Like most people, I'm really not interested in the games and BS of negotiating.
What techniques have worked out for you guys and what DID NOT work well?
Services like TrueCar are not longer as valuable as they were originally were. For instance, using a fixed price dealer nearby as a comparison, TrueCar shows a price for an EX that's $400 more than its 3 "Certified Dealers" have and for an EX w/ Sensing its a whopping $1,135 over what our dealer shows as their fixed price.
I've heard people get quotes just by emailing. Does that work? Do the Chat functions on the website work in terms of getting prices?
I've considered just coming up with a flat OTD price that I think is fair with the EXACT model and color I want and to say "call me if you can do it". Of course, they'll probably lie and when I drive 2 hours to get there find out that the person "isn't working today" and their offer isn't valid.
If you do face-to-face, how do YOU negotiate? Do you state the price you want? Do you just keep them talking? Do you bring in other offers?
What works?
