We are both looking for a used car to replace the one she has and she has found the one she wants. I have never bought a car from a dealer so I am taking it slow, test drive it one day, haggle on the price a couple of days later. She is getting so upset that we cant just buy the car then and there...I have to keep bickering about how buying a car isnt like buying a loaf of bread at Walmart, and that it takes a little time. How do I make her realize that it takes time to get a good feel for the car, get it checked out, and get a good deal. I cant do that in 2 hours!
 
lol


she will only stop bickering when she gets the car


hopefully only a week or so left though, then she'll be happy as if it never happened
 
Your right but your wrong, If you know it's a good car, and a good price, get it. otherwise someone else will... and if that happens, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near you when that bombshell goes off.

If your really trying to get a good understanding, then you should be doing research, going to other dealers and looking at the same type of car or comparable cars. You should take the car to a mechanic you trust and get them to look at it. Dealers are in the game to make money, your only going to get so good a price before the dealer says "this guy isn't worth the trouble, i'll just wait for another customer" If the dealer knows he's got a good price, then he knows someone will buy it for what he's asking. It's not like your the only one looking for a car. Ask if you can take the car for a fwe hours to have a mechanic look at it. If you like the car and you have done your research, Get the car, try to get a slightly better price if you can, but your decision should be made on the sticker price, if it's a good deal, then it's a good deal, if it's not, go elsewhere.
