1. Do your homework - know what you want and what your price range is.

2. Understand what drives a car salesperson - money and quotas.

3. Provide limited information - the salesperson does not need to know you need a car by the end of the week or you just received $5,000 from the insurance company.

4. Let the salesperson do the talking so you don't reveal too much.

5. Be disinterested - Be non-committal. Tell the salesperson you are just looking and comparing vehicles.

6. Don't go alone - bring a friend, family member or spouse with you. They can keep you from talking too much.

7. Have a pre-purchase inspection done by a technician prior to purchasing a vehicle. At Alan Cox Automotive a pre-purchase inspection is $94.00. You will receive a full assessment of the vehicle.

8. Check with Carfax.com, Edmunds.com or NADA.com to get the value of the vehicle you are purchasing and trade-in value.

9. Don't offer details about a trade-in. Make the deal before introducing a trade-in vehicle. If the salesperson asked about a trade-in, be non-committal. I am not sure. I might give my other car to my nephew.

10. Have financing ready ahead of time. Even if you use their financing, you have some information for comparison.
