bThe negotiation phase and the dirty tricksb

After you made your research via the Internet its important you make some phone calls to car dealers and ask for some written offers to be sent to you via the fax or email for the car of your dreams That way you can compare prices between several dealers without being pressured by a salesperson

You would be much better off selling your old car yourself rather than to trade it in through the dealer because the dealer will have to earn some money on it as well

Remember everything is a negotiable car too Buying a new car is tricky from the moment you step into the car dealership arena you might be manipulated by scam artists well trained sales persons that will use every trick in their fat book of tricks to extort every last Dollar out of your bank account

There is one well known trick they teach in car dealers sales courses its called throwing a lowball in this tactic a customer is offered a very good price on a car Perhaps as much as 500 below competitors prices The good deal however is not genuine its only purpose is to cause a prospect to decide to buy at this dealership and not from the other dealers Once the decision is made a raft of purchase forms are filled out extensive financial terms are arranged The dealer knows customers develop a range of new reasons to support the choice they have now made

Then something happens All of a sudden an error in the calculations is discovered It might be the salesman forgot to add in the cost of the air conditioner and if the customer insists on having it then 500 must be added to the price

The cover up operation is played sophistically some times they let the bank handling the financing find the mistake other times the boss is not approving the deal because wed be losing money They make it look as if its not that big mistake as its a relatively small percentage of the price of the car and as they stress out it only brings it to be equal to competitors

The impressive thing about the lowball tactic is its ability to make a person feel pleased with a poor choice If anyone tries to change the originallyquoted terms or talk you into buying a different vehicle just say no and go somewhere else
