Jason recently posted some great tips for buying a car which I followed today. Unfortunately, after finding a sales rep we liked during the test drive process, things fell apart during the financial negoitations. The sales rep said he’s going to talk to the dealer’s other finiancial guy (apparently the son of the owner w/ more clout) on Monday and try to work out a deal.
Other reading of interest, the previously linked Confessions of a Car Salesman.
Ho-hum, there went a Saturday I could have spent golfing. On a positive note, we brought the pup along on the second trip (to puchase) and she was very well behaved.

Glad you liked the post
Hope it was useful.
Sorry to hear that things fell apart during negotiations. Hopefully your salesman can put something together for you on Monday… Good luck!

Check out www.edmunds.com. I found the articles on there extremely useful when buying a car. It also has great reviews about cars and how they perform 10 years down the road from both JD Power & Associates and real people.

You might look at www.fightingchance.com. Their FaxAttack seems pretty effective. A co-worker used it and really liked how it worked and put them out competing for you.

Thanks. We got the deal done this morning (needed to with the snow) but that looks like a cool resource.
