For anyone interested in buying new cars…this is what you MUST DO to avoid getting ripped off and for saving a fortune on a new car.

If you go into a new car dealer with the attitude that you’re “just shopping” then you will probably succumb to the intense pressure put on you by the car sales person and end up buying a car that day only to find out later that you probably spent thousands more than you needed to.

Here is what you must do when buying new cars…

• Get online new car price quotes and figure out who you can get your best deal from. If your online research has shown that you can buy your new car online for a lot less than at a car dealer – then by all means go ahead and buy online! Thats a huge car buying tip that will not only save you money, but also hours of time and energy.

• Even if you choose to “pound the pavement” and buy a car from a local dealer, you can use these new car price quotes as an extremely powerful tool when negotiating with a car salesperson, so take them with you in a folder.

• Make a few photocopies of your drivers license. You’ll need this later when the dealer asks for it when you go to test drive your new car. Scratch out your drivers license number on it though. In some states they can get your credit report with your drivers license without your permission!

• Get your car loan online and get approved the same day instead of dealing with the human shark in the car dealers finance department.

• Go to your car dealer well fed. I’m serious! This is a huge car buying tip. If you show up starving and with low blood sugar then you can expect to be fleeced. You just won’t be able to keep up with all the tricks that can be pulled on you. You’re going into battle man! So bring snacks and water to stay hydrated. Remember: You need to keep your head clear!

• Get a free no obligation quote for an extended car warranty from an outside source INSTEAD of from the car dealer. You can save hundreds of dollars from what a car dealer will charge and quite possibly get a better extended car warranty too.

• Take your purchase quotes, credit reports, warranty notes and copies of your drivers license, etc with you and watch the sales persons jaw drop in shock as you whip them out. This is a powerful negotiating technique when you buy cars from a dealer.

Thats it. Do all of the above and you will find that buying new cars can actually be a pleasant and fun experience instead of the usual rip-off session. Not to mention the fact that you can and will save thousands of dollars too!
