After about a month or so, she was pretty sure they were down to the lowest amount that dealer would sell the car for. I said, "Isn't this a huge hassle?" She said, "No, I see who is calling and I don't answer." But she listened to their messages, and each time they lowered the price a little. For her last car (10 years ago) she simply contacted the "Internet Sales" department of the local Honda dealer, and then waited. My daughter is probably the best car negotiator I've run into. Carvana, Carmax, and the rest are decent prices but they are far form the best. There is no cheapest one stop shopping place with fixed prices. That is the true car priceī) write/talk to a dozen dealers and see which one will beat that price and then who will be the next price What price did you pay? It isn't like the salesman experience is remotely tough when you walk in and say I will pay you what ever you want.Ī) Figure out what the most you will possible pay is. Even for things like Eurodelivery most require you to go through the maker. Heck it isn't even legal in a lot of states.

I haven’t dealt with a salesman in over 20 years except for occasional test drives, and don’t miss it. They gave us a heads up about a month before the build date if I remember correctly. The last time, with Porsche, I wired the funds for payment when I received notification that the car would be built and available for pickup on a specific date. I place the order and take delivery in 2-3 months. I’m sure I am not the norm, but I order my cars directly from the manufacturer, setting it up with color, options, etc exactly the way I want them.
