I've never done this on my own before. My mother has always gone with me to do the haggling and be a cosigner (her credit was better than mine). We are going to buy cash, so credit is not a worry. We aren't 100% set on what vehicle we want, but I'm going to use the Mazda Tribute as an example.
I was looking at Consumer Reports online. They said the base MSRP is $20,555. The Invoice is $19,250. Then it says to subscribe to see what the dealership paid. Uh, that's not really something I should do, is it?
Someone suggested asking for their invoice price, then preparing to pay $500 above that (starting the haggling at $200 above). And that because we're paying cash, they may even throw in some extras.
I'm looking at getting the base model, but automatic, not manual. The only extra I know we want is the floor mats.
