The secret to buying a new car on the market at the best price
Nowadays, users can easily find information about car models even before they are launched on the market, but not everyone knows when to buy to get the best price.
Below are tips from sales experts to help consumers buy a car at the best price.
Take your time
No matter how much you like it, you should not buy it at the beginning when the market is hot. To get the car in the first batch, customers may be forced to pay a higher price or install accessories with inversely proportional prices and quality. Meanwhile, if you wait 3-5 months, customers can save money.
Experience in bargaining
Normally, the factory gives the dealer 2-3% depending on the car model plus any promotions (including insurance, maintenance...) discount on the listed price. Dealers are also often flexible according to each period. Sometimes, dealers have to cut losses to get sales, meet standards...
Therefore, buyers should consult several dealers to get quotes, promotional information, warranty policies... then choose the best dealer.
If the seller wants to offer a specific amount of money for the car, offer a figure 10 - 20% lower than the model's selling price.
Don't overemphasize options
Additional features on new cars are where dealers make money from customers. Some features like heated seats and heated steering wheels are expensive and rarely used due to hot and humid tropical climate conditions like in Vietnam.
Therefore, do not be drawn into the sweet offers from the sales staff. It is best to choose accessories according to your needs, you can buy the low version and then upgrade the necessary needs later. Do not choose too many, to avoid waste.
Say no to extended warranties
Extended warranties are one of the most profitable packages that dealers sell to customers. However, most vehicles come with a standard manufacturer warranty, with some manufacturers extending the warranty period to 5 years or 150,000 km.
Accordingly, buyers rarely use the extended warranty package. Many dealers lower the price to add the extended warranty package. Therefore, do not be greedy for cheap prices but spend more money on unnecessary services.
Buy on sale
There will be promotional periods in the life of a product. Many car models are even on promotion up to hundreds of millions of dong.
Therefore, if you do not need to change your car urgently, you should choose to buy at a later time to get the best price. That is the time when the dealer needs to run sales (end of the month or end of the quarter); the time when the company's competitors launch new products...
