Here is an easy way to get a lot of competing quotes for the car, truck, SUV or 2000 chevy malibu you wish to purchase. Email all of the dealerships within, say, 150 miles. Tell them you want to purchase a vehicle immediately and describe the vehicle you desire. Within a day or so you will most likely get back quotations from most or all of the dealerships you wrote. They are all used to making deals with prospective clients via email. It's the new way of doing business. Often times you will have a dealership in your neighborhood from which you would prefer to make the purchase. If so, with the best Internet offer from another dealership, go in and negotiate hard. Then you can decide if you are willing to pay any premium, and how much, over the lowest Internet offer to buy locally. If, after talking with your local dealer, you decide to drive to the dealer for the 2000 chevy malibu, or car, SUV or truck, talk with the sales person on the telephone and confirm all details.

While a new purchase has one set of issues, the purchase of a used car or 2000 chevy malibu set up a different array of issues and considerations. As a general statement, the purchase of a used 2000 chevy malibu, truck, car or SUV will happen one of four ways: (1) the used car lot of an established new car dealership; (2) through a private party which is advertising the sale of the vehicle; (3) a used car lot disassociated with any new car dealership; (4) the national rental companies selling their cars. If you are going to purchase the vehicle from a stand-along used car lot, check out their reputation for honesty and fair dealings through the Better Business Bureau. New car dealerships with a resale could be a more conservative place to make the purchase of the 2000 chevy malibu, truck, SUV or car as often the cars come in as part of the new sale and these dealerships often offer a warranty as to the condition of the vehicle. Again reputation is an important matter, as well. Buying from a private party has both the most potential advantage and potentially the greatest downside. The advantage - no mark-up for a retailer. The disadvantage - someone could be unloading their 'lemon'. So, always, have the vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic before buying it. We like buying a vehicle from the sales lot of a national rent-a-car agency whether it is a car, truck, SUV or 2000 chevy malibu. They are well maintained and generally not more than a year or two old. You don't necessarily get any 'steals' but the car should be in great mechanical shape.
