How to get the best price?

[sunrisewatcher]

Hi I am planning to buy a new car, 2003 Honda Accord EX Coupe Manual 4-Cyl to be specific. I understand that if I should go to a dealership, I should bargain from its invoice price ($19,990). I have also gone to CarsDirect and it's selling for $100 below invoice.

Is buying online the way to go? Where can I get the best price? Even if I know someone from a certain dealership, they can't possible offer me anything below invoice price, right?

Thank you very much! Please help! I am a first time buyer.

fax different dealerships and tell them exactly what you want, and then have them quote a price. then you can start them on a bidding war. youll end up getting it for a good price, because they all want your business. a friend of mine recently got a new camry and an altima for his sister, both below invoice.

my mom just bought a new honda accord ex sedan about 3,000 below list price.....and she got them to pay off our 2002 Camaro z28 and give me a 1000 bux for my old 93 eclipse....all it takes is a good game face and some haggling skillz
