Stay Firm and Hold Your Ground. Know When to Walk. If you encounter these tactics, head to another dealer: The salesperson may try to convince you that the rebate or low-cost financing is available only to customers who pay the sticker price.
This is not true. Rebates come directly from the manufacturer regardless of the price you agree to at a dealership.
