Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1377287, member: 31533"]The best time to haggle for a car is the last day of the month. Worked for me in 2006. I got a 17,000 - 19,000 dollar vehicle for just over 12,000. Bottom line was that the dealers get a kickback from the parent corporation each month, and the amount of vehicles sold can and does determine what kind and how many that dealership will be able to have to sell the next month or so. If a dealership doesn't make sales, then the parent corporation basically lets them suffer by not having good inventory. So having one more sale really can be the difference in making or breaking a month for the dealership. The dealership I got mine from recognised this, routed me through their business sales (for company vehicles) and pulled a truck I wanted from another dealership to get it to me. Because one of my terms was that I did not want my truck built on a Friday, or Monday, or the 15th of the month or the end of the month. I wanted to maximise the fact that workers were attentive and awake when my vehicle was built. They made the sale and the other dealership didn't. Funny thing was the lot the truck came from was one I had visited and who did not want to deal with me for lower prices, and whose salesmen were actively trying to get me into something I didn't want. Their loss, my gain. I still have that truck which is so fine to me. Plus it had a free bedliner in it. I love it.[/QUOTE]
