Avoid
These 3 Car Buying
Mistakes
Car
buying should be a fun experience
and
by avoiding these mistakes it can
be.
1) If
you don't want to deal with a
salesperson do your "just
looking"
when the car dealership is
closed.
This tip is for those
customers that do not want to a
car salesman following them
around asking a bunch of
questions and trying to convince
you to "take it for a spin." If
you go to a car dealership during
normal business hours, guess
what? You are going to deal with
salespeople. "I'm just looking,"
is what 80% of customers say to
salespeople and that will
immediately lead to questions
like: "what are you looking for?
Car? Truck? SUV?" and on and on
and on.
If a salesperson were to
simply walk away when they were
told "I'm just looking," they
would not only not sell many
vehicles, but would probably get
yelled at (it's a tough business)
and possibly fired! If you are
literally just looking, then do
it after hours or else you'll
find yourself bombarded with
salesmen.
2)
Never buy a vehicle the first day
you see it.
Following this tip will help
to alleviate that buyers remorse
many customers have experienced.
Remember, once you've signed the
contract, you own it! Some states
mandate a return period, but
there are usually fees involved
to return the vehicle.
If the car dealership allows
you to take the vehicle for the
night, before contracting, do it.
Work the numbers to your
satisfaction and borrow the
vehicle for the night. This will
allow you to review the numbers
you worked with the dealership in
a comfortable, pressure free
environment and gives you a
chance to wake up to the vehicle
in your driveway and see if it is
still as appealing to you.
3) Do
not negotiate
payments.
Never negotiate payments!
Always negotiate sales price! If
you negotiate payments, there are
a lot of things that can be going
on behind the scenes that may
make it look like you are getting
a smokin' deal, but in reality
your still paying full sticker
price. Not to mention they may
have packed your payments with
other products you may not
want.
Get the sales price right and
then I'd advise reviewing a full
disclosure prior to going into
the finance office. This includes
sales price, term, finance rate,
any add ons or warranties, TT
& L, monthly payment and any
dealer fees.
