Cars That Are Easy to Negotiate
March 15, 2012
Each month, Cars.com compiles a list of "movers and losers", tracking the fastest and slowest-selling models in the market right now.
Since Cars.com has one of the largest inventory of new-car listings, they know exactly how long it takes each vehicle to sell once it is listed. The faster a car sells, the less likely dealers are willing to negotiate, and vice-versa.
Timing the market is essential if you're serious about saving money. If you're in the market to buy, it's a good idea to keep an eye on this list and consider purchasing a model that's on the "easy to negotiate" list.
