Do you have the time to do all of this??? Buying Cars New or Used Use the phone check out as many dealers as you can, you have three choices New or Used car dealers, used car specialists or internet companies, and they will offer great savings let me break them down. New Used car Dealers: These will offer a great service as well as the car itself, price is the all important factor when buying a car however what about where you take it when it breaks down or needs a service? In my experience dealers will offer better deals and savings to customers that will be using the garage for servicing and parts. In fact when a service department is booking in cars they normally ask this question in order of putting their customers first in line of preference. (Worth considering the value of this?) Used car Specialists: the cars will often be cheaper from the start, these dealers still have to offer a minimum 6 months warranty and normally a years MOT but check before you deal. Independents normally have no service centre or official workshop so check that the warranty provided how it works and where to take the car. Cash is still king especially with the independents, so when negotiating bear this in mind however the deal negotiated will be less of a reduction due to the price of the vehicle at the start. Car prices will normally be £750-£1000 less than a franchised dealer so bear this in mind. Excellent places to pick up a great bargain especially on higher specification cars with a higher mileage as the franchised dealers are unable to sell cars over 65000 miles due to their warranty constraints. Internet Companies: difficult to negotiate with as the cars will be already heavily discounted using many of the manufacturer’s bonuses. These companies will either be in contact with the manufacturer or a local dealer to get these prices. Things to be careful of are new cars being sold as new to you, first registered to a dealer or a fleet company so they can get the bonus money to reduce the price. The car is unused (Zero mileage) but you become the second owner. Remember that with a franchised dealer you get the back up of the garage, many internet companies are based in office blocks and will have no service package again this will be a factor at some point. Huge savings can be obtained from these companies but just be sure you understand the whole deal and package. ASA has launched a new service to help car buyers find their ideal car quickly and easily. The service, provided by ASA does all the hunting for a car for the buyer, based on the customers requirements. autosalesacademy.net/services/private-car-shopper-service/
