      Note:

      Several resources are mentioned in this publication that you may find useful when buying a vehicle. The author is in no way connected to any of these resources and does not have a financial stake in any of them. The author simply recommends them on his own personal experience.

      Introduction

      By following the steps laid out in this publication, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your next vehicle purchase. I’ll show you how to negotiate to the absolute bottom dollar the dealer is willing to sell their vehicle for, and how to avoid various traps and pitfalls along the way. While I am writing this publication with dealer purchases in mind, many of these techniques are also applicable to private purchases.

      Please read all of steps 1 through 6 before making your next vehicle purchase, though you may skip step 5 if you are buying a new vehicle. If you skip a step, you may get trapped by one of the multiple gimmicks dealers use to wring more money out of their customers. You may want to take a peek at the glossary before you begin if you are unfamiliar with some of the common terms in the automotive business.

      Enjoy your savings!

Skipping this step may mean thousands of dollars out of
