Talk what you know after they make 2 offers
Assertive, not aggressive
Hold your lips together tightly as the dealer plays his cards
Don't take the dealership’s position or attitude personally

Make a quality segment chart
The one price stories
There are no special deals just special methods
Why are one price techniques uesd
Cut the dealer ‘s expenses
Enhance the profits
It’s not about customer satisfaction
2+2 is not 5
No haggling does not mean a good price
Ho Hum prices at best
Shorter sales process, longer F&I time
Don’t let your guard down for a second
Negotiating is better for the customer and their satisfaction
One price gives a dealer higher profits as a whole
No matter what they say, haggle anyway, or move on

Electric vehicles throw off the average, way off
My trip proved a lot
Traveling with an EV, you are totally on your own

Day, week, month, time of day, all matter
The Weather can change timing
Holidays can help
Last day or the 32nd
Afternoon calm
Hot just like cold
Current, left over, late model used
When not to buy, like right now
Leasing times are similar, except now

Extended service plan, yes or no? What else after the sale?
Assuming good condition
Extended service plans are not warranties actually
Condition and care tell the story
Warranty price plus the deductible are the first repair
Extended warranties are a question
Extended warranty does not add in the trade in value
Keeping it? Yes
If buying a extended service plan, always from the Brand
With a warranty fix or trade is never a question
Low repair record equals high resale
Make sure you got what you paid for
Check everything after the delivery as well
Check all paperwork numbers
Is everything there?
Read the manual and if needed, get one
Used, change fluids
Clean it, if from an individual
Get all the carry on adds
Do the protections like sealant
Set up maintenance record
Air tag or tile
Better offer after you purchase? Always ask for more

Batteries require special metals
Batteries store coal power
500,000 pounds to move

Considered the least
Around the clock
Can you predict it?
What determines the value?
How to protect it
There are many factors
Brand can be big
Think it through first
