I posted the following to Twitter while at a Honda dealership

We were't planning on going to the dealership on a Friday afternoon but came across a listing on TrueCar and wanted to see if we could get this car any lower.

2017 Honda CR-V EX-L FWD For Sale in SAN FRANCISCO, CA | TrueCar

A brand new 2019 version of the car we are trying to get (Honda CRV - EX L) is listed as $29,750 before taxes and fees and from our understanding, nothing really notable has changed from the 2017 model to the 2019 model so we were intrigued by this basically new car.

We didn't end up getting the car from that dealership because the car mileage was not as listed and we were kinda treated poorly so here i am on Sunday AM reviewing all the tips i received:

Tips:

• Never pay over invoice via Daniel Rakh
• Start with invoice price. Work with two to three dealerships in a form or reverse auction. via John Frankel
• Call with a low ball offer to get their best offer via Kyle Wharton
• Find the car you want. Call multiple dealers and tell them you’re shopping for price. Have them give you offers... some won’t, since they know you’re looking for price. A few will go for it via Alex Blimes
• Go in on the last Tuesday of the month. Tue is the emptiest day and the end of month is better to negotiate because of quota pressure (either behind quota or ahead, both work in your favor). via Lino Gill
• Silence and awkwardness are key via Kyle Lawson
• Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight via Josh Felser
• Carvana was suggested by Sarah Simmons
  • Hadn't heard of them in the past. Here's what they currently have for the model we want:
    • Honda CRV EX-L 2017 18,097 miles all in for $31,888 [link]
