[quote=Anonymous]The last two cars I purchased were all through email.

- Do the research on the car you want. 
- Test drive your top choices. 
- Toward the end of the month email the e-sales department of the local dealers that have the vehicle and trim you want in stock. 
- Say that you are going to be buying X vehicle (with trim and color) in the next seven days and you want to know their best and final number.
- Compare the numbers and make the appointment to purchase. 
After you settle on a price, then you negotiate financing. 
- find out your scores on your own
- ask them which credit bureau they use to pull scores and ask what is the rate for your score range.

Lastly, if you are a woman, try to hide that fact. I adjusted my name to initials to make it seem like I was a male (example AL instead of Alexis) and the car price I received was 5K lower than when I emailed with my full name.

Also, you may get a better price further away from your home. You don't have to service your car at the dealer where you purchased. If you save 5K - it might be worth it for a bit of a road trip. Hope this helps!  [/quote]
