How this woman got $2,000 off her Subaru Crosstrek by reaching out to seven dealerships
Jackie Reinhart and her husband were in need of a car and settled on a Subaru Crosstrek.
But Reinhart went one step further in her car hunt by accumulating some information from seven different dealerships.
The first place she rang up gave her quote of $29,005, which became her benchmark price.

Along with the other six dealerships, she put the prices into a spreadsheet.
“I’m telling them the same story. This is no financing. We are gonna pay up front, and we need this by the weekend,” she explained.
“What’s your out-of-the-door price for it?”
She yielded a lot of lower figures, usually sitting around the $28,000 mark.
When she called up a dealership in Raynham, she struck gold.
“Just to be completely transparent, I’m looking for the cheapest price. We’re paying cash. We need it today,” she told them.

“How about you just tell me what your basement price is, and I’ll match it. And then you don’t have to call the other dealerships,” the salesperson responded.
After talking it over with her husband, she paid a $200 deposit and headed over to the dealership.
The paperwork was signed, and they picked up the car the following day.
“It felt super simple, and I couldn’t believe what we got the car for,” she said.
“And my husband’s like, ‘How can you not believe it? You put in, like, two hours of work.'”
That sounds like a great payoff to us.

The secrets of the car dealership
The car dealership is often seen as an elusive place, shrouded in secrecy.
But thanks to social media, more tricks of the trade have been revealed – mostly by the salespeople.
Not that we’re complaining, as it helps the rest of us out a ton.
One retired salesman revealed the perfect way to answer common car dealership questions.
While another was setting the record straight about Tesla.
Even hand gestures have their own secret meanings that the rest of us don’t know about.
And when not revealing trade secrets, some salesmen have taken to explaining FWD, RWD, and AWD in a hilarious way.
