Most people will have the opportunity to enjoy shopping for a car at some point in their life. It can be an exciting process, but the massive cost involved can cause it to be a little intimidating without substantial advance research. Continue reading to get some great tips for making your shopping experience a bit simpler and more successful.
Figure out the financing options before you even look at a car. You can accomplish this with a trip to your bank or nearby credit union. They will offer you lower interest rates if you show up in person, plus you can use their offers to bargain with the dealership, too.
Financing needs to be in place before you arrive on the lot. One of the reasons it takes the dealer so long is that they have to check your credit and find a lender. This will help to expedite the entire process.
Look for safety features when you are purchasing a new car. The car should have ABS or anti-lock brakes. Air bags are also important. Safety is important because you are often in your car.
Before buying a used car from a dealership, ask to have it looked over by a third-party mechanic. If your dealer does not allow you to have a mechanic inspect it, then walk away from the deal. You need a mechanic to give you an objective opinion about the car's condition and check for damages, submersion in water or other problems some dealers try to hide.
Don't buy without test driving. Even if you have previously test driven the same make and model, you need to make sure that this car drives well. There might be a slight difference or mechanical problems that you won't pick up without a test drive.
Every month a salesman usually has a quota to reach. Use this against them by shopping at month end. Salesmen short on sales will want to increase their totals. Doing so gives you an advantage during negotiation.
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.
Before you go shopping for a new or used car, assess your budget. You must know exactly what your maximum is. Determine how much you'll be able to spend on a monthly car payment. It's also a great idea to look around for loans prior to getting a car.
This article should provide you with some perspective on how to buy a car. You will not feel unprepared or unknowledgable during negotiations. Keep this advice in mind and get yourself started on the right path.
