2nd make sure you already know what you want before you walk in anywhere, because they'll get you off your car and into something else that you know nothing about if you're not paying attention.
You should line your financing up before you walk into a dealership. Have a check in hand that you just need to fill out the amount to purchase and be firm. Decide what you're not willing to pay more than, and start off below that number. Considerably below that number if it's reasonable.
Finally, DON'T GET THE ****ING CAR HOTS. Don't get yourself stuck on one vehicle to the point that you forget there are literally thousands of others that are just like it. It's your money, you're in control. Don't be one of the thousands of people that forget that fact during the buying process. Don't be a pushover.
Good luck dude. And you should definitely buy privately if you can find what you want. The negotiation process is much easier. Chances are someone wants out of the payment you're trying to get into.
