I'm not great with cars, but here are some common sense tips...

Know what you're looking for before you go. Know the optional accessories that you need or don't need. If you don't need seat warmers, avoid spending extra money on shit like that. Non-standard items only help to increase profit and most people can live without.

Also, avoid buying a NEW car. Once you drive it off of the lot, you just lost thousands of dollars in value. Used cars retain their value much better, and you can get a lot better deals on used rather than new.

Don't lease the vehicle unless you know it won't be abused or driven a lot. Charges add up in a hurry. My parents know this from his current car. My dad would have owed a large sum of money had he not decided to buy his car outright at the end of his lease.

The MSRP is just an arbitrary number. Don't think it's a good deal.

whoa.
