How to buy a
Muscle Car
If you
are looking to buy a Muscle Car you should begin
with these tips:
1. You should purchase
your new car at or around Christmas time
because with everybody buying their
Christmas presents, not many of them are
looking to buy a new car, and it forces
dealerships to up their sales strategies.
Salesmen are more willing to
haggle down to your prices to close the
deal.
2. You can also get a good deal from July to
October because that is the time of year
when dealerships are trying to get rid of
their inventory to make way for the new
models.
3. Purchasing a car online is
becoming a great way to get a new car. Just
wait for good rebates and incentives online
and shop around.
Print out your information from the
best quotes and bring it to the dealer that
you are most willing to work with.
Bringing in lower quotes from another
company might be your best bet in getting a
good deal.
4. You should visit
http://www.FightingChance.com if you are
hoping to find new car prices, dealer
incentives, and the best rebate offers.
This site is the first place that you should go
for great advice on buying a car. It’s even
more informative than the Kelley Blue guide.
This program for buying new cars can
literally save you thousands of dollars.
5. A good place to start when going into a
dealership is to bring a copy of your credit
score with you.
It can lower your interest rates
on your car loan. Your car dealer should not
know more about you than you do.
6. You can avoid a common scam that dealerships
pull. You will often hear that your
financing fell through and that you have to
respond by paying more money on your loan.
Don’t believe it. It’s another reason for you to get a
copy of your credit score.
7. Another common scam by dealership salesmen
is for them to tell you that they have found
you a lower rate, but that they want you to
re-sign your loan papers.
Usually, that is a downright lie. Once they pull up
your financing information, they have the
upper hand if you don’t know the details
about your credit information.
You can get a copy of your credit information online
at
http://www.equifax.com for about
$10-$15. It’s better to pay $15 now than
thousands later.
8. Don’t bring in a car for trade in if you
still owe money on it.
The dealership rarely pays the rest of the loan on
time which will result in you having to pay
a great deal of late fees to the bank.
If you do decide to bring a car in that you owe money
on, get it in writing from the dealership
that they will pay the balance on the car
within 10 days.
9. Sometimes a dealership may not have all of
your options and must order the car directly
from the dealership.
If this happens they will often ask you to pay
$500-$1000 for a deposit on the car.
Try not to pay more than $500 and be sure to pay with
a credit card because sometimes the
dealership will tell you that there was a
price increase on the vehicle and will want
more money.
If you pay with a credit card you have room to dispute
the amount being taken from you. If you pay
by check, you can just consider the money
gone.
10. You should never buy a
car when you are in desperate need for one
because a dealer will see that and take
advantage.
You should never wait until an old car is dead before
searching for a new one because you should
give yourself time to shop around for one
and get the best deal possible. Desperation
often clouds your judgment.
