You don’t really need to be
ultimate car geek to figure out
ins and outs of savings when buying a new car. You just need some car buying tips, a calculator, a notepad and pen and mental savvy to play
cost game with a couple of car dealers.To set you on
road to
car that you’ve always wanted without
burden of high costs, here are some car buying tips guaranteed to lighten your path.
Car buying tip #1: Do your price homework.
In order to get
best deal, you have to first determine what
fair price is for
car that you want and what
car costs in various car dealers. Researching for
fair price can be a bit tricky as all dealers would have different prices. One way to do this is to log on to websites such as Cars.com, InvoiceDealers.com, CarsDirect.com, AutoWeb, Edmunds.com, Car.com and AutoUSA and see what their prices are. After comparing, you will have a fairly good idea how it costs.
Car buying tip #2: Price is not everything
While price is
motor that would keep your car buying running, it is not
only thing that you should consider. Most car dealers would have a promo of some sort whether it be a free service, free parts or lower interest rates in financing. Look at this also along with
price. One may have lower prices but may not offer
same package.
Car buying tip #3: Compare and tell
Having done your price homework, you can now use
data to haggle with car dealers. Tell each of them that you are looking at
prices of several dealers. Quote some prices to make them believe you. Knowing this, they will give you their lowest possible price and may even offer some good deals just to prevent you from buying your car at their competitor.
