How do you get the best deal when buying a new car?

I'm buying my first car and I wanted to know how you can get the best deal possible. Do you negotiate the price of the car and if so, what is the typical range you can negotiate for? Can you give me examples of how you got a good deal on your car and what you did? Thank you!

1. check the kelly blue book value...
2. i have explained this many times/ go to show room/or lot/pick out one car not some car/one in stock/take 23% off the bottom line and offer that/dont go for \"dock fees" get ready/ extras/tell the guy that you are a real customer and you are going to buy a car today/does he want to be the one to sell it/gotta be tough/dont be switched/stay concentrated/do not lose focus and stay on specific car
3. Kelly Blue Book is a great place to start. If you are intrested in a certain car look up the value of it, it will give you the value of what the car would be in excellent, good , or poor shape. If you can find a car thats priced under the kbb value that matches the car, Generally you are getting a good deal. The price of cars are 95% of the time negotiable. Also look for a reliable car, and just do the research! GOOD LUCK!

5. I would use the Kelley blue book and also go online and sign up for different sites, so dealers can come to you with the best deal. I just bought a Honda Civic and was able to negotiate it down by $3K. I don't know if that is a really high negotiation, but I am happy with the deal!
6. Check Kelly Blue Book, they have a web site. It's very easy. Always start low, you can always go up but you cannot come down once you make an offer. So if you think $3,000 is a fair price offer, $2,600 to start. Who knows maybe your offer will be accepted.
