Auto Dealers Compete

Found another article on buying a car. Look at point 4 below. “Negotiate on the deals and also ask if there are freebies and discounts.” are you kidding. We teach people how to get the car of their dreams below invoice with out “Negotiating”!
This guy has no clue…

1) Do research on the net and get information on the latest madels or buy car magazines and learn more about the car.2) Learn more about the safety, reliability and performance of the car.a) Try to research on 2-3 models in that segment and then compare the price, mileage etc and then decide.b) Take a test drive. Feel the car.3) Get atleast 2-3 quotes from dealers (online, visiting the dealer or from phone).4) Negotiate on the deals and also ask if there are freebies and discounts.

Tips to Buy a New Car

5 car buying tips

I agree with all of the following tips, but I would stress the internet. By shopping through the internet you get fleet pricing and not retail. Big, Big difference. Check out the 5 tips and the link to the blog where I found this.

Here are 5 things you can do to get the best deal
possible.

1. Research. The more informed you are about the product the more
likely you will be able to spot a good deal, or when someone’s trying to take
advantage of you.

2. Shop. This goes hand-in-hand with number one. The more informed
you are, the better deal you can get.

3. Pre-qualify. Like shopping for the best deal on the vehicle
itself, you owe yourself the best deal on financing. Independent lenders and
Credit Unions typically strike a better deal. That’s not to say it’s that way
all the time, but knowing what you got in your hand before you start the buying
process is a lot better than getting shanghaied into high payments all in the
name of “no money down.”

4. Walk. That’s right, don’t be afraid to walk off the lot. Give
yourself time to digest what’s just been thrown at you. Check your research.
Eat some dinner. Above all, avoid impulse buying. Most dealerships now don’t
allow for buyers remorse so when you sign on the dotted line, it’s yours.

5. Haggle. As American’s we’ve kind of lost the art. We’re used to walking
in and paying a set price for things, but when it comes to buying a car, don’t
be afraid to say, “no way.” Let the dealer know you saw the same car
elsewhere for a lower price. Be prepared to get a price quoted on a business
card while out shopping, most dealers honor a price on a card as the holy
scripture.

Remember. This is about YOU getting the best deal YOU can.
