Negotiation:
The best negotiating is no negotiating
Being rude or angry does not work
Assertive not aggressive
No matter what you offer, the dealer will try to bump
Hold your lips together tightly and listen.
Don’t acknowledge the price post
Don’t take the other people’s position or attitude personally
The difference between the ACV and allowance
Get in the river at the top
