Tips for better negotiation with the car dealer
Negotiation is an art; a car dealer negotiates the limits on the basis of their perception about the customers. The trick is simple; a clever car dealer can sense your knowledge about the auto market and your emotional attachment to the car you are negotiating about. You have to think out of the box during the whole process. A knowledgeable and shrewd person can handle this situation in a better way, and the dealer cannot push you around easily. An ignorant and wishy-washy approach can lead you to bad outcome and the dealer can get more money out of your pocket.
The car dealer has a habit of stretching the limits, if you are willing to pay about $1000 they will make it stretch to $1100. If you feel that your limit is being stretched then drawing back from the deal is the better option. Your ignorance can be a real tool for the dealers, and they can tell if you have some information. To become a well-informed and clever buyer, the first thing you should consider is the type of the car you are going to buy. Be clear about what you are going to buy.

Local credit unions are there to provide you with the true interest rates. This process is not difficult as most of the unions have the updated rates on their websites.
