AGAIN IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR EVERYONE!! 3.)if you do need a transportaion quickly you shouldn't with hold that info from the salesperson. tell the salesperson what you need and why and let them show you what they have..if it fits your needs and budget then its a win win.. 4.) here is another article telling you not to tell about the trade..i do not agree with this, and here is why. people do not want to come out of pocket any to buy a car. so what do they do? they finance sales taxes, tag fee's..etc,so when they trade that vehicle back in they have the negitive equity from the depreciaton,plus the taxes and tag fee's etc..so if you are upfront about the trade the dealership can work the figures to "hide" your negitive equity. AGAIN BEING UPFRONT IS THE BEST AND FASTEST WAY TO BUY A CAR! 5.) credit unions are a great way to get preapproved, but there are pro's and con's to everything. here are just a few bad reasons to finance with credit unions. credit unions will can attach the car loan to your savings and checking account so if they wanted to take your money out at anytime to pay the loan they can. they also reserve the right not to release title's to paid off loans till all loans are statisfied. (if you have more than one with them) those are just a few. FOKES THE DAYS OF THE DEALERS MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON CUSTOMERS ARE GONE! MARKUP IN CARS ARE NOT WHAT THEY WERE, IN MOST CASES MARKUP FROM INVOICE TO MSRP IS ONLY IS 7-9 HUNDRED DOLLARS IN YOUR CHEAPER CARS AND 1800 ON AVERAGE ON MOST OTHERS. EVERYDAY I HEAR THAT IT TAKES TOO LONG TO BUY A CAR. IT TAKES THAT LONG BECAUSE OF THE GAME PLAYING THAT GOES ON WITH HOLDING INFORMATION LIKE YOU ARE BEING TOLD TO. i would just like to chime in on this topic..not as a former car guy, but as a current car guy…only in a perfect world the “strategies” or “tips” that you have provided work.

The absolute BEST month-end is December. It's slow and the dealers are trying to get rid of inventory at the end of the year.

Tip- Don't go to your neighborhood dealer 1st! Go last. Last dealer always wins! Stay in your neighborhood. You will eventually need service. Service that is close to home!!
