Are you the type of person who is always on the lookout for a good bargain? Do you wait to buy something that is on sale? Do you coupons every time you go grocery shopping? Those are all good things to do to make sure you save money and get a good deal. What about buying a car? You should take that same cost-saving approach when you head out to negotiate for a new car. Here is some good advice to keep in mind:

Save the Trade-In

Before you go to the dealer, you need to look up the value of your old car. You’ll notion there is a range of prices depending on mileage and condition. There is also a scale that is private sale vs. trade-in. It’s always good to err on the side of caution and embrace the lower number. If you plan on using the trade-in at the dealership, then wait until you lock down that final price. That is when you reveal you have a trade-in. If the trade-in value that the dealer is way off from what you think the car is worth, then you should consider selling it privately and applying that money towards the down payment.

Deal Online

Most car dealerships have a department that manages online inquiries. You’ll know the price of the car you’re considering from the information on their website but we all know that won’t be the final price. Try to make your first contact through email to get the deal making started. You might find that you get a lower deal through email because they want to bring you into the dealer.

Find Rebates

There are two levels of rebates: Those that come from the dealer and those that come from the manufacturer. Often those manufacturer rebates aren’t fully disclosed by the dealer. Why would they offer you less if they didn’t have to? That’s why you should always check on the manufacturer’s website as well.
