) and leave if they aren't going for it.

 

The less you care about getting the car, the easier it is.

Or buy used. That is realy the best bang for your buck since they depreciate so quickly as soon as you drive off the lot. Dealers will sell used cars as well, so don't have to buy through private owners, but they are more likely to negotiate since they most likely got it as a trade in from someone else (if not at a purely only used car lot). You can also look for wiggle room if you buy one of the test cars.

 

That is partly how I have gotten 3 of the deals that I have, I have bought a vehicle they used to test drive and the Mercedes was used for running VIPs around for a couple different events. So because of having some miles on all of them, and the amount varied, I got a further discount since it wasn't brand spanking new.

 

And I agree, absolutely cash is the best negotiator of them all.
