Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now
May 19, 2011
                
               It's become harder to negotiate a great car deal lately due to higher demand coupled with low supply. 
It took an average of 48 days to sell a new car last month - the industry norm is usually around 60 days.
The 2012 BMW X5 sped off the sales floor in an average of only 4 days, taking the top spot for the worst car to negotiate right now.
The list of hardest cars to negotiate include luxury vehicles, gas-friendly cars and a few models that had significant makeovers.
If you're interested in one of these vehicles, it's best to wait a few months for supply to catch up with demand - it could save you thousands of dollars.
