How to haggle with dealers?

Do you have any tips or tricks when haggling with dealers on a new car? I tried to haggle on a Mitsubishi Outlander LS 7-seater, but they wouldn't budge at all. I'm not sure the best way to go about it.

The timing can be important. The dealers you approached obviously believed they had the upper hand and had no problems in selling the Outlander. In that situation they’ll rarely come down on price, but they might negotiate on your trade-in, or they might throw in something extra as a teaser. You could also wait until it’s in run-out model, when you would have much more power to negotiate.
