Car buying is stressful enough. When you are in the market for your next vehicle, remember to read this over and get ready for your next Austin car sales experience in a more relaxed and professional way by being prepared. Here are some simple steps you can take to make sure it is as comfortable as possible.
1. Don’t just show up at a dealership.
Establish communication with a specific salesperson ahead of time. Use or Facebook marketplace and . It is the best way to make sure your needs are met in a timely and orderly fashion if you have arranged a time for yourself. Make sure to arrive on time or cancel if there is a change in plans. Remember, sales people rely on appointments for feeding their families, if the appointment does not show, they lose their turn, as well as an opportunity to make money for several hours that day because they have to wait for you in case you arrive late.
2. Know your credit score and what interest rate you can get.
There are few things worse on both sides of the table is spending hours test driving that new BMW or Mercedes around the Austin streets only to come back, fill out some paperwork and find out you have a 570 rather than 750 credit score. A high and low score can make or break you, even if you make plenty of money to make the payment. Besides, is very helpful in choosing your overall budget. Be ready to know what your limits are, if any before you go in.
3. Get a feel for the market.
. Cars like the Lexus GS, Jaguar XF, even some Audi’s and Land Rovers are slower off the showroom floor so they can be priced to move. Market demand makes a huge difference. However, if you want a Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, or BMW X3, you need to know so do a lot of other people, so a dealership knows it will not be long before someone buys it no questions asked. Try to pick two or three options rather than holding fast to one exact car, flexibility can get you a lot in car buying.
4. Try to select the vehicle you want from their website.
