[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This American Life has an episode on car sales people. The best time to buy is the end of the month when they are desperate to make quotas. There are other insider tips.

Also, paying off a car loan ups your credit score. [/quote]

I've been in the car business for 12 years. I will NOT name my dealership explicitly, but it is located in Tyson's Corner. Here are three tips I tell my family members and friends before they buy a vehicle:

1. You should try to pay in pennies because it is a lot easier to save money by not... giving them all the pennies :twisted: . The chances of them counting it are very slim. If they do, you say it was a simple mistake and give them the rest of the pennies.

2. Refuse all water that is offered to you. They are trying to get in your brain by getting into your hydration. Water triggers buying. Do NOT hydrate for a minimum of 4 hours before you go into the dealership. Make sure to urinate before going in. Bathrooms also trigger buying.

3. Walk into the dealership right before closing. After going on a test drive of three separate vehicles, and asking all the possible questions about each of the vehicles, ask for a moment alone with your spouse. Take another 20-40 minutes, "discussing" with them. Then, this is where the magic happens. Call over your salesperson, and tell them you have to think about it because you have been provided with too many options.

4. Walk in slow-motion back to your car, as if you are in an action film and the protagonist is reminiscing back on his late lover. The salesperson will then come up to you, and offer you the best deal in the state. Yup, the whole state.

Let me know how this works out for you! Would love to hear about the deal! :D [/quote]
