What is the best way to go about bargaining for a car? I may be looking in the next few weeks for something.

New or used?

Buy or lease? If buying, are you paying all cash or financing?

BMW or what car make?

Well, definitely do not even talk with a dealer until you have done your research on the fair selling price by going on kbb.com and edmunds.com.

You will probably also want to compare BMWFS financing terms vs those offered by your bank.

Check out the financing deals from BMW FS - they usually have very good interest rates.
