Reply to comment by TROLLMEIZTER in Financing a new car? by Silly_willy__

So how do I get it to a monthly payment I can afford though if I don’t negotiate it?

Go online and find a loan calculator. Play around with it and see what you can afford. Familiarize yourself with how the interest rate and the length of the loan affect the payment. The big thing you're negotiating is the price and interest rate.

Can you negotiate price on a new vehicle? Or are you negotiating the add ons?

Maybe you can try to negotiate both but they don't have to. Most Hondas have a waiting list to get a new one.

You don't negotiating payments, you negotiate the price out the door. Payments are easier to digest, $20000 or $350 a month.

I would contact a local muffler shop I had the same issue a few years ago. Dealership wanted 2k for replacement catalytic converter, local muffler shop was $350. Honda's are good cars and can last 250k miles. It will be cheaper to maintain for a bit longer, car prices are coming down.

He/She is saying negotiate the final out the door price aka the big number. Negotiating the monthly payment does nothing as they can change how long you will pay the car for her to lower a monthly payment.
