The key to getting a good deal when buying cars is to do your homework.
Find out all you can about hidden tricks that dealers pull, because they
have a habit of promptly counterbalancing any discounts or savings that
you think you've fought for once you have signed. Car dealers spend millions
training their salesmen to squeeze the most out of customers, and if you
are oblivious to the tricks they use, you could end up being overcharged
by thousands. Find out the dealer's real cost on the car along with the
prices that in the know buyers are paying for that car, then research
any other finance items you might want, such as extended warranties or
a loan. Check out our car loans guide. When you manage to find a suitable
interest rate, be assured to get pre-approved at that lender before you
start negotiating with dealers. To compare further still some excellent

Buying Cars
Once you have done your homework and you feel ready to buy, you are ready
for the negotiating process. If you've done your homework correctly, this
process should result in less negotiating due to the salesman understanding
that you have researched. To bring the price down use the Internet to
get at least 6 price quotes before you start negotiating. When you get
to the contract stage, be sure to look out for "payment packing”
this is when the dealer attempts to slip in hidden charges into your loan.
To avoid this common rip-off, calculate your own monthly payments first.
Finally, always negotiate the price of the car, not the monthly payment.
