How to get the Best Deal on a Car : Tip 3

So you've chosen the best-priced vehicle you love and now it's time to go in and actually purchase the vehicle. Sign on the dotted line. The actual buying process should now be fairly easy and simple, as all important negotiations have been done before entering the dealership. Still, there are some things to watch out for and a couple of finer points to execute.

1. Again, verify the VIN on the vehicle and assure you are buying the vehicle you negotiated on.
2. If the numbers are not exactly as they were discussed, walk away.
3. Assure you bring anything the dealer asked you for. Proof of Income, residence, etc.
4. When you got to finance understand that you don't have to buy any products. They can be useful, but they are optional.
5. During the signing process look for any undisclosed charges and fees such as protection packages, transport fees, floor plan fees, etc. Some fees are legal (Doc Fee) but most are attempts by the dealer to make up for the loss on the sale of the vehicle.
6. Lastly, drive away and enjoy your vehicle!

How Do You Get the Best Deal on a Car: Tip 2

So you've done all the possible research, test drove the vehicles and narrowed your choices. What next? Now you start dealing with the salesperson.

This is the most frustrating portion of the process, for both ends of the transaction. The seller and the buyer trap themselves in a cat and mouse game of not wanting to give up any information or even commit to anything. With good reason. Both stand to win or lose hundreds if not thousands of dollars depending on the decision they make. Here are a few simple steps to make this process easy and positive.

1. Make sure when comparing prices across several dealers that you are comparing apples to apples. Again, if a deal seems to too good to be true, it probably is.
2. Ask them to either fax or email actual figures/invoice, etc. Get everything in writing with exact VIN of the vehicle also. Don't fall for the bait and switch.
3. Many times they will ask for your personal information in order to release pricing information. you can give them as much information as you'd like except for your Social Security number. They don't need that to give you pricing information. Even if you want payment information they can estimate that with an educated guess for the interest rate.
4. If the salesperson will not give you the pricing information, hang up and call back, ask for a sales manager. If for some strange reason they still will not give you any information, maybe that isn't the dealer you want to do business with.
5. They may hit you with lines such as "what price are you looking for?" or "what's the best price you've heard so far?" No need to hide anything from them. Make up a price somewhere at or below invoice. That'll get their attention.
6. Once you have all the offers you want, sit back and decide. Remember, price is only one portion. Buy the best-priced car that you love. Not the lowest-priced car you like.
