- Idaho Falls auto dealers, like any other car
dealers in the world have their own wily ways
when dealing with customers. Knowing how to beat
them at their own game goes a long way in helping
determine the direction of a car sales deal,
especially when buying a used car. Unlike the new
car, whose sale is much more straightforward, not
every used car is the same, and buyers must
therefore know how to drive just as hard a
bargain as the dealers.

- Price is the playing field in this negotiations,
and the trick is to get them on the back foot.
Have them mention the first price, as this sets
the potential buyer up for the rest of the
negotiations. The person who mentions their price
first does not have the luxury of going any
lower. Having the dealer name their price is
therefore the first step to getting as close to
ones way as possible.

- The price game can also be played by mentioning a
reputable pricing guide. In this information era,
there are many tools from which one can get
pricing information and show the dealer that they
have done their homework. Many Idaho Falls auto
dealers tend to prey on the ignorance of their
customers to get a favorable price.

- Getting the best deal, however, sometimes might
require much more than the direct haggling over
price. Looking around at more than one dealership
is likely to help lower the prices, especially
when one lets the dealers know about this. Going
to at least three dealerships will give the
potential customer a feel of the marketplace. It
will also reduce the likelihood of one falling in
love with one car and having to pay too much for
it.

- An effective strategy many Idaho Falls auto
dealers will use is the fact that they will lose
money. Buyers are advised to worry about their
budget, and not that of the dealerships when
making their bargains.
