New Car Buying Employee/Friends/Family Discount

One of my friends recently bought a new car and  shopped  around via her phone  having used her  buddy’s car buying service (ps.  her buddy being me.)  . She told the dealers that her best buddy is in the car business and that she was looking to only buy her car if she can get the car below invoice price. After two car dealers rejected her proposal, the third one who had 3 cars that she liked agreed to her proposal. Of course she did go around to multiple dealerships test driving various vehicles, and had determined exactly what she wanted before doing her telephone shopping. What surprised me was the ease of her getting the friends and family discount once she made it clear that she knew how the car dealer insider deals are all about, and that she qualifies. Kuddos to you buddy. (I have been asked to keep her name anonymous. )

Moral of the story: If you have a friend or family member in the car business, definitely have them shop a car for you, or at lease use their leverage of being an auto dealer industry  insider to get you an awesome deal.
