Don't Shop For An Auto Utill You Read These Car Buying Tips 

Some Quick Tips for Car Buying

This article explains a few things about buying a used car ( or new ), and if you are shopping, then this is worth reading, because there is always something to learn about auto dealers.

What Kind of Car Buyer Am I?

If you want to save money while you are negotiating you should negotiate from the dealer cost up and not from the MSRP down. You just need to remember that dealer cost is not the same as the factory invoice.

Some dealerships refuse to negotiate over the cost of a car. If the dealership that you go to won't negotiate, go somewhere else. The reason some dealerships refuse to haggle is because they want to add extra fees to the MSRP.

You will need to decide what kind of buyer you are in order to get a negotiating stance.

Don't Buy "Monthly Payments" When Car Shopping

You do not want to set yourself up as a monthly payment buyer. That is a guaranteed way for you to get a higher payment fee. Tell them you are buying a car and you will decide if you can afford the costs after you choose the car and negotiate the right price.

Better yet, tell them you are looking for a cash deal. You can always change your tactics after you have the right deal set. You can get off-site financing for your price and get the best deal all around.

Financing Through the Car Dealer

Some dealers will offer you to give you a better deal if you finance your car through them. We can guarantee that this will not be the case.

Monthly payment buyers are considered suckers in the eyes of the salesman. If you can afford so much per month, he can sell you anything and add any extras as long as he stays within your payment price. Suddenly your two and a half year deal becomes a four year deal.

Never Buy a Car on Impulse

One of worst things that you can be is an impulse auto buyer.

An impulse buyer is just another word for "victim".

Impulse buyers can often get sucked into the "hot" car of the moment and usually get taken for as much as $10,000. A dealer can see this buyer coming from a mile away.

If a dealer approaches you about the ?hot? car tell him that you are not interested because it will not be worth the money next year as the new ?hot? car will be out by then.

About Buying Autos in Demand

You don't want to buy a car that is in demand because it is the easiest way for a dealership to mark up the prices. The MSRP always looks low, but it is the extras and monthly payments that will lose you money.

Automobile Resale Value

Remember the resale value of the car doesn't change no matter how much money you originally paid for the car. It still depreciates in value from the factory invoice.
