No walking out of the dealership feeling like you got superbly taken advantage of? But how do you KNOW if you didn't get 'proverbially screwed?"
Enter Ray Lopez! As a car salesman for over 30 years, he knows what he's talking about! In this book, he'll teach you every psychological and manipulative tactics that typical car salesmen and dealerships use against you to make you pay more than you want to, even buying a car you didn't want! He gives you 12 crucial dos and dont's to car buying.
The big one is why you should UNDER VALUE your car's value, when researching it on the internet, so you don't have sticker shock when they lo-ball you on a trade in amount. He recommends that unless your car has been driven less than 5,000 miles and parked in a garage it's whole life, you should value your car at FAIR, when using online tools. Why? because dealers will find EVERY little thing wrong with your car, that you and most people would ignore on an used car!
You should also accept that the dealership needs to make money and learn his trick to figure out how much you should allow them in your deal! You want to research on the internet? Great, but don't tell the salesman, or let them see any print outs- they'll use ti against you and play up to you about how much you know. they'll get you trapped into a corner of higher costs before you can blink! Same thing with bringing someone with you- they size up that person immediately and either ignore you or do every thing they can to separate that person from you. Divide and conquer!
