If you are interested Audi is heavily discounting their cars. Brand new Q7 you can negotiate easily for 9-10k off including Costco 1500 rebate. I was able to negotiate a couple of fully loaded Q7 prestige for 10k off and a SQ7 for 15k off. But Finally went with a GLS 450 due to space issues.if you can travel out of state and wait for a month or so they’ll even come down for 23 models. 

do you know if sq5 or sedans are being discounted? q7 is too big for me

I was thinking the same GLS is too big vs GLE.  But now I am happy with my GLS 450 CPO bought it in out of state.

Buy from Private party. Look for 1 owner, low mileage. Get car inspected before buying. I don't trust dealers. Its all luck.

It depends bro, first try to read the market buy going to lot of dealers from different manufacturers. For example if you are looking to buy a high demand vehicle like Grand Highlander, Sienna etc then you cannot negotiate since there is a lot of demand and they are selling even before they hit the lot. But doesn't hurt to ask them for discounts. I spend around a month visiting dealers and reading forums and found that Volvo around (7-10k) Subaru ( around 8k), Audi (10-15k) are giving discounts. Sometimes you get good deals if you go out of state. Eventually it all depends on the type of car and how much homework you do before going to the dealer and your negotiation skills.

CPO, 1-3 yrs old cars tesukovadam better if you look at your pocket book. 
brand new vs CPO debatable, individual preference. 

some brands offer extended warranty on CPOs too similar to new car warranty you can get that and be worry free. sometime CPOs come with cosmetic blemishes too watch out for them as well. 
CPO toh one advantage is that they don't depreciate like the new ones, so someone paid for the depreciation associated with new car off the lot. 

also look for demo cars. 

I go for CPOs for a 1-3 yr old;

used ones if I am spending 7k or even lesser but a mechanic should be on my speed dial,  

also are you willing to trade in old car and how many miles, brand and year ?

most brands won’t certify(cpo) if there are big issues with a car. If the price is right, don’t hesitate

Retired folks daggara best car deals untai 😂😂.

Reminds me of an experience in my initial days in US. I have a super extrovert friend who can repair cars. Every year he would buy a broken car for cheap, repair in summer and sell it for decent profit.

one time we were in his car and he saw a Nissan 3000 GT. It’s a rare piece. He chased it. Then he talked to the owner who is 75 yr old fella guy who is going around with his 75 yr old tella Gf. Enjoying life. He wanted to sell it, fixed price. But eventually he did not but became a good friend.
