Your best bet would be to see if you can find a truck that you know has been on a lot for greater then 30 days, because they will be more apt to wheel and deal to get rid of it. **Also KBB value is the worst to go by** , use NADA. Another thing is are you trading anything in, funny as it may seem you can sometimes get a better deal that way since they will markup your trade in where as a straight cash sale they have to make all their money on the vehicle your buying. Also most dealers do prefer you finance through a lender they have a relationship with cause they get a piece of the money. Worst to go by because the mark up is the highest, which is WHY dealers still use it… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-little-help-guys-dealership-sales-question/262649)._
