Dealerships negotiate cars for a living; most buyers do it every few years — that asymmetry is the whole game. This levels it: research the real target price, negotiate the out-the-door number (not the monthly payment), keep the trade-in and financing as separate battles, and decline the high-margin add-ons — with the confidence that you'll walk if the deal isn't right.
Car Buying Negotiation is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/car-buying-negotiation/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to help me negotiate a car, buy a car without getting ripped off, what should I pay for this car, or dealership negotiation tips. Produces a target-price approach (research the out-the-door price), the dealer tactics to expect and counters, guidance on separating price/trade/financing, the add-ons to decline, and a walk-away plan — flagging to verify current pricing and rates.
The Car Buying Negotiation Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
