How to Buy a Car: Avoid Getting Ripped Off

user

There are many things that you don’t want to see a dealership do to you as a buyer, but there are some things that you should not do as well, if you don’t want to alienate the dealer.

Here is a list of “don'ts” that you should abide by if you are really looking to get a good deal.
  • Don’t try to pull one over on the dealer by lying about the condition of your trade in vehicle. It is just a lie that you can’t get away with, and could cause many cost increases later.
  • Don’t bother looking for a car if you have had a recent bankruptcy because you most often will not get approved anyway.
  • Don’t give the dealership a deposit and then try to take it back for no reason because you should have researched the car before making the purchase. You can also lose money on the return.
  • Don’t bother lying about your debt load and credit rating because they will check it anyway.
  • Don’t offer any money for a car unless you already know the dealer cost because you are setting yourself up to get ripped off.
