I had a friend who thought the sticker price was the price you had to pay for the vehicle.
I offered to go with him when he went to buy his next vehicle. He was amazed at how low the price ended up.
Dealers know there are people out there who don't like to negotiate so they start high and come down to get the maximum profit.
Working at Auto Dealerships (service depts) before you could look up and find out prices just about anything on the computer. I was simply amazed at how many people came in and paid sticker price on vehicles.
Had one ol guy say "my times worth more than haggling over the price"!
Yeah and he just paid close to $8K more than he should have !
Everything is negotiable from the price of the vehicle to the undercoating ,interior treatment, finance and the extended warranty.
And most of it was just pure waste of money for the customer side to pure profit on the dealers side !
