1. GET A NEW CAR QUOTE
Make sure you have a car quote BEFORE entering a dealership to seriously buy a car. There are a few reasons to do so - First off, you will have made contact with a dealership regarding a car request. You will not be an average "Joe Shmoe" from the streets. The dealership will treat you as a serious buyer and as far as the negotiating power, you will know the price ahead of time to shop around to other dealerships as well. Plus, our True Internet Price (TIP) process helps you create a no-haggle process. Begin your Free Car Quote Process Now . |
2. HAVE AUTO FINANCING OPTIONS LINED UP BEFORE YOU VISIT A DEALERSHIP
Here's the deal - Car dealers make a ton of profit of the finance of a automobile. You can lower your monthly payments dramatically if you know what rate you have been quoted before you visit a dealership. Then, when its time to go to the business manager to actually do the financing, you show them your financing that is ready to go, or, often times, the dealership will try to beat the quote to get your financing business. Get an auto finance quote. Remember, you CAN'T negotiate unless you get your quotes before you visit a dealership. You will be able to get a finance quote at the same time you get a new car quote on this website for your convenience. If you choose not to get financing though us, or if you are looking for multiple quotes, some suggestions we have for finance companies include HSBC Auto Finance |
3. KNOW YOUR CREDIT SCORE
One negotiation tool you can use during the financing part of your new car purchase is knowing your credit score. By doing so, you can determine the car you can afford, in addition to negotiate your terms from the finance company. Visit our Credit Score section in our Finance Section |
4. IF YOU BUY INSTEAD OF LEASE, AND PLAN ON HAVING THE VEHICLE PAST THE MANUFACTURER’S STANDARD WARRANTY, GET A QUOTE ON AN EXTENDED WARRANTY
Once again, dealers make a ton off of extended warranties. Why not cut out the dealer and go directly to the source that they go to anyways? We have found that 3rd party warranty companies can save you up to 60% of what a dealer will offer you. Visit our Auto Warranty Section for more information |
5. ARE YOU GETTING THE BEST RATE ON YOUR INSURANCE?
No matter who you currently have as an insurance provider, it couldn't possible hurt to get quoted to see if you can save even more. Insurance is a costly expense for all of us, but necessary. So why not pay the least amount of money possible? If you have the lowest insurance premium on the market, stay with them. However, how will you know unless you shop around.Visit our Auto Insurance section for more info |
