The Most Common Car Buying Mistakes To Avoid
There are many things that you don’t want to see a dealership do to you as a buyer, but there are some things that you should not do as well, if you don’t want to alienate the dealer.
Here is a list of “don’ts” that you should abide by if you are really looking to get a good deal.
1. Don’t try to pull one over on the dealer by lying about the condition of your trade in vehicle. It is just a lie that you can’t get away with, and could cause many cost increases later.
2. Don’t bother looking for a car if you have had a recent bankruptcy because you will not get approved anyway.
3. Don’t give the dealership a deposit and then try to take it back for no reason because you should have researched the car before making the purchase. You can also lose money on the return.
4. Don’t bother lying about your debt load and credit rating because they will check it anyway.
5. Don’t offer any money for a car unless you already know the dealer cost because you are setting yourself up to get ripped off.
