As with anything sold in bulk, buying cars in quantity will equal a lower buying price. This service is usually reserved for companies who need to purchase several vehicles, but an individual consumer can benefit as well. Very few people realize that they can purchase a car through the Fleet Department and benefit from fleet pricing.

Granted, dealerships vary in how they deal with their fleet sales. Most of these dealerships will offer this price for individual consumers but you have to ask. Yes, getting a wholesale price for your vehicle of choice may be possible by simply asking.

They do not advertise this little known fact because they do not want to compete with their regular sales department. So, if you want to get a vehicle without the hassle of negotiations and the burden of wondering if you got the right price simply ask. You can ask by first calling the dealership and asking to speak with the Fleet Department.

When you call make sure to ask specifically for the name of the fleet manager and office number. Once you have the name ask to be put through to his/her direct line. If no one answers, call back until you can speak directly to the manager.

Once in touch with the manager you will probably be asked which company you are calling from. In this case, you can give them your employer's company name. You can also ask any questions you may have pertaining to the vehicle you are looking for.

Visit the dealership's Fleet department, and ask for the manager who you spoke with over the phone. Check out the vehicle and make sure it has the features you are looking for. Once you return from the test drive, ask for fleet pricing, sign the deal and your purchase is complete.
