buying a new car? advice from an ex car salesperson

[DAC17]

Another approach, once you know what you want: I walked into my local Mazda dealer within a couple of days after they got the 2008.5 CWP MSP3 that I wanted (I knew by looking at their inventory site). I sat at the sales manager's desk, told him I would pay invoice for the car, and pick it up the next night. The whole process took less than 1 minute.

I came the next night, picked up the car, gave them their check and have loved every minute of owning it ever since.

YMMV.

just curious, but what should you do if a cars.com search yields 19 listings with every pricing "not listed"?

i would call the dealerships and ask to speak with the internet department or manager
