Negoiating with car dealership

Show them your dick

Jump on top of the guys desk and take a shite.

That way he knows you will do anything...

Just remember you can't negotiate the finance. That's a bank thing. Take the 9.9%.

Also is it better or worse to negotiate through email/text?

Most dealerships have an "online sales" guy that handles negotiations over the phone for internet listed vehicles.

As far as going in to negotiate, the best thing you can do is know your price and walk away if you don't get it. Trust me- if they can sell if for that and still make profit, they won't allow you to leave. The longer you're in a dealership, the worse it is for you. Once you've been there 2-3 hours, you're far more likely to leave with a new vehicle. It's psychology and they are really good at wearing you down.

Make it clear to them you don't want to talk about your trade-in until you have agreed on the price of the vehicle you're buying. They are separate transactions. If you let them work on them together, that is when you lose leverage and they start moving money around in their favor.

What are some good ways to negotiate with a dealership on a used vehicle or on the value of my trade in? Also is it better or worse to negotiate through email/text?

There is only one way.

1) Know what you want and do your research ahead of time (options, packages, etc..)
2) Know what you are willing to pay and never tell them that amount.
3) Call a couple dealerships, let them know what you want and also let them know you are shopping around.
4) Most important part .... Let them know that they should talk to their boss, sales manager, etc before they ever get back to you and get a no shite best price. Make sure they know this is a must .. because once they speak a number it is either good enough or it is not good enough. There is NO negotiating!! If it is good enough I buy the car. If not .. simply walk .. never turn around.

You know car dealers have to make a living too you know? Every time one of you people comes in and tries to "name your own price" you're taking money out of the salesmans pocket

There is plenty of sound advice here. I will add: after you buy the car, do NOT keep shopping to see if a cheaper one popped up. It has, it’s 5 grand less than you paid, and it’s right down the street in the color you really wanted.

last car I bought, didn't really have a strategy, just kinda dumb lucked into this.

I was in the market. I had gone to truecar.com where you can lock in your price, no hassle, but you have to go to a truecar.com dealer, which was about 100 miles away. Truecar also gives you an idea of what people paid for a car and what I should generally expect as a fair price or even an excellent price.

I guess I had to give truecar my phone number to get access to their site.

Decided to start local and see what they offered. Went to the first place. I was upfront about how I had gone onto truecar.com and had a good idea of what I wanted to pay and where we needed to get to.
We test drive, go into the back and start negotiations. He starts the old back and forth, "gotta run it past my boss" BS. So he comes back after the first pass. they could probably do it.

While I'm sitting there my phone rings. I looked, didn't recognize the number and sent them to voice mail. I was actually surprised when they left a VM.

So here we go again. I make a lower offer. He goes into his boss's office. While he's gone I listen to the voice mail. It was the true car dealer 100 miles away and he was ready to deal.

When the salesman came back he wasn't really wanting to budge. So I say, "you won't believe who that phone call was from. It was from the truecar.com dealer 100 miles away and he's ready to deal."

All of a sudden we were in business. He matched truecar's "good price" and offered me another 2k on my POS trade in.
