<<The best strategy, I discovered, was to find a couple of ads in the papers, sporting a low price.>>

The strategy I used with my Jeep was to wear them down. My 4th trip I was there from 5:30 to 12:30 am. Wound up getting a $38k Jeep for the same price on the trade they quoted for a $32k Jeep at 6:00. They closed at 10:00 and really wanted to go home. I had read where Jeep had way too many vehicles on hand and they had called me so I went in. They were calling Detroit factory guys at midnight looking for rebates. Then again my time is worth $0.00.

Wife wanted a Suburu Forester 2 years ago. She did a lot of research on them. Went to the dealer and took a test drive and didn't like it. I told her to try the Outback and it was a nice ride. Two weeks later we went back and she dickered them down to a decent price on the Outback but what they'd offered her on trade was off. Now this was her deal and she told me to keep my mouth shut. She was thinking it over and when I opened my mouth and said "you're $500 too low on the trade in" she kicked me. The sales manager heard that and asked if it was a deal maker and I said yes. Wife couldn't believe I got $500 better deal on that. Of course she got the best deal, "borrowed" $5k from me and traded MY $1,500 car.
