Buying a used Vehicle - Haggling the price....?
http://www.coliseumautosales.ca/used/Dodge/2007-Do...
I found this truck for sale on the internet for $19,999...(not the dealers website they had it posted on auto-traders website.) I went there to look at it, and saw the sticker in the window was the same price. When i came home and checked the dealerships website, the price was $18,888, and they call this the "internet price" adding to this, there is a button on their website that says "make an offer" Question is, what would be a reasonable offer to make these guys? they already drop the price on the internet by $1111.00, what would be an offer they wouldn't refuse? No financing, just a cash sale,. Never bought a car like this at a small dealership, so i don't know what the "haggling procedure is" any advice how to get the best deal?
Cheers!

First of all a car dealer makes his money by buying cheap, and selling high. The best time to make low offers is the last few days of the month. all bills are due on the first, so Insurance truck payment, bank payment what ever happens then.
Dealers are more interested in getting as much of your money as possible. If they know you like something, they will grind every last dollar. Large dealers and small try to wear you down over time, they know people are busy and dont have time to mess around, and a dealer has 80 hours a week to figure out how to get your money. Dont even act interested in the truck, go to one next to it, look it over, play the game, and kind of as an after thought, ask them how much cash it would take to drive the truck you like home. Generally a down payment is usually close to what the dealer has into a vehicle he is not losing money, your first payment and all the ones after that are all profit. You never know, you have to start somewhere. So just see what it takes, to get what you want, the worse they can say is no, thats too low, how about this? good luck.

The "make an offer" button is just a sales lead tool. Never make an offer over the internet.
You need to research the cars value and its condition before you can know what a reasonable offer is.

definite, elementary prepare; exceedingly if the window sticker does not have an asking value. in actuality, the dealership will haggle you in the finance & coverage branch.. "do you pick for an prolonged guarantee", "paint sealant", etc.. No you're saying? they'll attempt to convince you in any different case. in actuality, those used vehicles you notice on the part of a sparkling automobile dealership. Its now common for them to mark up the value bigger than they are very particularly keen to sell the motor vehicle.
