<prompt> Human: I have never been in this position before and I am not sure how to maneuvernegotiate to get the best deal. Thank you.  <response>: While this sub is well-intentioned, a lot of people posting on here have clearly not purchased a car before, at least not recently. Spamming 20 dealers with emails about how you want the best price isnt going to do jack. Think about it for a second, why would a dealership respond to that with their best price? They know youll just take that and email the next guy over and use their price as leverage for an even better deal. Dealerships are a lot of things, brainless isnt one of them.If you want a great deal, honestly, check out costcos car program. Its fantastic and Ive gotten absurdly fair deals through them with almost no work on my end. The best part about their program, besides the price, is that they pride customer service and have only put me in touch with dealerships that have actually been pleasant to work with.If you dont want to go that route, research prices and then head into a dealership with favorable reviews and deal in person. Youll get much farther doing that rather than emailing 50 different places. Dont be that guy that steadfastly refuses anything besides rock-bottom prices, they need to make a profit as well. Find a fair compromise and go from there. Dont let them sell you add-ons because theyre marked up a ridiculous amount. If you really want a waterproofing on the window or a clear-bra, find a local dealer for that and youll get a much more competitive price.
