Car purchase
Car buying is very complicated, and for many people it's unpleasant, and for good reason. New cars are pure purchase and assured depreciation, except in the rarest of circumstances. The secret is understanding where the dealer's profit comes from and knowing when it's time to forget about all that and shop as an individual would for a good deal on any product. Though the process may look to be difficult, however buying a new car is jot a war between buyer and seller ; instead, it is more like a game. The sooner consumers recognize this, the better off they will be. And if an individual is planning to win this game, one has to prepare. As one begins preparations to buy a new car, realize that getting the best possible deal requires a good amount of research and plenty of time. One may need to do a cost-benefit analysis that weighs the time and effort versus the difference between the invoice price and suggested retail. Without investing any time in research or haggle effort, expect to pay the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the vehicle and possibly more for financing and add-on items.
Best Time
There are two "best times" to buy a car. The end of December is a good time for car buyers to buy a new car. Everyone is out buying XMAS gifts, leaving new car dealer voided of customers, motivating dealers to cut prices, and break year end sales records. Another good time to buy a car is July to October as new car dealers sell off cars at low prices to clear space for new car models.
Look for the Car of Choice
If the dealer does not have the individual's car, they sure can order it from the factory. The car should not cost more than the cars on the lot, but some dealers do play around with the idea. It does not cost dealers more, it's ordered as part of the weekly buying. Because new car factory orders don\'t sit on a lot waiting to sell, they cost dealers $0 on interest. At any cost do not settle for what the dealer has to offer. The most important is the fact that the individual should not be paying with the check instead one should use a credit card. It is because when the car comes in the dealers usually pull the price up $1000 telling there was "a price increase", it's easy to dispute it off the credit card. However if an individual paid by check, it's already cashed and one is stuck. There should be no fees, it's just a normal car deal. Lead time is 8 weeks to 6 months. One should discourage the idea of Dealer A getting the new car from Dealer B. The best option at this point would be to just find out who Dealer B is and go buy a car from them. And it is always recommended for an individual to ask and probe for the new car rebates and incentives.
