Do you know if you are paying a fair market value for a new or used vehicle?Β
Dealers use sophisticated vehicle price evaluation tools that are not available to the general public. KBB and other online resources can give you a basic ballpark number. However, an ACV (actual cash value) to the dealer might be way higher or lower.
Is the dealership trying to "steal" your trade-in?Β
Dealership desking sales software allows sales managers to manipulate numbers that the buyers see on the sales order versus what the dealer is actually paying you for the trade.
Did you know that the dealer can markup your rate up to 2 points?
When you finance a car through a dealership-arranged loan, the dealer gets 2 rates from the bank to present to you. The first interest rate is a "buy rate," and the second is a "sell rate." The "buy rate" is what the bank is willing to do the deal at, and the "sell rate" is the maximum interest rate the dealer can charge you.
Are you using Carfax and Autocheck data during the negotiation?
A clean vehicle history report is a vital element of getting the top dollar for your trade or paying a premium when buying. Negotiating based on the information in the vehicle history report can make or save you thousands of dollars when selling or buying a used vehicle.
Is negotiating based on monthly payments a good idea?
There is nothing wrong with negotiating based on your monthly payment budget as long as you see complete transaction details. You have to watch out for dealers trying to "stuff the payment" with unnecessary fees or products if the original payment is under your budget.
Do you know how to negotiate out of paying extra fees?
Some dealers love to add extra fees and products to the vehicle sales price and not tell you upfront about them. When you are signing the paperwork, you can negotiate the cost of those products or have them thrown out completely.
We work on a 30-day retainer. Once you hire us, you will have unlimited access to your dedicated support manager, who will provide you with all the assistance you need to handle your transaction. Depending on the service you purchase, we can evaluate up to 5 transactions for you during the month to ensure you find a perfect vehicle for your needs. Schedule a free consultation today!
