Looking to get a new car, time to replace the 2011 Terrain that has 102,000 miles on it and feels like its on its last legs every time I drive.
I've been fortunate enough at work recently where I can afford to buy a car in full rather than finance.
Has anyone done this before? If so, any tips for negotiating? I've been reading some articles and they say to not tell the dealer you are paying cash until you settle on a price because the dealers make less money if you pay cash and they will factor that into the negotiations.
Also, anyone have any opinions on mid size foreign non luxury SUV's? Like the Nissan Murano? I'm never buying american again and don't want anything too fancy due to the way I treat cars.
If you know someone with a dealers license have them take you to an auction.
Lotta shitboxes at auctions, dealers that take junk in trade ins run em through there because they don't want some guy standing in front of their dealership with a sign that says " this guy sold me a car with a cracked block or ran trans x through it to swell the Seels for a month" .
