Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate in October

Now that the overwhelming majority of cars are pretty reliable and safe, hunting for the best deal can becoming more important than ever.

Here is a list of cars that offer you the best and the worst opportunity to negotiate a good deal.

Each pick is based on a variety of factors, the most important point being how long it takes a dealer to sell that model.

The longer a particular vehicle sits on the dealership lot, the more likely bigger discounts will be accepted.

Not surprisingly, the list of best cars to negotiate are all leftover 2011 models, so you might have to hurry a little to ride this particular discount train.

Or you could just wait for those newer models to sit around and age a bit.
