Best and Worst Cars for Price Negotiation

If car manufacturers are too optimistic with their sales forecasts, they end up producing too many cars and those cars end up sitting on dealer lots.
The reverse is also true - if a car maker can't produce enough cars to meet demand, those cars will sell almost as soon as they hit dealer lots.
If a dealer knows demand is high, they're not going to negotiate much on price. On the other hand, if the car isn't selling quickly, a dealer will be more willing to lower the price.
Last month, the average number of days it took to sell a 2011 model year vehicle was 35 days.
The fastest sellers sold in as little as 3 days, while the slowest sellers took almost 150 days.
Here's a current list of the slowest selling 2011 model year vehicles. You should be able to negotiate heavily when it comes to purchase price.
