If you are interested in buying a new or used car from a dealership you must be very careful as dealership may use dirty tactics and strategies in luring you to purchase a vehicle at a price higher than market value.
Before buying a car one should well informed of the prices and specifications of the car one is willing to purchase before heading to a dealership. If you are a first time buyer interested in a particular vehicle consider the following information, when you are dealing with a sales person from a dealership ask him as to who the previous owner of the vehicle was, this can help you determine how hard the vehicle had been driven in the past, it would be more advisable to purchase a car that belonged to a senior citizen rather than that formerly used by a rental agency. Always ask for the insurance report which can show you whether or not an accident had ever been reported on that vehicle.
The main dirty tactic of car dealerships is the addition of hidden charges to the price of the vehicle. These hidden charges could mean a difference of a few hundred dollars, but this sum may be a lot of money for most consumers. In order for you to avoid such charges, you should read the car invoice or contract very carefully before signing it. Unnecessary add-ons like extra cleaning rust proofing, fabric protection, paint sealant, alarm systems appear in the invoice unknown to the potential buyer.
Dealerships also charge hundreds of dollars for VIN (vehicle information number) etching, whereas if you purchase the VIN etching kit yourself, it will cost close to twenty dollars. VIN etching kits provide a specific and individualized number on a car, this makes it easier to locate and identify the vehicle if ever stolen.
Dealership that lists cars for less money usually tries to make up for it with different types of fees. Make sure you scout for any unnecessary additional charges in your invoice this can help you save hundreds of dollars on your purchase.
