Buying A New Car
Buying a new car can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. But only if you've done your homework before going to the dealership. This "homework" can be fun, though, with the internet at your disposal. |
There are a few key things to consider when buying a new car. Especially if you are planning on getting a good deal:
-
The MSRP price, and what it means for getting your best deal.
-
How to spot car buying scams pulled by a dealer. (Most dealers are honest folks like me, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.)
-
The best time of the year (& week) to buy a new car.
-
How to get the best car deals through haggling.
-
Tips to financing a new car.
-
How to figure your opening offer.
What Is The Real Cost Of A New Car?
Dealerships and private sellers rarely mark the car’s actual worth. Instead, they mark the price up so that they can clear a good profit for themselves. There's nothing wrong with this, of course, and is simply normal business practice. After all, selling cars is a business - not a charity!
...But nearly all dealerships can be talked down on their initial prices, if you know how to haggle properly.
And haggling is not hard at all--even for super-shy people--if they're prepared. Preparation is everything. The savvy buyer will come prepared so that he can talk the dealer down on prices at least a little bit.
One of the keys here to being prepared is to be familiar with the dealer’s lingo. Learning their 'language' is relatively painless - a few minutes of research online is all you need.
This website is all you need to get you prepared. And that includes becoming familiar with the 'tricks' beforehand. Showng the dealer that you are prepared is the best way to arrive at the dealership.
...This is how you want to arrive at the dealership: prepared. I don't care if you're the shyest person in the world, if you follow my advice here, you'll actually look forward to your new car buying experience!
Salesmen are there to try and hustle a good price for themselves and their company while you should be trying to negotiate a good price for yourself.
Car salesmen speak their own language, so in order to get your best car deals, you need to know how to speak their language. This guide will teach you how to get through that barrier once and for all, so that you will never again be oversold on a new or used car.
