I just bought a new Jeep (2006 Liberty) so I might be of some assistance as I ended up with $2500 off of the dealer's invoice plus another 1% off of my APR. Research online, go to edmunds.com, cars.com, carsdirect.com, the manufacturers websites, anything and everything with invoice and pricing information. Make sure you know invoice costs, what people in your area are paying and what the MSRP is for exactly what you want.

If you're still trying to figure out what you want Consumer Reports is great and also try googling the makes and models of what you're looking for to find owner/driver reviews. You can try doing comparisons on Edmunds.com to figure out how certain vehicles compare to what you're looking for. If you have a trade in make sure to figure out what the Kelley Blue Book value is before you go to the dealership. Know how low you'll go and you can always find a dealer who will give you that amount.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me as I did this on my own and think I had a pretty good trade-in value ($9200 on a 5 year old car) and a pretty good deal on the price of the Jeep.
