I tried the search function and did not come up with anything like this...so if it is "out there" please let me know
My DW will be changing job$ in a couple of weeks and will be giving up her company car.....she will be getting a travel allowance but the vehicle is her choice and responsibilty....she's had a company vehicle for so long I have not had the need to negotiate a car deal for over 20 years!
My last several vehicles were Toyotas that I purchased directly thru a client who was (is) the General Manager of the dealership....no haggle, just a great price and stroked 'em a check....now on to my DW...
She is of the LBYM mentality but for her the "B" stands for "beyond"...so we are looking at the upper end Toyota product - Lexus - and of course, that puts my guy out of the picture....
(finally the point of this post) So I will be negotiating an auto deal for the 1st time in 20 years or so....and I was hoping for some input from those that have traveled the "car buying road"....advice, negotiating skills....heck ANYTHING that you think might help!
I am a member of Costco and have done some online research and see that a price from their car buying service would be something akin to what I have been use to in the past....BUT....am I leaving $$$ on the table??
Thanks in advance for your imput!!
