Before buying a car, it is important to gather every information you can get on the car. The more informed you are the less likely you are to purchase a wrong model and get duped. Therefore, here are few useful tips for getting a good deal:



Do some research: Log on to Edmunds.com, Cars.com, Kbb.com and manufacturers’ sites. You will get all the necessary information, ratings, prices and reviews.



Take it a step at a time: Negotiate each part of the deal separately — car price, financing and trade-in value. Check out the car loan provided at before local bank, credit union or online. Find out the value of used car to dealers.



Know how to bargain: Rely on the dealer-invoice price on the Web not the manufacturer-suggested retail price, or MSRP. Instead, look up the Figure on paying 4% to 8% above that, says Consumer Reports. Pay attention to factory-to-dealer incentives through the net to get the lowest deal.



Know when to shop: Discounts are frequent including rebates, low- or no-interest financing. This year’s model comes cheaper then the next. Best time to purchase is at the end of the month as sales quotas have to be met by the dealers.



So now, what are you waiting for? Head over to the nearest dealer and get the car you have been dreaming of by surprising the dealers with your well-researched information.
