How To Choose And Buy A Car
When you set out to buy a car, the first thing you want to do is research. Determine what kind of
car you want, starting from whether you want a car, a minivan, or an SUV.
Do you want a hybrid
or electric car? A hybrid car has an electric motor as well as a gas motor, which definitely makes
them more fuel efficient than a regular gas car. An electric car runs off a fuel cell- there are
many new buses that run off fuel cells.
In choosing a car, you want to think about reliability, prestige, cargo space, and perhaps color. It
really depends on what is important to you and what you need.
When you go to the dealership keep in mind the kind of car you want. A dealer might try to steer
you towards a more expensive version of the car, or even a different car altogether if you are
not specific about what you want.
Dealers do not always have your best interests in mind, but
they do want you to be happy, so if you stay firm, you will get what you want.
You may want to consider whether you want to lease or buy a car, a decision which really
depends on how often you buy a new car.
A used car may also be the best choice for you,
especially considering how quickly cars depreciate. A car that has been leased for 6 months can
be worth considerably less than the same model year car that has been sitting on the lot.
A two
year old car can be much less expensive, while still being under warranty, as well as having
many of the kinks worked out and any recalls having been done.
When Should You Buy A Car?
You should buy a car before you desperately need one. This gives you time to research
different makes and models, as well as allowing you to wait for incentive periods at the
dealership.
The internet may be an excellent resource for research.
If you are buying a new car, or a car from a dealership, it can be good to go car shopping
around when the new models are coming into the dealership.
The next year’s models often
come into the dealership any time between August and November, and dealers will be trying to
clear this year’s models.
On a regular basis, it can be best to head to the dealership on a day when you have a lot of
time. The negotiations can take a lot of time, and you don’t want to feel rushed.
A day in the
middle of the week will be quieter at the dealership, and a salesperson may feel more pressure
to get your sale, because they have fewer customers available.
You may also want to head out to the dealership towards the end of the month. Dealers keep
track of their monthly sales, and often have monthly goals and targets.
A salesperson may be
willing to make less of a profit on a car in order to meet a certain target of sales.
You do not necessarily have to buy a car during a sale in order to get the sale price. If you go
after the sale, you can still ask for the sale price.
How To Buy Or Sell A Used Car
You may already have a car that you would like to trade-in in order to lower the price of the car.
A car trade-in can confuse negotiations, however, as it adds another element to what may
already be very confusing car negotiations.
You might also be able to get a better price if you
sell the car in a separate deal to a private purchaser or to the dealership you bought the car
from.
A good way to make sure you will get full value from your trade in or sale is to present a very
clean car to the potential purchaser.
If you are buying a used car, it is important to do a complete visual inspection to ensure that you
are not looking at and wasting your time on a car that is a complete lemon. Just kicking the tires
is not enough.
Look for signs of odometer tampering, or for signs the car has been in an accident and had
bodywork done.
Check for rust under the wheel well, and anywhere else on the car. Make sure the tires are still
in good condition, and will last until you can afford to replace them, at least.
Sit in the car, and
check for wear and tear on the upholstery, as well as for signs that someone smoked in the car.
Buy A Car: The Test Drive
Before you buy a car, you want to make sure you will be comfortable driving the car. Do not let
yourself be distracted by the salesperson, who may have come along for the ride in the back
seat.
Make sure the car will actually be comfortable year round – check the air conditioning and
the heating systems. Don’t assume that something that is right now a minor problem won’t
become a huge annoyance once you are driving this car on a daily basis.
You want to test the braking system by braking in several conditions, as well as testing the
turning radius of the car. Make sure the car drives smoothly and you can easily see around the
car – huge blind spots can make driving much less comfortable in the long run.
Try parking the
car, to make sure you will be able to do so easily and smoothly in your own parking spot at work
or at home.
You might not test drive the car in traffic, but try to see how the car would be in traffic. Does it
start and stop easily? Can you make both left and right turns tightly?
Being sure that the car will be comfortable for you all year round is an important consideration in
a car. You are spending far too much money to settle for something which “you’ll get used toâ€,
and you don’t want to end up regretting your purchase and wishing you’d bought something
else.
