EDIT: FYI - I'm a cash buyer, no trade-in
I'm in the market to buy a new car and was wondering if anyone had advice on dealer negotiation? I want to get the best deal with the minimum amount of time/work on my part if possible.
The last time I bought a new car was in 2008 and I used edmunds.com to find out the dealer cost and negotiated to pay something like $500 over invoice.
It seems that edmunds/consume reports redirect you to truecar and it doesn't look like there's any way to get the dealer cost.
I'm interested in the 2016 Nissan Altima SL with the technology package (premium stereo/navigation/etc) and the moonroof. I have gone to three different dealers and got their prices. The only issue I see is that the car at each dealer is different.
One dealer has exactly what I want. The second dealer added some of their own stuff (pinstripes - yuck, it can be removed, interior/exterior protection, door guards, splash guargs). The third dealer has some extra stuff that are factory installed (lighted kick plate, bumper guards, splash guards, etc). So I have to compare the quotes and see which one is the best deal.
The next step would be to get the price lower. This is where I'm looking for advice.
I would rather do it over email/phone without having to go back to the dealer again except to put the deposit down, sign paper work. So how do I figure out the lowest that a dealer will go?
