Anyone have any advice? Know someone who works at a dealership or work at one yourself?

Anything I should say or ask for? Any tips on how to get the best price/deal/etc?

Thanks in advance.

My advice. Pay cash for a vehicle. Don't buy a brand new vehicle.

You're welcome in advance.

Don't lease. But go ask on the money board and you'll get a better answer.

Fascinating that people can still be lured into leasing an automobile...

A fool and his money soon part made the leap into the information age no problem.

I would never lease a vehicle.

I'll give different advice. Leasing a vehicle isn't always a bad idea. It just depends on your situation. The two things to think about are how much you drive annually and are you comfortable being left with nothing at the end of the lease. Usually a lease allows 12-14,000 miles a year. My cousin lives in Chicago and has leased for over 10 years now. He uses public transportation most of the time, though and has built a good relationship with a dealership that gives him a good deal every 2-3 years.

That said, if you want a luxury vehicle and have to justify that want by leasing it, it's probably not the best idea. Plus it sounds like you're considering a used vehicle, which I didn't even realize they did, but sounds like an even worse idea.
