Be informed

Being informed is the key moment if you are planning to start negotiations. You just cannot go to the car dealer and ask for a reduced price on all the cars offered.

Research the market

Once you have settled on the car model you are really planning to purchase, once again do your research. See the most common price car dealers are offering this particular model, try and search on the official manufacturer's website for their prices. Find the balance and the golden mean and settle on the medium price, so you can then plan how much you can try and reduce it.

Reduce the price

This one highly depends on the actual and most common price for this particular model on the market, but of course, you can keep in mind some other factors. Is the car model you are planning to buy on the popular side and does it enjoy a lot of interest? You can also research what car dealers offer and see how much they are usually willing to reduce the price of this particular model. In fact, you can try and negotiate with a couple of car dealers and choose the best offer, don't get too excited about the first offer!
