When you are buying your next car, you should make sure that you are getting the best value. It seems like salespeople are just nagging you so you'll spend far too much on a vehicle. However, it can be done, and you just have to learn what to do.
You will be wasting your money if you refrain from negotiating the price of the car. In fact, you should never purchase a car for the listed price. Sticker prices are intentionally high as a way to facilitate negotiation.
You should not buy a used car without having a good third-party mechanic look at it first. If they say no, leave. A mechanic will be able to give you an impartial opinion and alert you to any warning signs such as evidence of a wreck or being flooded.
The asking price of a car is always just a starting point, and you should never pay that amount. The list price is certainly not set in stone. If you feel that your negotiating skills aren't up to par, take along a friend or family member that has a special talent for it. Know the amount you can reasonably spend, as well as the fair market value, prior to heading to the dealership.
Always do a test drive of the car you want before buying it. It's important that you find out if the car drives properly, even if you've driven this exact model before. You might find that there are some small things that are not the same or that there is something wrong.
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".
Try planning car shopping trips near the end of a month. Most salespeople have some monthly quotas to meet and they might try generating more sales during the last week of the month to meet their quotas. When the month is coming to an end, the person that's selling cars may not have met their quota quite yet. This means they may be willing to give you a better deal in the end.
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.
Looking for and purchasing a car and be a nerve-racking process. You must educate yourself on the process if you want to be happy with your purchase. Refer to the information you've just learned to help you make that next great car purchase.
