Buying New Car
|
 |
Check out different vehicles. Several Internet
sites can help you compare features and prices on new motor
vehicles. A scorecard reports on the features of each site including
whether quotes are free, the availability of financing, and
site security. Four key resources that offer information in
print and online concerning vehicle performance, service and
safety are: Consumer Reports, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and
Edmunds. |
|
Research the dealer’s price for the car and options.
It’s easier to get the best price when you know what the
dealer paid for a vehicle. The dealer invoice price is available
at a number of websites and in printed pricing guides. Consumer
Reports provides the wholesale price. Lower than the invoice
price, this figure factors in dealer incentives from a manufacturer
and is a more accurate estimate of what a dealer is paying for
a vehicle. |
|
Find out if the manufacturer is offering rebates that will
lower the cost. Two websites that offer this information are
Carsdirect.com and Autopedia.com. |
|
Get price quotes from several dealers. Find out if the amounts
quoted are the prices before or after rebates are deducted. |
|
Avoid high-profit, low-value extras such as credit insurance,
auto club memberships, extended warranties, rust proofing and
upholstery finishes. You do not have to purchase credit insurance
in order to get a loan. |
