I have read that the best time to haggle is at the end of the day and especially if you have your kids with you. THEY'RE more anxious to close the deal than YOU are. Best of luck!

We picked it up around 5:30 or 6, drove it in heavyish traffic back here, went up and down the driveway (slight scrape, but nothing to worry about, better than the van was). Took it to the time out, had a meal, got back late, 30 minutes till quitting time, and the guy hadn't had the van appraised, he was "busy". So I told him that a setback, and told him about the other place that's selling essentially the same car (same mileage, same year/model) for 1500 cheaper. I told him I don't like that dealership, but I'm not going to spend extra because I like this better. So I told him I'm not going to pay more than 14,500 for the car (1000 bucks less than this other place, btw) and that I won't accept less than 3500 for the van. Lowball away... he said he didn't know if he could scrape 2500 off the cost of the car, but he'd see what he could do. I told him to talk with who he needs to, and that I'll be calling him tomorrow. I also told him that we're not really worrying about financing, that I'm only talking an 'out the door' price. Played the dead wife card, in saying that I really don't want to spend more of this money than I have to because... "its all I have left of her" (I'd like to thank the academy...)

Fabulous!! My girls would never work for that. Belli would give them 5k for a pink gumball out of the machine and Rachel would forget what she was supposed to do. Sigh,.... Brilliant idea to use the youngster in negotations. Fabulous!!
