Starks 05/07/21 5:29:34 PM #1:	I feel more in control than I did 3 years ago, but I hate talking to dealerships. I don't want to talk to you and when I do I'll just piss you off. Why is it so hard to just show me a sign and drive deal on your website or listing sites? I don't want to do a fucking down payment or discover that taxes and fees weren't rolled in. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.6.0_B3 <cite>Starks posted [p:953668158] in Car huntin...

lilORANG 05/07/21 6:02:23 PM #16:	The last time I bought a car, I decided on the model I wanted and just called up 3 dealers in the area and told them to give me their best price, and I bought from the lowest price. I made sure to call the dealers I didn't buy from to let them know, and of course they were like "well what'd you pay? I can probably get you a better deal!" Sorry brah. You blew that sale. Could I have haggle and gotten a better deal than what I paid for? Yeah. But it was satisfying telling those other dealers they lost a sale bc they were trying to jerk me around on price. --- #FeelTheBern https://imgur.com/q5z4CUu https://imgur.com/6B9oFXh https://imgur.com/sy42Dlf <cite>lilORANG posted [p:953669243] in Car huntin...

HouIe 05/07/21 6:08:44 PM #18:	When I bought my car I spent a lot of time researching the car I wanted on my own. I got the black book price and I lurked the car salesman subreddit to help prepare me. When I negotiated the price I asked if it was "all in" meaning no additional fees.

You have to be smart with your dealerships. TBH, avoid the ones in the wealthy areas because they are either used to cash buyers or buyers with so much money that they don't care about being ripped off.

Starks 05/07/21 6:27:27 PM #20:	JBaLLEN66 posted... are you trading? What vehicle are you looking for? Is your credit good? I'd rather not trade in my CR-V lease unless the chip shortage will be a lot worse in August and the dealership eats the remaining payments entirely. Some dealerships are refusing to haggle or apply incentives and insisting on MSRP due to inventory shortages. It's 99% bs, but they try. Excellent credit. Mainly looking at 2022 Tucson, 2021 Rogue, and 2021 Forester. Test drove a rental 2020 CX-5 GT on a recent vacation and was extremely disappointed with the tech inside when I got past its good looks. My options are limited because I want the latest driver assistance tech. At the end of the day, I don't want to pay anything out the door that I'm not legally required to (i.e. NY DMV, first month, etc). --- This space for rent <cite>Starks posted [p:953670041] in Car huntin...
