2 Ways To Get A New Car For Less
Posted on: 26 June 2018
Buying a new car can be quite an investment. There are things that you can do that will still let you get the new car that you want without having to pay an arm, a leg, and your first-born child.
1. Get an Older Model Year
Instead of getting a brand-new model year, look for a model year that's one year old. The newest model year cars tend to come out in the middle of the year, and when that happens, the current model year cars tend to go down in price. For example, you can buy a 2017 model car for less than you would be able to buy a 2018 model year, even if they both have the exact same features and options and are both completely new. Likewise, when the 2019 cars come out, the 2018s are going to be less expensive. You are still going to get the advanced features that you are looking for, just at a lower price.
2. Use a Trade-in
If at all possible, then you should trade your old car in. Doing that is going to let you get a discount on the price. The dealer will look at your car, evaluate its value, and then give you credit towards your purchase in the amount of that value. There are a lot of things that are going to go into their evaluation. That can include how old your car is, what kind of shape it's in, how common it's make and model is, and whether or not they'll be able to move it quickly. A recent model car that's in like new shape, and that is a popular car make, and model will be easier for the dealer to sell than one that's in poor shape.
The dealer is more likely to give you more money for the first car because they can sell it on quickly. There are things that you can that will help increase the valuation of your car. You can make sure that all the mechanicals in the car are working as well as they should. You should also make sure that the car is as clean as possible. You can either take it in to get it detailed or you can do it yourself, but making sure all the cracks and crevices are clean can only help you.
