Many people are hesitant to haggle; these are the people that insist they are not good at negotiating the price of anything including buying a Chevrolet in Chicago. Many people tend to shy away from confrontational situations; it is really something that they dread. The same people, with a change in their perspective and armed with a few tricks can save a considerable amount of money when they buy a car.
It’s hard to say how much can be saved but even if you negotiate just a little bit you can usually drop the price on a new car by $1,000 or so; if you really negotiate and go for the juggler, don’t be surprised if you can’t save $2,000 after about an hour of dealings.
Where does it all start?
Negotiations usually start when you have identifies a car that interests you and you and the salesperson sit down to talk about it. Often it starts with the salesperson asking what monthly payment fits well with your budget.
Right away, back off answering this question; you cannot effectively negotiate the price when it is presented to you as a monthly payment. Simply point out that you will be happy to discuss financing later but right now the only thing that you want to know is the price of the car. At this stage don’t be surprised if the salesperson asks you to make him an offer or say something like “how much are you willing to pay.”
Be cautious, usually the first person to speak loses. Think about it, if you name a price you will never know if the dealer would have named a lower price. If you do speak first, make sure you make an offer that you can support with detail.
It is not difficult to get the true market value of a Chevrolet in Chicago; this information is readily available on the internet. This value is one which gives you a good deal and allows the dealer to make a reasonable profit. If you now want to negotiate you can, nothing is stopping you from throwing out an offer lower than the true market value.
There are many people who want to buy a car and they want to get it for the best possible price but they fear making a low offer, perhaps they think the salesperson will turn around and laugh at them or get upset or insulted. Don’t be, the salesperson is doing the same thing, you are just doing it in reverse.
