You Do the Research

One thing that the auto dealer does not expect the customer to do is some real research. Sure, they expect you to know what car you want and what color, but other then that nothing else. You need to research all the features, and then know what the MSRP will be. You do not want to pay too much for this car, and if you know what you should be paying you are ahead of the game. Do some real research, not just car type and color. The less that the dealer can suggest the better. It will suck the power right away from them.

Making Sure You Do Not Get Sucked In

One of the aspects that a dealer can use to their advantage is the test drive. It is very important that you test drive the auto before you buy it, because you want to make sure that you are compatible with it. Do not let them suck you in though during this process. They would like to take your driver license and run a credit check while you drive. Do not let them do this. Make copies of your license then write "No Authorized Credit Checks" on the copies. If they have your real license they can keep you around as long as they want.

Own the Negotiations

The negotiations are when the dealers will really lock into their sell mode. They want to own the negotiations and get the best deal for them. You should not let this happen. In fact, you should be the one who owns the negotiations. Be prepared with how much you want to spend and what features you want. Do not let the ball roll over into their court because they will not give it back. They may even get strong and try to force you into some take it or leave it deal. This is your ball, and your court. You are the one in control.
