Research Multiple Dealers and do it in this order Start Locally: Identify multiple dealerships in your own area and nearby cities. Hopefully you can find a vehicle that matches what you’re looking for. Next, Expand Regionally: Look for out-of-the-area Dealers, and even out-of-state dealers if you’re comfortable traveling or arranging delivery. Next, Use Online Tools: Websites like Autotrader, Cars.com, and TrueCar allow you to find vehicles across the country and often provide dealer contact info. Liz will share several others specific to car brands, so i’ll leave that to her. Put Hands on! This is a request that is SO GOOD that I want you to ask it of every dealer you contact. There’s three specific reasons why you say this for any vehicle you call them about. First, you say “I want to give you my contact number, and then do me a favor, go “put hands on” this vehicle. When you have verified it’s there, call or text me back. When you say “Put hands on,” you are demonstrating to the dealer that you are NO ordinary car buyer. That’s a bonus for you because knowledgeable car buyers get better treatment and better deals. Secondly, you are requesting physical verification that the vehicle is there, and that’s important to know. Lastly, it demonstrates to the dealer that you are a buyer who is motivated and considering an immediate purchase, if the deal is right. Now you have a motivated dealer on the other end because they LOVE an eager and ready buyer, and they will work harder to EARN your business! 2. Make a spreadsheet and start gathering Information About the Vehicles you are finding. Always have a spreadsheet for organization purposes! Before reaching out, have all the details nailed down. Know exactly what you’re looking for: Make, Model, Year, and Trim Level Specific Features or Packages Color Preferences both Interior and Exterior Leather or cloth seats Condition of the vehicle (If Used) Let them know you want a PPI Mileage of course! (Some NEW, especially for ALL used vehicles) 3. Start Contacting Dealerships Reach out via phone, email, or online chat to request OTD quotes. Here's how: Be Specific: Find the vehicle you want on the dealer website and have a stock number ready. Start by giving them a stock number of the vehicle on their lot. Provide the details of the car you want and ask for their best OTD price, including fees, taxes, and any additional costs. Example: "I’m interested in a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XLE in [color]. What’s your best OTD out-the-door price?” Ask About Availability: Confirm the car is actually in stock. Remember the “Put hands on” request. Request an Itemized Quote: Make sure the OTD quote includes all costs (e.g., vehicle price, dealer fees, taxes, title, registration). LIZ: # 6. Use Quotes as Leverage Share quotes with other dealers to encourage them to match or beat the price: Example: “Another dealer quoted me $X for the same car. Can you do better?” If the price is real, and it better be, remember that what ONE Dealer can do, ANY Dealer can do. Be honest but strategic—only share enough details to keep the dealer interested without revealing your full negotiation plan. Never play ALL of your cards on the first go at it.
