6. Avoid Buying the Car on the First Visit

A common tactic with car dealers is to try their best to sell a car on one’s first visit to the dealership. Not only does the salesperson work on commission, but dealerships know that they can make more money if the shopper does not have time to shop around for a better deal. One the dealer knows that this your first car purchase, the pressure to make the purchase will only increase. Even if you have had time to do your due diligence for purchasing the vehicle, at least threatening to walk off of the car lot can result in getting a much better deal than taking the salesperson at their word and not negotiating the purchase price at all.
