We went to a sorts of different dealerships and all the salesmen arn't happy when they heard "negotiate." Im like wtf? Recession? what happened to that effecting car industry? They pulled all sorts of tricks like giving like a crappy bit off and then with taxes, tags, and fees it came up to be the same as the sticker price. Im like before the recession we got better offers.

I said we're looking for something to replace it- I didnt say anything about selling it to them. Why would anyone sell back a car with over 200,000 miles anyway?

I said "negotiate." The deals we've gotten on our cars in the past were actually deals- the deals they are giving now arn't deals, you end up paying sticker price again anyway.

That's the thing, they aren't selling as many cars so they can't sell anything below sticker price.

You only get deals if the manufacturer is having rebates. I paid sticker price for my car in 2006. My only "deal" was that the sticker price included taxes, license and rustproofing. My boyfriend just bought his new car last week....same situation. He tried to negotiate and even walked away for a week. Nothing.

He called another dealership that was in a smaller town, and they weren't willing to match the price. But he negotiated with 2-3 different dealerships to get that price, too.
