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.

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
