Learn all you can about dealer tricks because they can quickly erase any discounts or other savings that you think you're getting. Car dealers spend millions of dollars training their salespeople to get more money out of customers, and if you don't know the tricks they use, you could be overcharged by thousands of dollars. Find out the dealer's <B>real cost</B> on the car (it's typically less than invoice) and the prices that smart shoppers are paying for that car, then research any other items you might want (loans, extended warranties, car alarms, etc.). Shop around for competitive auto loan (or lease) rates at banks, credit unions and lenders on the Web. When you find a great interest rate, get pre-approved at that lender <B>before</B> you start negotiating with dealers. If a dealer can beat the rate you found, let him finance the car -- <B>on a "simple interest" contract only.</B> Otherwise, stick with your pre-approved loan.</P> <P><B><FONT size="+1">W</FONT></B>hen you've finished your homework and you're ready to buy (or lease), it's time for the negotiating process -- where dealers quote prices and you make counter-offers. If you've done your homework properly, this process should go faster and produce better results (i.e., lower prices). Use the Internet to get dealer quotes before you start negotiating. To really make dealers compete for your business -- and drive the price down -- get quotes from at least 5 dealers. When you get to the contract stage, make sure the dealer doesn't slip any hidden charges into your loan or lease. (This is known as "payment packing.") To avoid this common rip-off, calculate your own monthly payments -- using a computer program just like the dealers use. Finally, <B>always negotiate the price of the car, not the monthly payment.</B></P> <H3><B><FONT color="#0000FF">Cars, Autos - Money Saving Resources:</FONT></B></H3> <P><B><FONT size="+1">C</FONT></B>arInfo.com has searched the Web to find the best car buying (and leasing) resources.
