re: Do used car lots honestly put their best price out there on internet?

Where are you buying?

would be if the rate is right.
I'd shop around for a rate on that particular vehicle, get pre-approved through the lender with the lowest rate you can find, then go in there and negotiate on rate and price.
"I'll buy the car right now if you take $150 off the selling price. I'll even let you have the financing if you can beat my rate."
Let the chips fall. If you don't like the deal, walk.
Chances are if they don't budge at that point, that's as low as they'll go.

I doubt it too but even if he comes off $3K, which is still a good deal for someone, he is making more than the 10% people are throwing around.
There were several other deals I thought were very fair for trucks considering the demand for them.

Last used car I bought this was the story. They said they hired a company to actively price the vehicles as competitively as possible. I had been watching this car on the internet and they were in fact lowering the price every month or so. I called when I thought I had waited enough, and the price was where I thought it should be. I had no problem paying what they asked...but the vehicle was VERY unique and I knew there wasn't another out there.

They have to price very competitively online since the market is much larger.
I don't agree or at least it depends on the dealership. I looked at a Tundra at Team Toyota, they wanted 31k for it. Looked it up and provided something similar that was less and wound up paying around 26.5k for it.
In the same day, I saw a F150 at Capitol GMC and they wanted 28k for a 2011 Lariat with 86K miles! It sat there for 5 months prior. They didn't even budge 200 dollars. I left and bought the Tundra. 5 months later, I still see that truck there.
Then you have douche bags like the people at Net Auto in Richland that think putting a few upgrades on the truck warrant 7-8k more for a truck. For instance, they have a 2012 silverado crew cab LT Z71 with larger tires and a leveling kit with 71k miles go for 30K!

They make it up on fees "that everyone pays".
email them and get the OTD price...
Used car dealerships aren't as bad as pool builders, but they're close.

Yes.

60 days is not that long on a used car. That's barely above avg time. And if you are looking at a truck or full size SUV the book values are increasing on some of these because of the low gas prices and demand. Smaller dealerships usually will come off the price quicker because the floor plan cost is so much greater than a large dealer group.

I bought a truck a few months ago (certified used) and the online price was 31k. The sticker was higher. I paid 28k.
Salesman did tell me I would get a better deal financing through them, so I read paperwork very closely, financed through them, then recently refinanced through a credit union for almost 1/2 the interest. Went from 4 something to 2.9%.

Or a detail? Scratches fixed? I'd bet the oil was changed?
Employees? Overhead?
God forbid they make a little money.
Also, it ALMOST NEVER works to give a person your best price. I've never sold a car when I gave a person "my bottom dollar" price. The buyer doesn't believe you, and they want to play the negotiation game starting at the bottom dollar.
