Amazingly, no matter what car the customer wants, it is always âhot propertyâ, âvery sought afterâ and/or âhard to findâ. Moreover, it isnât a secret; we have all known it for years. Nevertheless, some of us still continue to be tricked into buying a motor vehicle we really donât want to buy, and at a higher price than we expected. So letâs find out what some of the most favourite and sneaky tactics they get up to and put them in our diary so that we can refer to them when next buying a new car.
Almost every new car dealership will drop the initial price they have listed on a car for sale. However, what you must be wary of are the scams, pressure tactics, twists, and turns that motorcar salespeople have up their sleeves. It is in the showroom, when you are ready to finalise the deal, where you shall be worn down by these machinations, if you donât have your wits about you. This is when a great online site like OzFreeOnline.com comes in really handy. You can register, log in, search thousands of cars and refine your search by using the vehicle âkeyword searchâ.
Car dealers will never give you a direct or exact quote because if they do, they know you will go to another dealer and have them better the price. And to check on prices and search for motor vehicles online is a great way to save a lot of footwork. I recently found two sites, which had thousands of Australian cars for sale. At carsguide.com.au, you will find new and used cars for sale as well as dealer specials.
If you do leave the dealership and tell the dealer you will âlook around for other pricesâ, the dealer will most likely ask you to come back once the âbest priceâ has been obtained. Donât be fooled by this because the dealer will then either match the price, or try to increase it slightly by taking advantage of the fact that you have had enough of shopping and are now really eager to buy the car. Smart and very familiar, this trick works very well for most dealers. It relies mainly on getting you, the customer to feel obliged to buy, because you have put the dealer to âso much troubleâ.
