Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now
The bad news is that most of these new models are commanding high prices due to their low supply.
If you've been shopping for a 2012 model, you know that some are very difficult to find in the colors and options you desire.
We've compiled a list of the Best and Worst cars to consider right now based on negotiation flexibility.
The cars that are on the Worst list have very low inventory numbers and tend to sell very quickly. It's best to hold off buying for a few months if you're considering one of these models.
On our Best Cars list are the models that no one seems to want to buy right now, but which present a great buying opportunity for those that do.
As always, be sure to use our Car Negotiation Method to land the best possible deal.

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
