That's a good approach and works best when you're shopping based on make, model and color only. The minute you start listing out specific equipment packages all the dealers are going to come in within a few hundred bucks of each other. The trick with this approach is to find the make and model you want with the best equipment package at the lowest price.

Since dealers inventories seldom match car for car, your best bet is going with make, model and color only. Ultimately one dealer will have the lowest price on a base model, while another dealer will have the best price on the same vehicle with the best equipment package.

Guess which one you want to buy?
