No Haggle Car Dealers

As I mentioned earlier, many dealers are touting the no hassle no haggle one selling price business model.

That type of marketing business model has proved there are many people that are willing to settle for the sticker price of the car as a trade off for a low pressure sales approach by the dealer, and without all of the heavy negotiating.

This is O.K. for those people and I can assure you, it is great for the dealer!

In fact, if you accept the premise of a fixed selling price for the new car, you are pretty much making for a happy dealer.

The car business is what it is.

There are a lot of numbers being move around during the course of the deal. The manufacturer offers dealers various forms of financial incentives in order to enable the dealer to move their inventory, so if you simply accept the sticker price as a fair price, one not needed to be negotiated upon, then you will pay more than you need to.

What about your car trade in? Are you just going to assume that since you can’t negotiate the price of the new car, then you must accept the number they put on your trade?

I hope not. Especially since you’ve come this far!

Even a dealership such as Saturn has to move their inventory… period. Exclamation point!

I know this for a fact. I case you missed it on the home page, I worked this business for many years… Saturn included. And although Saturn may not ostensibly come off the sticker price of their new car, there are other ways to move the numbers to get you to the price you want if you are persistent in your negotiations.

And if your off to visit a ‘no haggle dealer’, you should still take the time to do your homework. Again, no haggle dealers still get incentives, rebates, and other manufacturer financial biscuits. And, do you remember the holdback they get?

Also, no haggle dealers aren’t immune to putting those nasty dealer $add-on$ stickers on the windows of their cars… don’t pay for this stuff.

Next… never a monthly payment approach… never
