Rule #1
Always Negotiate Remote

Negotiate OTD price via email and phone. Never sit at the desk waiting for hours.

Rule #2
Demand Itemized OTD

A handwritten quote is not a commitment. Demand the signed purchase order.

Rule #3
Bring Outside Financing

Never accept dealer financing without credit union approval in your back pocket.

Essential Lessons & Tactics

The 4-square sheet is engineered by desk managers to confuse buyers by mixing trade-in allowance, down payment, vehicle price, and monthly payments into four quadrants.

Tactical Action Steps:
  • Refuse to discuss monthly payment in the initial negotiation phase.
  • Cross out the other three boxes and demand an itemized Out-The-Door (OTD) selling price only.
  • Never sign a four-square commitment line stating 'If I can get you this payment, will you buy today?'
