TO HAGGLE OR NOT TO HAGGLE?
When you have 2 or 3 vehicles that fit your criteria it is time to negotiate. There are several ways to do this.
Some
dealers offer "no haggle" sticker prices. While this seems like a stress-free way to go, you'll usually end up paying hundreds
or thousands of dollars too much.
Another way is to use the internet and search without leaving your house. You can
find the exact vehicle you want and sometimes the price without leaving your house. I would suggest doing as much legwork
by phone or computer as possible. This could save hours of time, gas, frustration, etc.
Yet another way, is to check
with your employer, bank, shopping club (BJ's, Sam's, etc.), AARP, or AAA and see if they have pre-arranged pricing. This
is usually a better way to go than the no-haggle pricing mentioned above. Some employers even offer below invoice pricing,
including incentives, and no dealer fees (just tax, tag, and title).
NO HAGGLE AND SAVE!
Still not sure you want to jump in to the lions den? Email us and we'll negotiate a deal for you. All you have to do is show up and sign the paperwork - NO HAGGLING! What will
it cost? We charge $100/sale + %10 of the difference in what the retail price is and the price we negotiate on your behalf.
In other words, if the car you want is MSRP of $20,000 and we can get it for you at $19,000 you would pay GuideToTheCars.com
a $100 (flat fee) + $100 (10% of $1000). If you bought the car and paid retail, it would cost you $20,000. If you
bought it through GuideToTheCars.com you'd pay $19,000 + $200 = $19,200 and save $800 + $60 in taxes
(on the $1000 difference from $20K to $19K) or a total of $860!
Imagine savine nearly $1000 and not having to deal with a salesman, or his boss, or the ownerer of the dealership...
just sign a honest deal, at a great price, with no stress, and in a fraction of the time!
USED VEHICLES
PRIVATE PARTY OR DEALER?
We prefer to deal with private individuals when it comes to used cars for the following reasons:
- Previous owner knows the vehicle's history (during their ownership)
- Potential to obtain paperwork, maintenance receipts, logs, etc. kept by owner
- Less pressure during the sale
- More room to negotiate
Beware of people posing as private sellers that are just resellers. A small percentage of sellers are people that buy cars
at auction or through private sales and resell the vehicle to turn a quick profit without knowing the true history of the
vehicle.
Additionally, we recommend taking a used car to a reliable mechanic and having the car thoroughly checked out before
signing any paperwork.
*PLEASE do NOT buy ANYTHING w/out doing research and reading this site.
