The Hardest Cars to Negotiate Right Now
But since most of them have just arrived, the demand outstrips supply by a good margin.
This will change over the next several months, but for those who need a car right now, it's difficult to negotiate a good deal.
For cars that are in highest demand, many dealers are finding eager customers willing to pay over MSRP.
As if that's not bad enough, it can also be hard to find models to choose from. You're likely going to have to settle for colors and options that may not be your first choice.
Right now, the hardest car to negotiate is the Hyundai Veloster - a model that was just released this month. Good luck finding one on dealer lots as most have already been pre-sold.
The smart thing to do is hold off buying any one of these models until next year, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.
If on the other hand, you're able to negotiate a great deal on one, we'd love to hear about it and let our readers know.
