No need to visit the dealership to negotiate.

Was just telling the wife I dont think the online car buying sounds so bad after all. We are so far apart on price I think its a waste of both our time. Would've payed good money to bear spray that guy. Online Chevy is running 2.9% financing called one credit union today they said 5% dealer says 8% is the best. Such a waste of time talking to those people.

Dealers just want you in the dealership to pressure you with all of their games. It takes some work, but you can find all of the information and prices you need online. Most dealers have an internet salesman who cut out the games.

I don't blame dealers/salesman for trying to make more money, but I'm on to it.

My cousin is a Toyota salesman. He says he has less than 5 years before car salesman are gone. Making pretty good money wasting people's time in the mean time though...

Everybody should buy a Tesla one time to see how nice it can be. Get online, buy the car. Go pick it up. No salesmen. No negotiations. The price listed is the price.

My son just bought a car thru internet sale. It was his first car purchase so I went with him to do paperwork so he didn't get screwed. They pushed warranty and that was it. There were no shenanigans, very easy. Going to buy my next one in that manner. Acura had a 1% for 3 years financing deal he was able to take advantage of.

Bought one 4 years ago. Sold it last year when we moved back to Montana.

My youngest worked at a local high volume dealership, started part time in high school and kept the job through sophomore year in college. Ended up as a finance clerk there before he headed to main campus.
Sales guys would routinely brag in the office about just how badly they would screw some unsuspecting customers. It really is a profession for the unscrupulous.
Whenever I'm shopping I know exactly what my credit union is offering for interest rates and terms. I've had dealerships routinely match the same terms, some even buy down points from their lenders to get the financing through the dealer as they get a cut.

This.

I think it depends on the time of the year also. Around this time of year they are making room for the next year models so they try to mark down their existing same year vehicles. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 but it only has 75,000 on it and only had 48,000 when I bought it in 2022. Once I get it paid off which will be able the time my oldest can get his permit, he will take that and I'll buy something new or used depending on the market. MSRPs for vehicles have gone crazy but when they add more tech, increases the price. I wish they would still offer trucks with manual windows as when I'm looking at the new ones I also build a bare bones model and just add the off road package and some other things and that usually beats the price of say for example the Ram Rebel which is MSRP at 64 for a 2026 when I can build a tradesman with the 5.7 and offroad package for 53 with those packages included.

The last 3 or 4 vehicles I've bought have been 100% online deals and I just drove to the dealership to pick the vehicle up. Even bought a couple used ones that way. Lots of tools out there to let you know if you are getting a decent deal or not. On my last truck I had to drive a couple hours to get it but it was worth it for the savings.

I think this is key. Really depends on how common/unique of a trim or options you are looking for. For my AT4x, they really weren't looking to negotiate much as even though I ordered it and had to wait 3 months, they told me that if I ended up not taking ownership, they'd likely be able to sell it in a day or 2. I only put $1k down as a 'placeholder' because they just needed 'something' and weren't worried about being able to sell it.

My wife just bought a 2025 Lincoln SUV they she got at employee pricing because it had been sitting on the lot for 4 months. It looks like every other Lincoln on the road and they had about 1/2 dozen of the exact same '25s they were looking to get rid of. So they were willing to deal more.

If you are looking for a base 2500 I'd wager there are some dealers that would be more willing to play ball in order to move inventory. Still looking close to $70k for a diesel and $60k for a gas engine if you are just getting a no-frills SLE or Pro...

Same I bought an X a few months ago. 5% below MSRP. I had to go out of state and buy online to find one. They are in high demand. Good experience.

Not sure what moral universe you live in but when anyone stands up on stage and salutes Hitler that's I indefensible and anti American. Why half of America thinks this is ok leaves me a bit heartbroken if I'm honest. There used to be certain lines you did not cross, and self identifying as a Nazi was one of them I believe should still stand.

Bro, we bombed Iran and sent the Jewish state $18 billion in the last fiscal year to sponsor the raising of Gaza. I disagree with it too, but it is Zionism, literally the opposite of Nazism.

Sure, but it would be hard to imagine those two Butt buddies, being on opposite ends of such a large topic
