How to set a price for online listings

Avoid setting prices with round numbers like $100. Try $97 or $103 instead. Psychological studies show that with round numbers, people are more likely to negotiate in larger increments like $80 for something priced $100, whereas with more exact prices, people will tend to negotiate in small increments like $95 for something price $97.

Check financing options before buying car

When purchasing a vehicle, do research into the financing. At the end of the deal, you can mention "XYZ is offering.... What can you do?" This shows you have done your homework by knowing what offers are available, it gives the impression that you are not SOLD on this vehicle alone, and it allows them to meet an offer. Many times dealers have "wiggle room" in financing and this is a good way to get the best deal possible without being rude.
