When you are looking to purchase a car, there are countless steps in the process and countless details to consider. It can quickly become quite an overwhelming and discouraging process. I have been a financial advisor for many years, so maybe I am a bit biased in this process, but I have one main bit of advice for anyone looking to purchase a car: check out used car sales, and do it first!
I have heard and received a lot of advice that people should consider new car sales and used car sales equally when they are trying to make a vehicle decision. That is okay advice, but I believe that even better advice would be to look at the possibilities that used car sales offer before you even attempt to purchase a new car.
There are many reasons for this suggestion, but the first is simply to be aware of how much money a new car really is. Life is expensive, and there is never an end to the number of bills that need to be paid or responsibilities that need to be taken care of. Looking at used car sales rather than just for new cars can be a great way to find a great car that is within your budget. Doing this will allow you to really free up funds to go to other important bills and needs in your life.
You would be shocked to learn how many great deals that there really are with used car sales. People often think of used cars as old and rusted, but there are used car sales for cars that have barely been driven. So get any preconceptions about used car sales out of your head and go in to a search with your mind open to whatever you will find. You will be pleasantly surprised by the price and quite often with the selection of used car sales.
If you're looking to purchase a car, take the time to research your different options. See what used car sales are available in your area and plan to make a visit at each of these places before you make a final purchase. It is always a good thing to have a lot of options when you are purchasing a car. Talk with friends you know that have purchased a car through used car sales and see what advice they give you. Be knowledgable so you can make the best possible decision.
Used Car For Sales
Salespeople know by now that people who come in to dealerships are naturally suspicious of salespeople and knowing this they have their own little brand of psychology to deal with and combat it.
One of the favorites is the ?I'm a trustworthy salesman? garbage. Yeah right, and I have some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. If you are a real tough customer and say something like you are going to come back tomorrow, they will say ?That's perfect, I can get you a better deal tomorrow, they are trying to get a higher profit today? like tomorrow is going to be any different?
The next thing is something that anyone who has bought a car has probably seen, getting you set on a particular car and taking you on a demo ride. The walk around is designed to end up with you at the driver's side of the car. He will have you sit in it and turn it on and then say, ?Let's go for a ride!? This works especially well if you have a family, he will enlist their help as well. Kids always want to go for a ride in a new car! While on the demo ride he will be constantly probing you and asking questions, finding out what you like and logging it in his memory.
Confusion is the next trick that is used. For example if it has been determined that you are a payment buyer the slick salesman will just keep quoting the payments to you and not even pay attention to the price of the car. They will do the same thing if you come in with a trade difference figure in mind. They will keep going to the trade allowance and try to convince you the difference doesn't matter. The point is never tell them you only car about the payments, or your trade value, or the difference. You want to be able to keep tabs on all factors of the transaction. Also when trading beware of them trying to devalue your trade in your eyes, they will do this by running their hands over minor blemishes and making comments about it.
