Do not let the car dealer talk you into buying a car that is not within your budget. Many people are smooth-talked into buying sports cars because the salesman says they would look good in it. Know that the person selling you the car is interested in commission, so when they sell a pricy car, they get paid more.
If you can’t afford it, don’t be persuaded by a talented salesman. If you allow it, a salesman will convince you that you need something more expensive or sporty. When you purchase a vehicle that is not within your budget, you can be sure that the dealership and salesperson — not YOU — will benefit.
If you’re buying a car from someone, make sure you get your mechanic to look at it prior to buying it. Think twice about buying a car from someone who refuses to let you do so. There may be extensive problems the owner is trying to hide. You want information before you buy into these.
It will take a lot of time during your day to purchase a car. You don’t want to feel like you’re rushed when trying to get comfortable about a deal. You need to let yourself have several hours to decide. If you are really short on time, do not be afraid to leave and come back another day.
Remember that you have the option to purchase a vehicle from somewhere other than a dealership. You can go to smaller lots or buy from private owners and get some really good deals. Check out the classified ads in your area for great deals on local cars.
