With a private party, you agree on a price and you write a check. With a dealer, you agree on a price with the salesman and are then handed off to the business guy who talks about tax, prep, title, license, etching, fabric protection, addl warranty etc. It takes a determined and knowledgeable buyer to keep saying nonono. The familiar buyer phrase at the end is, "Jeez!! How'd the price get from $X to $X+N??? Last time I did this, I took along a pad, and divided the page into quarters -- car price; tax, reg, title; non-negotiable dealer charges; negotiable dealer charges. I get my own financing separately before the purchase, but I'm willing to let the dealer try to beat the rate. Never negotiate on monthly payment; decide beforehand how much you're financing and over what term.
