Tips on negotiating with a toyota dealership Hi guys,
Looking to purchase a new rav 4 xle awd or xse awd, anyone have any advice on how to negotiate with a dealer on how to bring the price down. I purchased a corolla before around 2010 and noticed that they wouldn't budge at all. Any car salesmen have some advice on how to bring the price down a little bit? I'm not in a rush to purchase the vehicle, so I can play the waiting game.
In British Columbia Canada, I've done some work looking into dealerships, next plan is to send emails asking for out the door prices as well as invoices. Any other tips you would recommend?

If you're in Canada go the toyota.ca website. Use the Build & Price function to show you the different models and features. Once you decide which trim level you want, go to Unhaggle.com or CarCostCanada.com and get a report for the model you want. Go into your local Toyota dealer, and make an offer of 3% over invoice price, less any incentives that you qualify for. Doing anything else, and contacting multiple dealerships is a big waste of time.

Visit either CarCostCanada.com or Unhaggle, add 3% to the dealer cost, subtract manufacturer incentives, add tax and offer that to the dealership.
Car Dealership Questions / Recommendations So, I'm in the market for a new car / SUV (don't really know what to get yet). But I'm looking at a mid-size hatch/sedan (like a Jetta) or smaller SUV (like a Mazda CX-5).
Questions: Are there any Ottawa dealerships to stay away from? Also, when negotiating, what can I expect? Are all dealerships the same price (i.e. can I shop for a Mazda 3 at Kanata Centrum, take that price, and the go to another Mazda dealership for a better price).
Any tips or recommendations appreciated!
NOTE: So far, I've downloaded the raw data from the 2018 Fuel Consumption Guide --- it's really great!
(http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/efficiency/transportation/cars-light-trucks/buying/7487) It's a great tool to help compare fuel efficiencies.

Protip: You can get free reports from unhaggle.com and carcostcanada.com that list the invoice price for new vehicles you want (what the dealer actually pays). If you go in to a dealership with that knowledge, and offer (invoice + freight + pdi) + 3-5% profit margin it'd give a nice baseline to negotiate from instead of MSRP. I'd also suggest browsing /r/askcarsales

Have had great experiences with DOW & Civic motors Honda. When I last got a vehicle tow additional things I haven't seen mentioned yet is: 1. Know what the dealer pays ( carcostcanada or unhaggle). 2. Shop end of month when they are a bit more interested in hitting sales quotas
Are any of the dealerships in orangeville worth visiting?
Do they negotiate or is it best to look elsewhere?
In our experience with Dodge they don’t negotiate much so wondered if all were like that here?
