When a dealer advertises a “no haggle” price for a used car, it’s totally negotiable right?

“ok, but will you take
“no, the price is not negotiable ”
“cool, so throw in a free roof rack, or pay more for my trade in”

No Haggle Price
: this is the price you will pay if you choose not
to haggle.

Depends on the car. Some innventory never sticks around for long so they will wait for their price. If it has been on the lot for a bit I would be inclined to believe the price is flexible.

Sure just tell them you want the haggle price instead!
I mean Carmax can stick to their guns, but at a non-chain place why not?

Over the past few years I’ve found that most new car dealerships have gotten increasingly hesitant to negotiate on used car prices advertised online. They act like to put a price on the internet they’re required to make their best offer. I still negotiate anyway.

*work in dealer advertising
The answer is yes & no. Some dealers advertise “No Haggle” but are willing to negotiate a lower price ~ however it’s obviously not thousands lower like on a new car. Our lot is like this and will usually allow 500-1000 is negotiating room on pre-owned.
Other are truly No Haggle and the price is what it is. My advice is lookup the comparable market for the car in question and offer a fair price. Worst they can say is no.

I tried that with a Toyota dealer. They lost a sale over $500.

No haggle to me means they’re telling you to pound sand in advance

The key is to go to every used car valuation site you can find. Edmunds, NADA, KBB, TrueCar, etc. Pick the highest $$$ one for your trade, and the lowest $$$ one for the car you are purchasing. Then exaggerate each by about $2,500, and that’s your first offer to the dealer.
Make sure you say that the store across town already agreed to it, but you don’t want to drive all the way there.

I offered a dealer 600 off a Mini Cooper s a couple years back and told them I was going to go look at a few other cars. I left my contact info and they followed up a few days later and had no interest in dropping the price. It sat for a few weeks. They seemed really committed to “no haggle”.

Truthfully there is very little margin in used cars bought at auction.

learned recently that if you don’t get the price you want you should get your car crushed instead so that no one can have it.

I have been places that do late model “high line” cars like Mercedes, Audi, BMW, etc They do a lot of business on eBay and have to competitive off the bat with listed prices. They may do $500 or $1000 off.

“OK, I’ll check back with you closer to your dealer’s year-end cut off date for incentive payments”.
