As someone else mentioned, find a dealership that has a solid reputation (read the reviews or friend referral). DO your research prior to visiting though, know what you want, and the specs/features. Tell them the price you want to pay as a whole and stick to that, if your offer is reasonable and they don't take it, go somewhere else, walk away!
If you are not paying cash up front and need to finance with a loan, then my personal opinion is don't go down the path of "what monthly payment" do you want question. If you tell them a specific monthly payment you want instead of a total price you'll be amazed how easily they can add a few thousands dollars to the total price and your monthly payment won't go up much but the dealership will make extra money in the deal, try to stick to a total price and not monthly payment price.

First rule in buying a vehicle is: Cash Is King. Second know what you are looking to buy before going to the lot and do your research on both the vehicle of choice as well as the selling party.
Richard Rawlings did a great video a few weeks back about buying a new vehicle for first timers.
