2. I highly recommend visiting FightingChance.com for the best deals currently available on new cars. It is a great resource for excellent advice when buying a car. Visiting this site before you go out to purchase a vehicle can potentially save you thousands.
3. Christmas is a great time to purchase a new vehicle. This is because most people are out buying gifts at this time over year, and aren't ususally in the market for a new car. Dealers compensate for the fall in custom by offering better deals as well as being more open to haggling prices down.
4. You can also get a good deal from July to October because that is the time of year when dealerships are trying to get rid of their inventory to make way for the new models.
5. Avoid being desperate to buy a vehicle. Dealers can smell desperation a mile off and will try to take advantage of the situation. Start searching for a new car before the one you have gives up the ghost. This way you still have transport while your are looking for the best deal possible.
6. Bring your credit score report when going to the dealer to buy a car. It can help you get better rates on car loans.
7. Another reason for taking a copy of you credit report with you is that many dealers will attempt to charge higher fees and rates on your loan, claiming that you score is to high. Having proof will protect you form this.
8. Another common scam by dealership salesmen is for them to tell you that they have found you a lower rate, but that they want you to re-sign your loan papers. Usually, that is a downright lie. Once they pull up your financing information, they have the upper hand if you don't know the details about your credit information. You can get a copy of your credit information online at equifax.com for about $10-$15. It's better to pay $15 now than thousands later.
9. If your current car is still under finance, do not try and trade it in. Dealerships hardly ever give you enough to cover the remaining payments or pay them to the bank on time either. This could mean you incurring late fees from your bank.
10. Sometimes a dealership may not have all of your options and must order the car directly from the dealership. If this happens they will often ask you to pay $500-$1000 for a deposit on the car. Try not to pay more than $500 and be sure to pay with a credit card because sometimes the dealership will tell you that there was a price increase on the vehicle and will want more money. If you pay with a credit card you have room to dispute the amount being taken from you. If you pay by check, you can just consider the money gone.
