Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now

The sales decline was largely due to inventory shortages, high gas prices, and few incentives.

It took longer for cars to move off lots, with the average number of days rising from 48 in April to 54 in May.

Nonetheless, May was favorable to the 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The redesigned car is now the fastest-selling model, taking just three days to sell.

The 2011 Chrysler Sebring 200 also did well in May, taking only 19 days to sell.

The quicker a car sells, the less likely you'll be able to negotiate a great deal. Here are the best and worst cars to negotiate right now.
