I agree on price before I even show up to the lot. The nice thing about a new car is you don't really have to make an offer based on condition - you know exactly what you're getting with the options listed. I like to make it clear that I don't have time or interest in playing games, am ready to purchase in a matter of days, have great credit, and they would benefit from sending their best offer. You rarely get the best, best offer on the first try, but they change their answer when you thank them for their time and let them know you'll be buying from another dealer (and attach the offer).

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
