A Quick Guide to Surviving Car Buying
Summary:
Car dealerships, like any business, aim to generate profit. Some do so with transparency, while others are less straightforward. To ensure you don't overpay, it's crucial to be well-prepared before visiting a dealership.When Buying a Car, Preparation is Key
Car dealers aim to generate profit, just like any other business. Some are upfront, while others might not be. Your best strategy to avoid overpaying is to do thorough research and arrange financing before stepping into a dealership. With internet access widely available, there's no excuse not to educate yourself.
Take Your Time
When visiting a dealership, pace yourself. Dealers are skilled at closing deals quickly, often aiming for high profits. Stay calm, deliberate, and focused.
Familiarize Yourself First
On your first visit, avoid jumping into negotiations. Take the time to understand the people and the environment. Assess your comfort level with your potential salesperson?"it's about your comfort, not theirs.
Avoid Spot Deliveries
Don’t accept a spot delivery, where you're allowed to take the car before financing is secured. This can be disastrous if your trade-in is gone and financing falls through or comes with a high-interest rate. Protect yourself from this scenario.
Know and Stick to Your Budget
Determine your budget before shopping and keep it to yourself. Salespeople don't need to know it. Avoid negotiating based on monthly payments, as it can lead to paying more than necessary.
Trust Your Instincts
If anything feels off, remember that you hold the ultimate veto power. Don’t proceed if you feel rushed, confused, or uncomfortable.
Understand Dealer Profit Points
The selling price isn't the only way dealers make money. Financing, trade-ins, and add-ons like warranties often bring substantial profits. Knowing this can help you negotiate better.
Research and Patience Pay Off
Dealerships are designed to sell you a car and more. Research the car model you're interested in, explore financing options outside the dealership, and know your trade-in’s market value if applicable. Take your time to align these aspects for the best deal.
