[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Negotiate via email. Last car i bought, I researched the best prices through true car as the starting point. I contacted three dealers and when I was ready to buy, I told them that I was going to purchase a car that day and to come with their best and final price. When the lowest came in, I emailed the other dealers to see if they would beat the price. One did.

I do have to mention that I used my husbands name/email when contacting salesmen. [b]When I emailed under my obviously female name, I was quoted prices thousands of dollars higher. [/b][/quote]

That is infuriating. I agree completely about doing your negotiations in advance over email. I had three dealerships competing and all I had to do was show the email around. One flat out told me that he didn't understand how the other dealership could offer such a good deal and he called the manager over there to see if there had been a mistake (in this case quoting the 2 wheel drive price instead of the 4 wheel drive I wanted). He had to say that he couldn't match that price and that I should take it.

The whole thing was so much less painful than the last time I bought a car. [/quote]
