How do I find a dealer?
Home » Automobiles » Making an offer and negotiating the price of a car » How do I find a dealer?Once you know what car you want to buy and what you think it's worth, it's a matter of finding it and making the offer. Finding your car involves, again, watching the newspapers. If you notice that a dealer has 10 2001 Ford Explorers in different colors for $7,999 and then the next month it has the 10 Explorers again for $6,999, you know that they are trying to get rid of them, and that you could probably get one for even less. The ideal car to negotiate on has been on the lot already for 30-60 days. Good luck getting a deal on a car that has a wait list at the dealership. By having an idea of the inventory of the dealers in your area, you can tell who is ready to deal. Again, the year-end closeouts in June-August are good times for this. Feel free to visit the top few dealers and get an idea of which specific Honda CRV you would most like to have. Stay flexible, but keep this in the back of your mind as you prepare to negotiate.
