What’s the Best Way to Look For a Great Deal on a Used Car or Truck?
Car buyers of today have just about too many options to shop. From social media marketplaces to classifieds to dealership websites, we are overwhelmed with choices and a nearly unending supply of cars. So where can we go to find the best deal? Ultimately it comes down to three options: a small car lot, a private transaction, or a dealership. Every choice has its pluses and minuses, but when you’re making such a big decision you want to give yourself the best opportunity of getting the best deal you can.
Pre-Owned Car Buying at Your Local Auto Dealership
While a lot of people would agree that it’s the easiest way to buy a used car, many believe they can score a cheaper deal somewhere else. While you could possibly get a less-expensive price elsewhere (likely with more miles and fewer guarantees), nothing can beat the service we can provide you.
Some of the benefits of buying your next car here are:
Convenient Open Hours – We’re open extended hours so that we can be available when you need us.
Buy Online – Can’t make it to us? You can buy online 24/7.
Delivery of Your Vehicle – We deliver. Just ask and we will see what we can do.
Impressive Selection – Most dealers don’t have the same selection.
CPO Vehicles – For your peace of mind, we have Certified Pre-Owned cars.
Pricing that is Straightforward – Our trained pricing professionals work diligently to set competitive prices.
History Reports of the Vehicle – Get the history of the used car you might purchase.
Easy to Access Customer Reviews – It’s easy to see what other buyers think.
Many Financing Options – We have multiple ways to get you financed.
Used Car Lot Sales
An independent used car lot can offer a few of the conveniences of a bigger dealership, such as a bigger selection of cars, trucks, or SUVs and the ability to browse them online. You can still get a big choice of cars and the possibility of browsing them online at an independent used car lot, but they do offer more risks to shoppers. While some car lots could be an established part of the local area, several others seem to never last all that long. Here are some of the other differences between a dealer and a car lot:
Car Inspections – Inspections at car lots are normally not quite as thorough.
Repairs – To maximize profits and save money ‘quick fixes’ may be employed.
Mechanics – Car lots usually only have limited on-site repair mechanics, many with minimal experience.
Character – Some used car lots pick profitability over customers.
Vehicle Quality – Be on the lookout for cars that have high miles with questionable histories.
Financing – If they even provide in-house financing, their interest rates are usually higher.
No Certified Pre-Owned – CPO vehicles are only available at approved dealers.
Buying From Independent Sellers
If you’re searching for a rare vehicle, particularly an old car, then a personal seller may be your only real option. You could get a great price, but you assume all of the risk in this scenario. You would be accountable for all of these features found at the dealership:
Reviews – Good luck finding any information. Should you believe the seller?
No Warranty – Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware
Vehicle History – You’re responsible for paying for the vehicle history reports.
Inspections – A 3rd party pre-purchase inspection is suggested before you purchase a used car, but you are on the hook for the cost.
Financing – While many sellers want cash, you can also try getting a loan through your own lender. Your choices are limited either way.
Current Condition of the Car – There may be underlying or unknown reasons why they are selling the vehicle.
