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.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
