Should I go to the car dealership by myself?

I would think that going to a car dealership by yourself is really a reflection of your own confidence or comfort in the negotiation process. If you bring somebody else with you to a car dealership, it gives you an ability to ask the salesperson to step away so you can have a private conversation. It really is a personal thing. It's not a necessity to take a companion when first visiting a car dealership. However, if you're the type of person that's concerned about the negotiation process, then it might be a good idea to bring somebody along with you.
