Research
When it comes to negotiating when buying a new car, you should have the knowledge before doing so. Considering a car business dealer, they have the most information compared to you, hence you need to do your part of the search as well.
Use your common sense, whenever a person enters the store and talks about his preferences as to which car he prefers and what his priorities are etc. But, the salesman, no matter how much information he would have, he will never help out. Obviously, why would they put their own company into loss by helping the buyers? So, who would benefit here? The one who is selling the vehicle of course.
Therefore, to take your own benefit you need to take care of two things.
1. Keep your cards close and don’t let them find out what you want and how much you will be willing to spend.
2. Get enough information as you want before entering the dealership, related to the car that you are looking forward towards purchasing.
