<prompt> Human: As the title suggests, Im a first time car buyer. How do people typically negotiate for a better deal? What are some reasonable things to ask for?

Whats a typical off on a brand new car?  <response>: Its a lot easier if you do tons of research online, find out what the market is for the specific model youre looking for TrueCar, and go to a dealership that has the car you want at a good price. I think the availability of information at this day and age removes a lot of the leeway for bargaining.Also, get pre-approved for an auto loan from your own bankcredit union. If you get a really good rate, the financing people wont bother you unless they can beat it, which is good for you.
