Very interesting. @Know the Ledge Where you DO have some negotiating power is in your trade (if you have one). There's still plenty of chances to use your negotiation skills there!

Recently we got new cars and I went to a dealership that offers a "one-price" system where there's no negotiation. Basically they have one price (below MSRP) that is fair for the product, and you don't go through the negotiation mess. They pride themselves on service and since they're a Honda dealership, it works for them. You won't have much luck negotiating down the price on a new Honda anyway since they're fairly high demand, so you end up with a good price, low stress buying environment, and great service even after you drive off. We've been extremely happy with the process. I used to loathe talking with car salesmen, but we'll probably end up continuing to buy from them in the future.

Even with the discounts you can still get the rebates and/or the special financing and can save a ton of money. We save up, trade in our old car and use the discounts and rebates and come close to paying in full every time! It is awesome. We do drive our cars for ever though, so we have plenty of time to save!

I'm doing my best to save up enough cash to buy my next vehicle without going into debt. I think this is the best way to save money when buying a car. Dealerships like almost everyone else in the retail business seem to make most of their profit on financing. If I could combine paying cash with such a discount, it might make sense to buy new instead of used. Madison – Using a family and friends discount at a car dealership seems like a great idea.
