A lot has already been said here but along the same lines... and my experience has been with cars/trucks.

* Plan to be there all day. Take a few snacks because you will get hungry. Being hungry with a headache will lead to bad decisions because you will do almost anything for some food. (Been there)
* Don't let them know you're in a bind and NEED a vehicle
* Research what you're buying so you don't try to negotiate an offer that will never happen
* The more money you have down, the better. They don't want that cash leaving their lot. IMO, A few thousand down does not give you negotiating power.
* Do not discuss your trade-in until you get the sales price agreed upon.
* Don't fall for that 4 square diagram where they write down the monthly payment/sales price/trade/and % rate.
* Don't be a jerk
* Be prepared to walk away. If you're not making progress, politely let them know you have an appointment with another dealer. This goes back to not discussing your trade. They will take your keys and hold you hostage when you try to leave. (Been there too)

I got what I feel was a good deal after driving about 9 different trucks.

Ask them what their Redline is. Redline is the minimum average the General Manager says they need to make per deal. Then aim under that amount.

I've never had a payment that cheap lol. Are you financing a moped?

My Shelby is 284 a month

Boat. Payment turned out to be $244. Arg.

For how many months, and what was the price (before financing)?

[Gasser64]

With internet competition... I bet dealers are much lower on their profit margins. That being said, some simple research should tell you what a good deal is. If you cant match or beat that deal, keep shopping.

I loath negotiations and "the game". I'm sure lots of people get better deals then me, but this seems to be the least hassle (to me). I get pre-approved through my bank, if they can beat the rate, great. I look up X-plan plus current incentives, and if they beat that great. I tell them I do not want any of the bullshit extended warranties / tire warranty / undercarriage crap / etc from their financing department. If they can get me in what I want for that, we move forward. It's not worth the time to me to nickel and dime more then that. I bought at Rockwall Ford that way, and Grapevine Ford that way. No matter what "deal" you get, someone will post the next day online about how much better of a deal they got then you.

What size motor did you go with and did you get a 15 year note?
