Looking at buying a 2012 Chevy cruze from a used dealership. Any tips for talking the dealer down on price?

dont be a douche about getting them to lower it or they will not.

i normally point out stuff that i see ie scratches, rock chips ect and ask them if there is anything they can do about it.

Go with a fair price in mind, leave contact info, don't be afraid to walk away.

Don't look overly anxious to buy also as if you seem like you are just kicking tires they will definitely work more with price. And everything the man above me said.

This. Don't be afraid, and commit if you start. If you walk away and then turn around as soon as you get to the door, they know they have you by the balls.

Be firm while not being an asshole, and let them think about it for a bit.

Check for the soldering etc and see if everything looks factory, check the smell under the carpet to see if car has been flooded, and check the gaps between the pieces of the car outside to see if they are even, if they're not, it's been in an accident.

Check the room of the gap between the tires to the tire wall towards the front door. Use a ruler and see if the length is the same, if not, it's probably been in a crash.

Start the engine let it idle for 10-15 minute see if there are any weird sound, harmony is what you want.

Finally take it for a drive and check all power options, windows, audio system, air condition etc and see if all functional.

Pm me if u got any questions, happy to help.

This is completely untrue. I worked in an autobody shop for quite awhile and helped disassemble and reassemble many vehicles and almost nothing from factory is totally even.

Go to the Ford dealership and look down the side of an F-150. They have waves and ripples in the metal that does not match and is impossible to replicate. Trust me we at every auto body shop tried to replicate it.

Ya it is amazing what factory's get away with putting out sometimes

Just curious, What is everyone's opinion on buying a car that was leased?

Totally has to do with how much has depreciated, how much you have into it and how much more you have to pay out at the end.

My mother has a Toyota Corolla Sport and she loves it and plans to buy it once the lease is up.
