First point is what is your budget. Now this is more important point that how much you can pay for the car. Tell your final budget to the seller or dealer if he is not agree with that you must have to walk away, if there is little difference in your budget and demanded price then may be you will get call from the dealer agreeing to your terms.

Total cost of car including all accessory and insurance
My advice for average peoples that you choose a car that is minimum ten percent less than your monthly budget to give yourself some room to cover costs, like car insurance, fuel cost, repair and maintenance cost.

If you will show that you are serious in buying then dealer will work harder to get the deal. But , don't come across as desperate to buy as this could reduce your chances of picking up a bargain.

Negotiate
Once you have find that car that you want in your budget range then now it's time to start negotiating the best deal possible.

Best time to buy
In the days of Christmas and other occasions,  dealers wants to haggle down to your price as not many auto get sold at that time with many buying gifts to buy for your friends and relatives. July and October is also right time to get best deal.
