To do list:
1. get Consumer Reports computer printout of exact
cost to the dealer of the options and base price
2. review prices in newspaper of slightly used cars of
the same model to see how much value is lost when you
drive it out of the showroom (might use this in
negotiating)
3. identify which dealers have same car and same
model; and which have similar cars and the price
charged for these vehicles (preferably after
bargaining to get a fair comparison) so we can better
understand our alternatives (our BATNA)
Summary of negotiation outcome (include objective,
dynamics, results):
(written after the negotiation)
Objective: save at least thousand over advertised price.
Dynamics: the salesman was real friendly at first, then
he seemed to act like he was doing my wife and I
a favor; then he was quite annoyed as we went back and
forth and showed we knew what other dealers were
actually selling the car and model we wanted. We had
to get up and walk away to actually get the right
price at the end. After it was all over, the salesman
was friendly again. His manager tried to also get us
to pay a higher price, and at the end he seemed to
make the final decisions. He was distant but
professional.
Outcome: we saved $1350 over the advertised price, and
we avoided having to buy options we didn't want.
