INSIDER SECRET #6
WHAT IS DEALER HOLDBACK?
Now understand this: Even if the car dealership sells you a vehicle at dealer cost or "invoice," they are still making money!
The factory gives them what is called "holdback" on each new vehicle sold.  On a vehicle that stickers for $30,000 the "holdback" could be as much as $800 to $900!
Now, don't get too excited just yet!  Read more...

INSIDER SECRET #2
ABOUT YOUR CAR LOAN PAYOFF. . .
The "payoff" is the amount of money remaining on YOUR car loan!  This is money that YOU owe!  The car dealer doesn't owe it! You do!
So, when you trade in your vehicle, the "payoff" balance must be paid off, or the bank will not release your title to the car dealer you're trading to!

INSIDER SECRET #20
THE BEST TIME
TO BUY A CAR
The best time to buy a new or used car or truck is:
1. The Weekend Including Monday Nights!
These are the busiest times of the week in a car dealership.  Most promotions are geared for these times.
2. The End of the Month!
During the last few days of the month the sales manager and the salespeople are all very motivated to put together as many deals as they can, so they can make their quota and bonus.
3. The End of the Model Year!
When the new models are rolling in, the car dealers desperately want to get rid of their leftover models as soon as possible.  As such, they are very likely to accept almost any reasonable deal that you offer them on these vehicles.  Read more...

When Buying Your New Car Consider the Following:

  • Think about what car model and options you want and how much you're willing to spend. You'll be less likely to feel pressured into making a hasty or expensive decision at the showroom and more likely to get a better deal. Do some research below:

  • Shop car websites such as CarCostCanada.com that discuss new car features and prices. These may provide information on the car dealer's costs for specific models and options.

  • Shop around to get the best possible car price by comparing models and prices in ads and at car dealer showrooms. You also may want to contact car-buying services and car broker-buying services to make comparisons.

  • Plan to negotiate on price. Car dealers may be willing to bargain on their profit margin, often between 10 and 20 percent. Usually, this is the difference between the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and the car dealer invoice price.

  • Consider ordering your new car if you don't see what you want on the dealer's lot. This may involve a delay, but cars on the lot may have options you don't want - and that can raise the price. However, car dealers often want to sell their current inventory quickly, so you may be able to negotiate a good deal if an in-stock car meets your needs.

Financing Your New or Used Car

If you decide to finance your car, be aware that the financing obtained by the car dealer, even if the dealer contacts lenders on your behalf, may not be the best deal you can get.

Contact car lenders directly. The best source for Canadian car loans is AutoCredit.ca. Compare the car financing they offer you with the financing the dealer offers you. I think you'll find that it beats car dealer financing hands down!

Because offers vary, shop around for the best deal, comparing the annual percentage rate (APR) and the length of the loan. When negotiating to finance a car, be wary of focusing only on the monthly payment. The total amount you will pay depends on the price of the car you negotiate, the APR, and the length of the loan.

Sometimes, car dealers offer very low financing rates for specific cars or models, but may not be willing to negotiate on the price of these cars. To qualify for the special rates, you may be required to make a large down payment. With these conditions, you may find that it's sometimes more affordable to pay higher financing charges on a car that is lower in price or to buy a car that requires a smaller down payment.

Before you sign to purchase or finance a car, consider the terms of the financing and evaluate whether it is affordable. Before you drive off the car lot, be sure to have a copy of the car buying contract that both you and the dealer have signed and be sure that all blanks are filled in.

Some car dealers and car lenders may ask you to buy credit insurance to pay off your loan if you should die or become disabled. Before you buy credit insurance, consider the cost, and whether it's worthwhile. Check your existing policies to avoid duplicating benefits.

Remember . . . the best source for Canadian car loans is AutoCredit.ca.

Trading in Your Old Car

Discuss the possibility of a trade-in only after you've negotiated the best possible price for your new car, and after you've researched the value of your old car. You can research the value of your trade at Yahoo! Autos . This information may help you get a better price from the dealer. Though it may take longer to sell your car yourself, you generally will get more money than if you trade it in.

If You're Considering an Extended Auto Warranty

Before deciding to purchase an extended auto warranty, read it carefully and consider these questions:

  • How many years of experience do you have selling and administering car warranties?
  • Do you Offer No-Interest Financing?
  • Can I Choose The Repair Facility Where I Have My Vehicle Repaired?
  • Do You Pay The Repair Facility Directly or Do I Have To Lay the Money Out Then Get Reimbursed?
  • Can You Verify and Prove That Your Company is Financially Stable?
  • Do Your Warranties Include Wear and Tear Coverage?
  • Is Over-heating of the Engine Covered?
  • Do You Offer One Deductible Per Visit or One For Each Item Repaired?
  • Do You Offer a Zero Deductible Option?
  • Do you Offer Roadside Assistance Coverage?
  • Do you Offer Car Rental Coverage?
  • Do You Offer Travel Interruption Coverage?
  • Is The Extended Warranty Transferable and Renewable?
  • Are Your Extended Warranties Insured By Top Rated Insurance Companies?

INSIDER SECRET #11
BEWARE OF THE CAR DEALERSHIP'S SELLING SYSTEM!
Most dealerships train their salespeople in a "Selling System" that is designed to lead you through the car buying process in such a manner that you don't realize that you are being manipulated and led down the "Yellow Brick Road" to the sale!
This system takes on different variations.  For example, the "Ten-Step," the "Eight-Step," the "Four-Square" and so forth, but the end result is always the same.  To get you to make an emotional buying decision right there on the spot!

INSIDER SECRET #3
BEWARE OF CAR DEALER ADS. . .
It never ceases to amaze me how so many people fall for the phony nonsense that car dealers put in their ads! Yet week after week you see the most outrageous ads run by the car dealers.  And let me tell you, those big color newspaper ads aren't cheap!
Whatever you think the ads are saying, Don't Believe Them!  There's a catch, an angle or something misleading in MOST car ads.
I emphasize "MOST" because there ARE honest dealers out there who have too much integrity to pull some of the shenanigans that go on!
By the way. . . the sole purpose of all the gimmicks you see in car ads, is to get you in the door at the dealership, and not let you leave until you buy a vehicle.

INSIDER SECRET #4
WHAT ARE
PROGRAM CARS?
Dealers often advertise "Program Cars" in their ads.   "Program Cars" are usually advertised as "Smart Cars," or "Factory Official Cars" or "Factory Demo's."   They are usually one or two year old vehicles with 30,000 miles or less on them.  Read more...

INSIDER SECRET #10
BEWARE OF THE
SPOT DELIVERY
The "spot delivery" is a technique that car dealers use to get you to take delivery of a vehicle immediately after you agree on a car deal.
Car sales people know they have to get you when you're "HOT," or when you're all worked up emotionally.   Everything is Now, Now, Now!  In the Car Business There's No Tomorrow!
The F & I Manager will throw together some bank papers for you to sign, and then, usually, after you're down the road, he'll get the deal approved at the bank, and hope they go along with the rate and terms that he signed you up for!
If they can't get the loan bought anywhere then they have to get the car back from you!  Not a pleasant situation for them or you!  Read more...
