Few people actually enjoy having to buy a new car. It is fun to get behind the wheel of a new car, but picking one out can be hard, and finagling a good deal can be time consuming. By following the tips in this article, you can take the misery out of car shopping and turn it into a more enjoyable experience.
Paying sticker price is like flushing money down the toilet. You shouldn't ever have to buy a car at its advertised price. These prices are too large on purpose so that dealers have some negotiation room. Use this to your advantage.
When you are ready to purchase a new vehicle, know your budget prior to visiting the dealer. If you are shopping for a car, never exceed your budget. You will be the one paying the payments, not them.
Go car shopping online before going to the dealership. You should try to save your dealership trip until after you've decided on the type of car you want. Do online research to find out the specifications and rating that are important to you.
Test driving a car is essential. No matter if you have determined that your perfect car is already sitting on a dealer's lot, you still need to test it yourself. You need to feel the wheel under your hands and the road under your tires. Perhaps the car isn't quite as smooth as you thought.
Buy your car at month's end. In many situations, car sales staff need to meet a monthly sales quota. At month's end, the salesperson may still need to meet his quota, and he will be more conducive in giving you a better deal just to make a sale.
Don't discuss trade-ins, incentives or down payments before negotiating a base price. These will be removed from that bottom line price. You will get a better price by negotiating the deal first, and then discussing these "extras".
If the car you own is fairly pricey, do not take that car with you when visiting a car dealership with the intent of making a purchase. No matter how good you are at negotiating, they will reject any lower offers you put forth. If you are going to trade in that nice car, then that is the only reason you would bring it with you.
Request that the dealer allow you to have the car inspected by a mechanic. It should be one that you trust. Don't use a dealer mechanic. Your mechanic should tell you both whether the car runs well and whether it's priced appropriately.
With your knowledge at hand, you're ready to shop. Use everything you've just learned to ensure that you end up with the best possible vehicle. Do not give up when things seem rough, keep trying and you will end up with the car you want.
