answer:We usually go online first, and find all the comparable cars. We then go to a dealer, and if he tries to sell us something we don’t want, we just leave. With the past two new cars we bought, they lowered the price to the lowest price we found online. The last time we went to buy a new car, the dealer showed us a very low mileage used car with the same warranty as a new car, and we bought it – saving thousands of dollars. The most recent car purchase, a used car, was handled for us by our credit union. They found the cheapest, lowest mileage car, and arranged for the dealer to deliver it to us. We signed the papers in our home, and the dealer and his sales person drove away in their car, leaving our shiny, used car in our driveway. Before we accepted the credit union deal, we had spent two weeks looking at cars all over town, so we knew they got us the best deal possible – from a dealer 75 miles away. I would have never driven that far for a car.
