Do all of the dealing via email only. Then go in to test drive when you have the numbers you like with explicit instructions that if those numbers change, you’re walking. Only be available to come in 30min before closing. Understand that during the paperwork process the finance person has to try to sell you the warranties/dealer shit. Let them know upfront you aren’t buying any of it and will say no to everything. Don’t be mean, but don’t be nice. They have a job they gotta do, but it’s best to let them know they’re not getting any more commission out of you, so efficiency is their friend.
They will want to call you. Don’t answer. Plenty won’t deal with you like this. That’s ok. Don’t give them your $. Find those that will.
Your leverage is your ability to walk from the deal at any time.
