5 things to consider when buying a new car

Getting a new car is a great investment and there are a lot of things to keep in mind. We’ll give you 5 pointers to make this process easier, relieve stress, and try to save some money.

1- Realize that the word “accredited” does not mean much

• You’ll never find a used car dealer that would admit it, but the term makes practically no sense. In fact, one auto expert said he saw “certified” cars with flat tires and bad brakes.
• Sometimes, an “approved” mark means that someone made a checklist at the repair shop before offering the vehicle for sale.
• Oftentimes, a dealer who sells a used car will offer certified to guarantee a longer life of the car (which is a good thing). But unless this warranty covers everything, chances are you are buying a normal used car with some problems.
• Before you buy a car, take it to your mechanic for a thorough inspection.

2- Learn about extended warranty options
After increasing resource prices, the biggest sources of profit for car dealers are extended warranties.
Before you sign the contract, know that there are other escrow options. The Internet can be a feature of availability for consumers, as a lot of websites offer policies that rival those of the distributor. You may not purchase your warranty online, but only knowing what your pricing options will give you to talk about the price with the dealer.

3. Selection Saves You Money
A car dealer explained exactly what happens when you go to buy a car: Sellers spend their time formulating a strategy to sell you a car to maximize profit.
Want to get a car at the best price? Here’s how: You know exactly the car you want to buy, including the model, options and color. Then go to five different dealers and tell them what you want. Tell each dealer that you’re going to four competitors, that you’re coming back the next day and that you want to hear the best price for it only the price and not the features of the car.

4. Check tire specifications Salespeople
won’t mention this, but some new cars are being sold these days with “performance” tires that are designed to give the vehicle better handling on dry roads at very high speeds.
These tires can cost twice as much as conventional tires, often with no warranty at all.
But you do not know at what time these tires will expire, so choose the tires with the specifications you want.

5- Buy your car in September
This is the time of the year when next year’s model cars come out, dealers are keen to liquidate new old cars and you can get a good deal.
