10 Insider Strategies Car Dealers Don't Want You To Know When Buying A Car

Be Willing To Walk Away

Unless you find yourself in extreme circumstances, a car deal isn’t a life-or-death situation. If you pressure yourself into thinking that you have to walk out of the dealership with a car no matter what, you might end up convincing yourself to accept a less-than-ideal price in order to walk away with keys in hand. If you take your time and go into negotiations knowing that you can walk away with no harm done, you’ll find negotiations are much easier and less nerve-wracking.

Be A Courteous Customer

Car dealers have a bad reputation for being predatory and coercive. Because of this, many customers enter negotiations with bad attitudes and end up acting aggressive towards dealers. While you might think this could get you a better deal, it’s more likely to make a dealer less willing to work with you on the final price. If you are courteous and let a dealer know that you’ll leave them a good review, you might end up with some perks you hadn’t considered asking for at all.
