Can someone please post if they used chylld's spreadsheet to negotiate their deal.. I am sure it would make him feel happy to see that his excellent work is bringing rewards to others..

I sure did study the spreadsheet before I went into the dealership to negotiate a drive away price.

I started off with -15% and got knocked back . Sales rep made an offer the best discount he could give me was just -6%. I was about to walk away.

I was upfront with what I wanted to pay. Then, the Sales rep made an offer where it fell within the ballpark figure where I was willing to sign for a deal.

Just be patient. No need to rush. Work to within say 10% to 13% discount and you've done well.

Remember, there are more cars than buyers in a dealership showroom.

Great work, wish if found this earlier for the deal. hehehe, very fast update.

I got the corporate discount during negotiation, they asked me for a copy of the membership card, I didn't have it on me, I said will bring it in next time. However, they never asked for it again, I am a true member though
