It’s easy enough to get sales talked into buying a
used car for more than what it is actually worth. However, you can avoid this—and
get the best possible deal--by following these simple tips.
Never Fall in
Love with a Car
One of the first things you need to remember is to
not to fall in love with a car at first sight. Keep in mind that there are
other used cars that might be better suited to your needs. Treat cars as
commodities rather than people, and simply don’t settle for one specific model.
Do Your
Research
The price you’ll pay for the purchase will
ultimately depend on how much you’re willing to shell out, so before actually
buying a used car, you need to set a budget. You can then check out online
guides like the Kelley Blue Book to see the kind of used cars you could get for
your budget, and limit your choices among those models.
Negotiating One
at a Time
When negotiating with a dealer, it’s advisable to
first settle on the price of the vehicle, then separately discuss trade-in or
financial terms. Do your research before negotiating so you can make a realistic
offer.
