[quote=Anonymous]There is no really "good" time to buy a car - sales targets are a moving number, and if the dealer has already met they aren't going to be inclined to give a better deal. The best time is really one that isn't that busy, whatever month.

The key is finding the EXACT car you want, then emailing 3-5 local dealers for an out the door quote. Narrow down to 2, and have them make their best offer. Then ask the lowest to drop $250 off and walk away with a great deal. The difference between the highest price someone pays and the lowest is likely in the hundreds of dollars - you can spend 4 weeks haggling over the last $5 or do all of the above in about an hour and walk away with an excellent deal.

The other trick is to figure out what dealer accessories you want (upgraded floor mats, trunk liner, etc.) and ask them to throw in for free - they get these for pennies on the dollar and are often happy to be rid of them. Also offer to rate 10/10 on every survey - this they ARE compensated on and anything under 10 is effectively a 0.[/quote]
