Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate a Good Deal

The only three cars on the list were all luxury models.
The fastest-selling non-luxury car was the Chevy Cruze, sitting on lots for only 16 days before being sold.
The faster a car sells, the less negotiating room you have on the price. Dealers can't keep the cars on the lot, so why would they sell it at a low price?
However brisk some sales of new models were, the lingering 2010s have slowed the average time it takes to sell a new car to 83 days.
That's up from 69 days in October and is the slowest of the year.

3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money
The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network
Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect
TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.Step 3 Complete my Checklist
