14. Don’t Car Shop on an Empty Stomach

A proven technique for negotiating with car dealerships is to make sure you do not shop on an empty stomach. It has been proven that consumers will make poor decisions when hungry, and if you are tired on top of this, then you will not have the patience to properly haggle with your car dealer. Similarly, if you are sick, have a headache, or just feel bad, reschedule the day you are planning on buying a car to when you feel much better. The last thing that any consumer wants to do is go shopping when not on top of their game. If you are financing your auto purchase, you will be dealing with the results of your visit to the car dealer for between four and six years, so taking a few more days will not result in too much inconvenience once you take the big picture into mind.
