yes i can give you a good strategy...you may not believe this but it works. Say the phrase "i realize this is being unreasonable...but" then name an absurdly low price....like if the car is listed for 9k offer 4k
continually just act understanding when they say they cant meet the price but never budge...only say "i know its absurd but my budget is only $4k"...never go upwards ever.

I'm hoping to do the same thing with a house. I was looking at buying when all the sudden this plague shit kicks off. I'm kind of wondering if I can't leverage the uncertainty to get more house for my money. Theres a super awesome 2 story 5 bedroom with stone walled courtyard and 4 car garage that would normally be about 50 grand outside what I could swing. I wanna see if I can't spook the seller into pulling the trigger at the price I want.

That will only work if you know what the dealerships are paying for them and what they are selling for. If you go low enough he's going to lose money or too low for any real profit to be made on his end you are literally never going to sign on anything.

Whatever you do don’t walk in trying to flex that you’re “buying the car cash” like a retard that thinks it’s still 1980. They have no interest in selling you a car cash, they make their money off loans and financing. Haggle the price down with the salesman as much as possible, shake hands on a price when satisfied, when you go to the finance office dispute any retarded charges and dodge the questions about financing and aprs and shit like that by saying “we’ll get to that later, let’s talk about the costs you’re adding on” and when you agree on the price there tell shake on it and tell em

not entirely wrong
>sold cars for years
>get a great deal every time I buy now.
Don't be a retard like this guy and throw out 4k on a 9k car though
Say its listed at 20k. Offer 15k. You'll probably end up getting it at 16-17
Just never budge above what you're comfortable with and prepare to walk out of the dealership
they'll call you if they don't stop you immediately

Yeah, "HUURRRR YOU SPENT $4500 BUYING IT THEN $600 FIXING IT UP, I'LL GIVE YOU $4,000 AND WON'T BUDGE!" Is boomer who thinks they know how to haggle but don't tier buyer tactics. If its $9,000 offer 6 and walk out with a car for $7500 and be happy you saved some money.

The art of lowballing cannot and will not work if you seriously expect them to sell at a loss. I grew up with a dad who ran a mechanic shop and occaisionally fixed up and flipped cars, we sold to usef dealerships and lots a lot.

The absolute best way to get a deal on a used car is to have a good idea what they paid for it, what its actually worth, then what profit margin said dealership usually shoots for, and work from there.

fictional example:
2009 volkswagon jetta, 145k miles, clean maintenance record, offered for 8k.

Bluebook value is 4500, so that means it probably got traded in for 3500 towards another car, then they probably put between 450 to 800 into fixing it up.

So theyre in for about 4,000, and probably are willing to sell it for about 2,000 profit, but are listing at 8k in the off chance a guy will buy it at sticker price.

Saying "hey man, this thing's actual bluebook value is like half that and you guys probably hooked it up for a thousand less, but I know you need to make money on this too. Lets do $5500.

You end up agreeing to it for $6,000 after haggling away the fees and whatnot. He makes money, you save money. Good deal.
