[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 33940, member: 87"] Glad everything worked out for you!!! I am also usually the car negotiator in the family. husband hates dealing with car dealers (worse than I do). He doesn't try to negotiate at all. However, when we bought Angela's car, we only had $4,000 to spend. We went to a Saturn dealer where we knew they do not deal on the price of new cars but did not know they will not deal on the price of old cars. Well, we found a car that would be perfect for her. Sticker price $4,500. We test drove it and told the young man we would take it. We did not talk price at all. We were going to talk price when we were sitting down at the table. We sat down and the man started writing up the contract. He wrote down $4,500, and we said, "Oh, we don't want to pay $4,500. We only want to pay $4,000. He looked at us like we were nuts. He said that Saturn does not deal on prices, not even on used cars. husband happened to be in a hurry to get home to finish a custom paint job for a customer, so he stood up and said then we are leaving. We proceeded to walk towards the door. He ran after us and said wait, let me talk to my manager. He had us talk directly to the manager who said "we do not deal price." Now husband was really irritated 'cuz he really really had to get home. He said if you won't come down $500, we don't want the car. And we started walking toward the door. Well, well, well, wouldn't you know it, the manager says "I'm NOT supposed to do this, but I'll sell you the car for $4,000." OK, so we bought it. My dad always told me you have to be willing to walk away, and he did so many times. husband and I had always been afraid to...until that day when he wanted to get home. Sue [/QUOTE]
