How do you talk a car dealer down on price?

Make a strategically low offer first. Make your first offer so that the highest amount you're willing to pay is at the middle of your offer and the dealer's price. For instance, if the dealer wants to sell the car for $3,500, and you don't want to spend more than $3,000, put your first offer in at $2,500.

Can you negotiate car price over the phone?

Treat price negotiating over the phone the same way you would if you were buying that car in person. Then tell them the price you are willing to pay. If they are unwilling to negotiate, do not be afraid to get off the phone and call someone else who will negotiate the price and sale of a car.
