You can even special order one, You'll then buy that car for a price that's some percentage above or below the dealer's invoice. The price you'll pay is determined by several factors: popularity, dealer incentives, flooring - you know all this stuff. But it's an agreed-to price between the dealer and Costco that the dealer...

But with only fair or mediocre credit, you'll likely pay higher rates and qualify for lower loan limits-if you're eligible for a loan at all. Do research. Find out in advance the invoice price (dealer's cost, minus incentives) and bargain up from that, rather than down from the manufacturer's recommended "sticker price." Research invoice amounts online at sites like Kelly Blue Book (www.kbb.com), www.edmunds.com, and www.cars.com.

Car buyers often focus on haggling down a dealer's offer toward invoice price. That's OK, but often that's not where the real money is, says a former car dealer in his new book. Instead of the purchase price, consumers should focus on other components of the deal, especially loans, trade-ins and their desire to buy more car than they can afford, said Mark Ragsdale, author of "Car Wreck: How You Got Rear-Ended, Run Over & Crushed by the U.S. Auto Industry.

Both agree hours of frustration can be avoided with a bit of homework. According to [Jack Nerad], the best place to start isn't on a dealer's lot. He says: "Decide what you can afford first - yeah, you want a new S550, but why test-drive one if it's going to cost too much? If you'll need financing, according to Nerad, the best strategy is to get your financing pre-approved before you walk through a dealer's door. That will eliminate a major hassle once you've found a car that you want. Dealers figure if the process is dragged out long enough, you'll sign just so you can go home. But don't get tense or give the salesperson attitude. "Your goal is to get a fair deal," Nerad says. "Remember, you have the power."
