Best & Worst Cars to Negotiate

The less time a car is parked on a dealer's lot, the more popular it is - meaning you as the consumer will have less wiggle room when it comes to negotiating.

According to Cars.com, the fastest selling vehicle last month was the 2016 BMW X5, only taking 7 days to sell. Four vehicles were tied for second place, all taking only eight days to sell -- the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE350, 2016 Subaru Legacy, 2016 Subaru Outback, and 2016 Toyota Camry.

On the flip-side, the 2015 Fiat 500 hatchback took the longest to sell in August, hanging out on dealer lots for an average of 203 days. Other hard-to-move vehicles included the 2015 Toyota Yaris two-door hatchback taking 185 days to sell, 2015 Cadillac ATS sedan taking 158 days, and 2015 Kia Forte Koup taking 154 days.

You should try to postpone purchasing a vehicle that's on the Hard to Negotiate list. Waiting a few months will usually save you a lot of money. If it meet your needs, consider purchasing the models on the Easiest to Negotiate list. These models offer the best opportunities for deals since they should be plentiful on dealer lots.

As always, I highly recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to get the best deal possible on any of these vehicles.
