Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate: April 2011

It was a record sales month for many automakers which is good news for car dealers, but not so-good news for car buyers.
It's definitely starting to become a seller's market, especially with the shortages resulting from Japan's disaster last month.
The average number of days it took to sell a car increased slightly to 48 days. 60 days is considered normal, so there's currently a shortage of vehicles.
Let's take a look at some of the best and worst cars when it comes to price flexibility:

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and Ryde Shopper are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
