Never Do These Things...
There are many things that you don’t want to see a dealership do to you as a buyer. By the same token, there are certain things
that you should not do as well; because if you do them, you'll alienate the dealer and he'll pull out
his most sneakiest of tricks on you. Why make it harder on yourself? Just tell the truth but don't reveal the contents of your
"buyer's folder" that we'll cover shortly.
Here is a list of “don’ts” that you should abide by if you really want to get a
good deal.
-
Don’t try to pull one over on the dealer by lying about the condition of the
vehicle you plan on trading in. You can't get away with this fib and it could cause many cost
increases later... (read: "royal screwing").
-
Don’t even bother looking for a car if you have had a recent bankruptcy because
you won't get approved anyway. (Actually, this isn't always true. You may get approved for 15%-22%, it
happens!)
-
Don’t give the dealership a deposit and then try to take it back for no
reason. You should research the car before making the purchase. Otherwise you can also lose money on the return; they
have your money!
-
Don’t bother lying about your debt load and credit rating because they will check it
anyway and disappoint you, while causing unneeded embarrassment.
-
Don’t offer any money for a car unless you already know the dealer
cost! Otherwise you're setting yourself up to get ripped off big time. But we'll cover that in detail
shortly---it's easy, you'll see.
Reminder: Make sure you print out certain parts of this report and use it like a
checklist. But read it through first.
