You have had plenty of VERY good advice. I actually LIKE car buying. I do my shopping in Dec for either the last years model, demo or certified. Currently, I’m looking at buying 4 GMC’s for my husband’s company.

Internet contacts have better pricing than walking in cold. After doing the edmunds.com research, etc., know what you want to spend…all in. Tax, tag, title, fees, etc., and be ready to walk.

Inthebiz…just tried Costco for the first time. I got the same dealer at the better price.

I never pays dealer fees unless they throw in loaners (you won’t get one with a Honda w/o asking), annual maintenance and oil changes. These all are necessary costs to the owner so see if you can factor in the service to offset the fees.
