Car-Buying-Tips

Many dealers want customers to focus on one thing: payments.  As long as their customers are working with the payments instead of the price, the dealership is not reducing any of their profit to make the deal happen.

Below is an article that covers this car buying tip.  Instead of reposting the whole thing here, I have included a way to get to the original.

It is important to try to determine as soon as possible which kind of dealer you are dealing with and redirect them to your way of thinking before they redirect you.  Many dealers are still clinging to the old days when they could do that.

Some car dealers, like Atlantic City Chevrolet Dealers and Hollywood Honda Dealers, do not use these types of tactics.

Whenever we start searching for used vehicles, we often try to decide whether we want to buy from an individual, a dealership, or either, depending on what we find.

In this article, the distinction between the two is made and advice is offered that looks into an individual's circumstances and motivations for wanting to buy a used car.  It isn't always one or the other.  Sometimes, your position is what determines the best way to go.

One of the things that everyone needs to remember when buying a new car is that we have the power.  We are the buyers.  They need us more than we need them.

People are attracted to different car dealers for different reasons.  Sales they hear about on the radio or television, through search engines on the internet, advertisements in the newspaper, or through word of mouth -- plus a dozen other ways for them to find a dealer make it impossible for dealers to focus on one.  As a result, most focus on as many as they can.

The problem for the consumer is that sometimes the ones they hear about the most are the ones with the highest advertising budgets.  Not all dealers with high budgets are bad, but it makes you think, "If they can spend $200,000 a month on advertising, how much money are they making on their cars?"

The best place to research a car dealer is on the Internet.  It requires very little effort and almost no personal contact with a salesperson until you've found the dealer with which you would like to deal.  In the past, it has been recommended to visit a ton of dealers on the internet, ask for quotes, and go with the cheapest.  It just doesn't work out like that anymore.

When buying new cars, just about every dealer will sell their cars for the same price that someone else will.  They are all, for the most part, paying the same as the next dealer, and with the Internet and sites like Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds giving prices and sites like this one and other Car Buying Tips sites offering these kinds of tips, most dealers are willing to bottom out on their new car prices, happy to get a trade-in that they can make money on and hoping to make money on the back end.

For used cars, they are all completely different, so it comes down to who has the vehicle that you want to buy.

When it comes to buying cars, it's best to test the dealer before you go.  Send emails, find out how they are treating you when you are just an online lead, and make your choice from that.
