Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now

July 14, 2011
Hyundai vehicles have been flying off dealer lots lately.

With new products like the Sonata, the Elantra and now the Accent finding great favor with buyers looking for fuel-efficiency and low price.

Hyundai currently holds two of the top three spots on this month's Hardest to Negotiate list with the Elantra and all-new Accent subcompact.

Although it's hard to negotiate heavily on these Hyundais, you can still get a fairly decent deal because of Hyundai's incentive and lease programs.

Also note that Hyundai vehicles typically come standard with options that cost extra in competing vehicles. When you take this into account, the deals are pretty good even if you can't negotiate much off the price.

You may have a hard time finding the colors and options you desire, so it's best if you can wait a few months to sit back and keep an eye on the market.

Cars that get good gas mileage are the ones selling the fastest (and thus hardest to negotiate).

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.
