Thinking On Purchasing A New Car?
By Gonzalo Avila
If you are thinking on buying a new auto and you decide to finance it, be aware that the financing obtained by the dealership, even if the dealer contacts financial institutions on your behalf may not be the best deal you can get. If you decide to trade in your old (not the best advice) make sure you discuss the possibility of a trade-in only after you have negotiated the best possible price for your new car, and after you have researched the value of your old car. Before stepping a foot on the dealer’s sales floor, make sure you research about what model and extras you want, and how much you are willing to pay.

Price

Because the price is a factor in the dealer’s calculations regardless of whether you pay cash or finance your car, and also affects your monthly payments, negotiating the price can save you money. Generally, the sticker price should consider freight (also known as destination and delivery). Base Price is the cost of the without extras, but includes standard equipment and factory warranty. Sometimes, dealers offer very low financing rates for specific cars or models, but may not be willing to negotiate on the price of these cars. Remember that a guarantee is included in the price of the while a service contract costs extra.

Dealers

Always take into account this: Dealers may be willing to bargain on their profit margin, often between 10 and 20 percent. Dealers should never know more about your credit than you. However, dealers often want to sell their current inventory quickly, so you can negotiate a good deal if an in-stock meets your needs. Dealers know their game way more than you do. Think about it, they do it every day. You will do it maybe 5-8 times in your whole life. Pay close attention, and better yet, visit cardealerexposed.ecuawebsite.com

Credit

If your dealer requires you to buy credit insurance for financing, it must be included in the cost

of credit, but DON'T DO IT. Before buying a new car, you HAVE TO get your credit report and credit score from Experian, Equifax or True Credit. They rely on dumb buyers who don't know their own credit score and don't research before they buy a car.

Most people know their blood pressure and cholesterol level, but few know their own credit score. Show up at a dealer without knowing your credit report, and you might as well give them your credit card.

I don't use the free government mandated credit report site because they do not give you the credit score. Even if you have previous bankruptcy, tax liens, or bad credit, as long as your credit score is 525 or above, and bankruptcies have been discharged, your chances are good. Write on the copy: the dealer may NOT run a credit check on you.

On 2/11/98 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reiterated that dealers are prohibited from getting your credit report while out on a test drive.
