My Gift to You is This Car Buying Advice
Contrary to what the current Toyota TV car commercial suggests young couples say within earshot of any dealer personnel, do not announce, "I'm going to buy a car today."
It gives the dealer or salesman an unfair advantage over you when it comes time to negotiate the car's price.
Instead, you should always, in principle, be willing to walk away from the table if you don't think you are getting the deal you want.
Telling them you intend to buy a car today allows them to squeeze a few more bucks, maybe hundreds...maybe thousands, from you because they will know you won't likely walk out without accomplishing your goal.
An important tactic to keep in mind in 2014 and always.
Happy New Year.
