Tips for dealing with car dealerships please.

for used cars the best place to buy is from leasing/rental company lots..most cars have low mileage, and are very well maintained....just walk in with your financing in hand...and walk out with a great car at a great price...

^ great maintenance usually but what about the poem "The Rental Car" aka "The Company Car"?
Goes 40 in reverse, hops curbs etc.

Something I am looking at is buying out the remainder of a lease.
Not the cars total value price outright, just the remainder of the lease.

If original leaser put fat down payment and has lots of miles left before turn in date, viola.
Low monthly payments plus oodles of miles to use.

I've found several national sites, but the reviews on them were so so and one (LeaseTrader.com) was ranked bad.
If anyone knows of a solid one, holla.
