It's funny when people complain about salesmen not knowing the product. It usually doesn't translate to a lower transaction price for those that know more about the car. Learn how to negotiate and it will get you much further than product knowledge.

This is one thing that I would very much like to get better at. I'm actually a good salesman and I can negotiate, but I no nothing about auto pricing and where the inflate the prices, so I don't know what's reasonable to fight them in and what's not.
It basically goes, I want a lower price, they say no,it's below msrp (or whatever) and I don't know what reasons to quote as to why they should do what I want lol.
I will say that when I bought my wife's audio A4 they tried to put a $990 "dealer document fee" in there. Googled it and found that it was just a bs markup so I called them on it, got it taken care of. Ended up getting a 2007 Audi A4 with 35,000 miles in great shape for $18,000. Not to bad but I wonder if I could have done better...
