How to find best price for new car?

I am considering buying a new car but am told to know what the MSRP of the car is first to give myself the best advantage when haggling for a price. What is the best way to find out the MSRP? Websites? I've checked edmunds, truecar and even the official manufacturer's website and all have different numbers.

What's the best site and any general tips or tricks I can use when talking to the dealership?

    The manufacturer and the seller are required to place a sticker on each vehicle naming the MSRP.  Look at a vehicle you are interested in.  Sometimes clearance sales start in October or November.  the sellers advertise discount amounts.

    For new cars, if you have multiple dealers for the same brand locally, haggle away and see who gives you the best deal. The manufacturer's website should give you an MSRP for exactly how you want the vehicle optioned up.

    Kelley Blue Book at kbb.com allows you to do this.  

    1.  Go to the web site kbb.com

    2.  Choose the car brand, model, trim level, and accessories you want.  (They have a menu of options for each car and model)

    3.  You can determine whether there are any special deals or discounts available: the procedure will direct you to choose any that might apply to you.

    4.  The site will return the manufacturer's suggested list price, their invoice cost, and what they think a fair price would be.  The prices include destination (shipping) costs, but may not include dealer advertising or preparation fees, nor any taxes.

    5.  It will also provide you with a list of cars local dealers have in inventory.

    There was a time when I could give you some sound advice about buying a car, but everything I would tell you wouldn't work in today's car buying market. With all these car buying sites telling people that they WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S A GOOD PRICE, it's almost impossible to haggle for a car anymore.

    Too many people are so afraid to tell a salesman "no, that's too much" wanting someone to just tell them "the bottom line", has ruined car buying for everyone. Hell, nowadays the have a car vending machine, as if you're buying a gumball.

    The best advice I can give you is to ask around among your friends and family and find out if anyone knows someone that works at a car dealership. If you can find someone, go there and buy a USED CAR. Don't buy a new one. Hopefully you won't get ripped off.

    Also, don't go looking for a new/used car until you have good credit. Having good credit makes you a good risk for a dealership and they're more likely to give you a better price and a better loan rate.

    Stupid, cowardly, people ruin everything.
