I can vouch for this as well. Be polite, but firm.

Husband and I went to just look at some vans. Nothing wrong with ours and it was only two years old. It was something to do. Then he wondered if we could negotiate a lower payment on a new van. Fine. I am the one who haggles and deals with the sales person. We found the one we liked and the sales guy came over. We go in and he starts running the numbers. He slides a total joke of a number over to husband and I take it. No. I told him. That won't do. Then I explained we have a 2 yr old van that is perfectly fine. We want the payment to be less than what we have now, or no deal. Sales guy kept running back and forth, supposedly to a manager, to ask for lower numbers. I kept telling him no. Husband wants the new van bad now and is cracking. I refuse to allow the sales person to speak with him by answering for husband and interrupting. Sales guy disappears and comes back again with his "final offer". "Best we can do." I grab husband and stand up, tell the sales guy I'm sorry we wasted his time. That still isn't good enough. He was $10 a month over what our current payment was. And we start walking away. Husband knows it's the right thing to do, but is really pushing me to give. Not going to happen. Reaching the door outside, sales guy comes running after us. Finally, he gives me a number that is $30 less than our current van payment. "You've got a deal." I told him.

Best part, the brand new van had the power package and CD player. The 2 yr old van we just traded didn't have squat. Just a radio, and crank windows, no power seats...nada. We saved $30 a month on the new van, plus another $45 a month on insurance because of additional air bags. I was also able to get them to pay tax and tags and cough up free mats. We paid that sucker off 5 years ago and it's still running strong.

Thank you!
