Press Release Body: Tips on buying a car: A car dealership will try and get every dollar out of you that you are approved for. Here are a few tips to help you save money and have a little power in negotiating the price of your car.
PREPERATION: The good thing about filling out an application on our site is that you will be approved the same day and know how much you are approved for the same day. You will know what dealership it is you are approved at and what type of cars they have. This will give you the chance to do some research before you walk in their door. You will need to find out the blue book value on vehicles you are interested in, as well as MSRP and a dealer invoice. This will give you a leg up in negotiating with the salesman before you even walk in the door. So be prepared, know how much you are approved for, what vehicles fit in that price range, and what they are really worth
BLUE BOOK VALUE: Use Kelly blue book. Basically the a fair value of the vehicle
MSRP: Acronym for Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. This amount includes the price of the vehicle with any add-ons it has in it.
DEALER INVOICE: This is the amount the dealership will pay for the car from the manufacturer.
NEW vs USED: Everyone loves a new car, the new car smell, new paint, new everything. But the second that you drive off the lot it tremendously drops in value. Almost instantly you owe more than it is worth. And after 4 or 5 years the value has dropped as high as 70% of its original value. By buying used your vehicle does not depreciate as fast. A used car has already had that big hit in value depreciation. By buying a car that is last year\'s model, you can save up to 5000 dollars straight off the lot and it will not take that big initial hit to where you basically owe more than what is worth. It will still depreciate in value, you just miss the big first year hit. By buying used you might be able to upgrade to a better vehicle with the money that you will save. It is very easy to obtain vehicle reports on used cars, so it has become very safe to buy a used car.
Make sure you do your research for yourself and think real hard about buying new instead of used.
