Play hard ball.
The best negotiating tactic is to appear as if you've got plenty of options.
Bring in your patience and best poker face.


Good luck!

I wear jeans and a Motorhead t-shirt when I buy a car. If they judge me, they dont need to deal with me.
I'm a 56 year old ex-rocker with hair past my shoulders!!
Should have seen the faces when I walked in the door, sat in my future GTR, and told them I wanted to drive it off the floor!! Ironically, I had to deal with the sales manager, and negotiating price on a GTR, is unheard of.

I tell them, I want to buy a car, and spend no more than 45 minutes in that showroom.


The best negotiating tactic, is walking out the door. Yaris sales were down last month.

Yeah but they always downplay a woman, No matter what.
So for me, I like to give the appearance of someone who takes no BS.

It doesn't help that I look like a teenager at 28 either. =P

Good luck OP! Hope everything works out like you want it to!
