You want a car, you know what you want, where you go to find the special, car dealerships seem like the right place, but let’s take a look at what we found in this huge minefield.
As in many walks of life, there are many guys who show up at a dealer visit on stage, the very good, the very expensive, the crooked, the cheapest, the here today gone tomorrow and they all want their money , and at this moment in time, time of credit crunch, they are desperate.
So now is a good time to buy a car, yes and no. If you have the money, you can go to car dealerships and get a really good deal, but that depends on you having the money.
Loans are more difficult to find, the same amount of money is not available, nor are the interest rates favorable, car dealers can no longer guarantee that a loan is available, if your credit score has some outstanding questions, then a loan may well not be available.
You have a trade-in vehicle, it’s spotless, you have a full service history, low mileage, you’re also a woman owner and car dealers will be desperate to do business with you. Well, not at the moment, they just went through the worst car sales months since 1966.
Too few buyers for too many cars, new or used, has made car dealers buckle up, they will accept your car in return, but the price they can offer you as part of any deal won’t make you smile in a ridiculously happy way. , they cannot afford to take any risk in reselling their pride and joy about to be traded.
The best deal you can get is to ignore the car dealers by selling your car privately, then if it sells for a price acceptable to you, go as a cash buyer to the dealership and you can close the deal of a lifetime, however Don’t be surprised by money laundering checks!
On another serious note, when dealing with car dealers make sure they are reputable, offer a strong warranty, a still existing manufacturer warranty is good, if you suspect anything walk away, at this point in car buying the The world is your oyster, you really should only buy the best at the lowest price you can get.
I hope you find this somewhat helpful and whenever you drive please wear your seat belt.
