(To hell with Murphy!)So let me lay out how to buy a car. Its very easy. Decide exactly what car you want to buy, make, color if it matters to you, options and so forth. Then do not go to a dealership. Let your fingers do the walking. Telephone all of the dealers who sell the vehicle youre interested in who are, say, within a 50 mile radius, a 25 mile radius, 75, however far youre willing to go. To each of them make the same statement: Hi, my name is so and so. I plan to buy such and such a car today at 5pm. Im going to buy it from the dealer who gives me the best price. What is your best price? The dealer may saythe person on the phone may say: Well sir or madam you cant buy a car on the telephone. Come in. Well give you the best price. The response to that is: I know I can buy a car this way because I know many cars have been purchased this way, so if you dont quote a price to me I understand that youre telling me you know you dont have the best price. I appreciate youre saving my time. Now they will either say thank you good bye or they will quote a price or they will say yes, but when I tell you a price youll call the next dealer and that person will quote a price that is $50 lower than mine and then youll go buy their car to which the response is: Thats right, so if you can go $50 lower this is your opportunity because I will buy from whoever gives me the lowest price and I need the full total price, taxes, everything. I dont want you to charge me $450 dealer prep to wash the car. I want a full end price. I will not discuss the price when I come in. I will come in with a check made out to whoever gave me the lowest price. If they renege I will walk out. I will have the second best price check in my pocket. I will go buy it from them. What is your best price? I have now bought 10 or 11 cars this way. I just got an email from a Marine officer who teaches an intelligence course. One of his students, another Marine read The Predictioneers Game, went out, bought a book, had written down what his dream price was for the car. He beat the dream price by $2,000. I just bought a car for about $6,000 less than one would have expected. I have a student who just bought a car for several thousand dollars below invoice. An Irish Times reporter bought a used car this way. He said this cant work, its ridiculous. He telephoned. He wrote an article. He said in ten minutes I bought a car for two and a half thousand Euros less than the highest price I was quoted, which was what I expected to pay. It actually works. So there is a good example of a simple problem just a little bit of logic. All the information flows from the dealers to you. You never ask the question what will it take to get me in this car today other than to say youre having the lowest price.
