Often, and maybe just as, or more important than the price you pay, is the car's true cost to own [TCO]; you probably know to go to Edmunds for that too.

As well, check out the specials that are being offered from the dealer/manufacturer; I recently bought a car and circumstances had it that it was the end of the month, and the salesmen/sales managers were falling all over themselves to write a sale, to meet their sales quotas.

Some salesmen receive $$$ bonuses from the manufacturer's..for quantity sales....
