Does anyone here follow Your Auto Advocate (renamed Your Advocate Alliance) on YouTube? Trying to learn how to negotiate to buy my first car. As if I wasn’t nervous enough to negotiate pricing before I’m even more so with 2022 market situation. Just wondering if anyone has used that channel or others similar to buy a car for an agreeable price these days

If anything, it’s easier to negotiate now. Target is pretty simple: paying MSRP is a win, above it is not.

Dude the win depends on the market. There are zero dealers that will sell a new vehicle for invoice in 2022. If you’re watching videos from 2020, you need to stop.

Once you have a price in mind do it all through email. That’s exactly how I bought my scatpack. Didn’t talk to anyone in person till I had my offer and if I didn’t like it, it made it much easier to counter as it was at my own pace. Made everything super smooth and didn’t feel pressured.

Drive whenever, I had ordered an RT that was being delivered from the factory. Went to dealership to put deposit down saw the scatpack drove it and when I got home I negotiated for the scatpack instead.

Put my dog down last night. He’s had seizures for the last 4 years and been taking 9 pills a day. Last night he had a seizure that didn’t stop, irreparable damage. I found him in a storage unit abandoned and 5 years wasn’t enough with him. Absolutely heartbroken, never been through this before. Any advice? His name was Kylo. Called my mom for support who told me “it’s a dog not a human, you’re being immature.” My boyfriend and I could really use some kind words. We’re so lost can’t stop crying.
