[y/asucks]

Ok, so I am selling my old car and starting the look for a 'new' one. 'New' because, new to me, but it will be a used car.

I am looking at a good sporty car, around $4-$8k or so iguess.

When i bought my current car, i think i got taken for a ride.

I'm glad i had my Bros. there, which he is much better at haggling at me.

I am generally somewhat shy, and don't like confrontation so haggling comes hard to me, even though it's MY HARD EARNED MONEY.

I was wondering, can anybody please give me tips, sugestions, common tactics used by sales ppl, and ANY other haggling tips?

i found this site:

anything more like that??

I plan on paying cash, so i SHOULD be able to get a better deal.
***MORE INFO***

when i bought my current car, it was advertised as $6100 ON the car, but $5500 online.

I liked it, and i have this TERRIBLE habit of thinking, that if i don't get THAT car soon, someone else will and my offer will be gone.

I KNOW IT'S BAD >_<

I sat down with him, and the total after taxes and fees came to like $6200

I got him to lower it to $5500 out the door.

I felt it was O.K, but when i think back , I FEEL I GOT USED.

Again, any help and ideas, please PLEASE help.

My parents have LOADS of experience and get PLENTY of good deals, could it be because I look so young??? (I'm 20)
