Actually he probably overpayed there are to many different ways we make money it literally is impossible to beat the car salesman or (car dealership). First off did he finance the vehicle through the dealership? because if he did he lost money.. Did he pay for any Tax Title and Fees if he did he lost money. Instead of taking special financing or 0% for 60 mnths and opted to take Dealer Rebates he lost money. And no matter what.. the dealerships makes holdback after selling a car which is usually around 500- 1000 Just Understand people its a Business Just like going to the grocery store and buying milk or food you will overpay because of mark up..

Awesome awesome awesome article. Sure shares some tips to get cheaper car prices. Money is different for everyone. To a big corperation, $50 might be a tiny bit but for a normal person $50 can buy a MP3(not an Ipod though), a nice dinner for 2, a Wii video game. If you just explore the options, there's a lot a tiny bit of money can do. Wow. Awesome awesome awesome article.
