As I women buying a car if often hard. I always take my husband with me to check out the technical things. The first dealer we went to, the salesman was a man, and ignored me completely. I was the one paying for the car, and I got very upset.
Ever since then I won't buy a car from anyone but a woman.
.:Why A Women?;.
A women finds out who the buyer is. She looks you straight in the eye when she is talking to you. If you have brought a companion with you she will included them in the conversation, but not convince them to help her sell the car to you.
.:Why Not A Man?:.
A man almost seems desperate to make the sale, (in Canada we call this a hard sell).
.:Always Find Out What The Blue Book Price Is:.
All Car Dealers have this book and in Canada, they have to show it to you if you ask to see it.
The Blue Book tells you the price the Dealer payed for the car.
.:When I The Best Time To Buy A Car:.
In Canada, the best time is in the Fall, just before the new cars are coming out.
Most Dealers have a lot of cars left, and need room for the new cars.
I once bought a car for$100.00 that the Dealer payed for it.
A nothing type of car to look at is a Demo. These are use for people to take a spin in, to see if they like the car. Most of them have low mileage, and if your lucky you'll get this type of car, at a used car rate.
.:Talk To Your Family And Friends:.
See what type of cars they have driven. If they have a car you might like, ask them if you can take it for a spin.
.:Don't Look At Cars You Can't Afford:.
Why make your self unhappy. You'll fall in love with a car, and then nothing you look at after that will satisfy you.
.:Never:.
Buy a car with out test driving it.
Never Accept The First Price You Are Given. Learn to negotiate. Most dealers have some leeway.
Never buy a car that doesn't have at least a five year warranty.
.:Find Our:.
If you are financing the car find out what the interest rates are.
How much the Insurance is going to cost you, and if you are in a collision, will they lend you a car, until yours has been repaired.
Thank you for reading my review.
