Best Mid-size Trucks

What's most important to you in a new car? Do you have a small but growing family you need to accommodate? Look for roomy sedans and/or minivans with stellar safety ratings. Do you have a job in sales and want to project an image? A sports vehicle or coupe might fit the lifestyle. Do you plan on hauling or towing cargo on a regular basis? A truck is probably what you're looking for. Try to match the vehicles you're interested in with the lifestyle you want or have. You won't be as happy if your needs and your car are at crosscurrents.

The invoice price is the price that the dealership paid for the car. This price will probably be one of the most important bargaining tools in your arsenal. Still, it doesn't tell the full story. For one, the invoice price doesn't factor in advertising, promotion, display, and sales costs that dealers pay for the vehicle. And dealers traditionally only mark up new cars 10% more than the invoice price. It's possible that asking for a vehicle at or just above the invoice price will cost the dealership money. So use the invoice price, but don't abuse it.
