“Walked into the F&I office, said the line on page 7, and saved $2,400 in 90 seconds.”

— K. Patel · New RAV4

Fit Check

Made for first-time and second-time new-car shoppers. Not for the pros.

For you if…
  • You're walking into a dealer in the next 30 days.
  • You hate the F&I office and freeze when they pitch GAP, paint, and "only $19/mo more."
  • You'd rather email 6 dealers than haggle in person.
  • You want to know what holdback is — and why it's your leverage.
  • You have a trade-in you don't want to give away.
Not for you if…
  • You've negotiated 10+ new-car deals and have your own spreadsheet.
  • You're chasing exotic, hard-allocation cars (Type-R, GR Corolla, Z06).
  • You're financing through a dealer-only captive at 0% no matter what.
  • You want to negotiate used cars — grab the Inspection Checklist instead.

What's Inside
