tmv and blacklist and auction listings are the best, doont do kbb or edmunds their upmarked and a dealor will never give you that on your trade unless they dont discount the car, i work at a dealor ship so i have an idea of what they look for

One of my friends, when he goes car shopping, he has a price and then just sticks with it. Doesn't matter what the dealer offers, he just says "This is what I want to pay". His wife says he has done this for several hours on occasion. For me, if I can get close to my target price, I don't usually haggle over a few hundred bucks. My time is worth something to me.

I see this threads a fee months old but what's the chances of getting an M3 6spd MT light optioned for $65.8? Here is your certificate from BMW of Mountain View: https://www.truecar.com/ucr/web/E8683I/q/LJJ0BB

I always wait for summer when its 110-115+ outside. I'm in shorts, t-shirt, running shoes and properly hydrated. I have them in the sun all day looking at and test driving different models for a couple hours. Make them SWEAT, miss lunch, and love seeing the agony in their face, or stomach growling. THEN I GET THEM INSIDE AND WORK 'EM! Never lose that way!
