Buying used can be good....

The last car we bought was used. They wanted a premium for it, but I had done my homework and knew there was a similar one a few miles away. When we started getting pushback on our offer, I stood up, thanked her for her time and turned to DH saying "Let's go get the other one at XYZ dealership. I turned to the salesperson and said we had hoped we could give them the business as they had taken the time to show us the vehicles, but we won't overpay.

We got the deal we wanted. It was a fair one. It helps not to be terribly insistent on exactly what you want. Flexibility rules here.
