Why Dealership Used Cars Cost More
Here is my recipe for purchasing cars. At first I really tried to purchase a car through car-max because I hated the negotiating process with the normal dealers.<p>What I discovered was that car max typically priced their cars 2-3K above what I could negotiate with another dealer. I also discovered if you want a used honda don&#x27;t go to a honda dealer all the time, try going to a porche dealer or other high end dealers that don&#x27;t want those hondas in their inventory at the end of the month. Also be willing to walk away<p>Summary:<p>1. Goto car-max to get the max price of the vehicle and deduct 2-3k from it and try to find another dealer that will negotiate that price.<p>2. Goto to high end dealers for non high end cars.<p>3. Try to go towards the end of the month so I have been told by people in the business but I&#x27;m not sure on this.<p>4. Most importantly don&#x27;t be afraid to walk away . Last car I purchased I walked away then the dealer called me back a couple of weeks later and I got them for what I wanted to pay. This really shouldn&#x27;t be an issue as most cars are not one of a kind and can be found at anytime for purchase.<p>5. If the car is a hot model than all the above will likely be negated and they will be willing to not put to much time into selling you the car (negotiate)<p>6. Buy at the end of the year nov-dec timeframe. This is because once January hits the car will be officially a year older.<p>Hence the dealer will work harder to sell you that 2014 or 2015 model before it becomes 2016 and it gets tainted officially as last years or 2 years ago model.<p>7. Try to go by yourself and not with with your spouse or significant other , so you are the final word.
