Getting a Nice Bargain for a Car

Just for options, I’m finding out how I can buy a good car that’s cheap. I still love my car, but hey, if I see a great buy, then why not? Maybe it’ll even be cheaper to get a new one than maintain my current car. With these tough times, people are holding on to their dear cash and are really just opting for good buys – luxury, well, is really living up to its name now and everyone just wants to be practical. Getting a great deal in cars is not as easy as getting detergent in Target or Wal-Mart. There are strategies and techniques that you have to do in buying a car.

• Local dealers – Local dealers do have great deals up their sleeves and if you smooth talk your way, you can make them give it to you. Usually just right up in that corner or somewhere in that row of cars is a good deal waiting to be closed. Check the year, mileage, and previous owner and you may find the car of your dreams without the nightmarish price tag.

• Online dealers – Dealers now have found a way to connect with potential buyers in the online world. Photos, detailed description and contact details are available if you are interested in one of the cars being sold.

• Personal online sellers – Owners are most likely to use online classifieds to post ads about the car they’re selling. Without the additional cost and interest from a middleman, you may get a better chance dealing with the car owner directly instead of through an agent.

Sales agents talk savvy to lure you into getting them good commission. But how do you talk savvy too so both you and him would be happy in the end, and not just him?

• Choose the make and model of car that you like. A wandering eye and undecided mind would be of no help in bargaining a good deal into a great deal. Remember that the key here is to stay focused.

• Ask quotes from different sources. Ask local dealers, online dealers and personal online sellers for their selling price. While almost immediately you may see the different prices, check the condition of the car (be specific about your inquiries if you are just communicating initially online), and go for a test drive before leaning towards a certain dealer.

• Paying in cash is best but if you will offer terms, offer one that will make him happy enough to say yes to your price.

So I know it’s still going to be red, I’m just still not sure of the make (Toyota is out of the question now). I’ll get one probably in the next few months, giving me enough time to make up my mind on the car make and enough time to save up.

So for now, if you’re thinking of getting a good car that’s cheap, look them up and maybe you can snag a great buy. And maybe if you’re undecided yet, in a few months maybe you can give me that lead – thanks!
