With all of the great new models coming out this year, not to mention the cutting edge technology included in the 2011 line-up, it is a great time for any Phoenix Arizona resident to consider purchasing a new vehicle.\u00a0 Yet there is the middle man, the car salesman.\u00a0 While being a car salesman is a noble and necessary profession, as someone in the market for a good deal on a quality car, we must keep in mind that the job of the salesman is to sell, not to inform.\u00a0 So what knowledge and forethought must we equip ourselves with before we head out to the auto lots?\u00a0 Here are a few tips.<\/p>\n

4. Look for Rebates and Incentives:\u00a0 Manufacturers, not the dealers, offer cash rebates in order to free up overstocked cars.\u00a0 Check online with the various auto manufacturers for these.\u00a0 Also, check trade publications to see which models the manufacturers are offering cash incentives on, use this knowledge to get a better deal at or below invoice.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Learn to Negotiate:\u00a0 Some may call it haggling.\u00a0 Make an offer to the sales person (below invoice price), they will counter offer, you counter offer back, and so it goes.\u00a0 It is wise to counter offer by raising your price by increments of one or two hundred.\u00a0 After the sales person leaves to speak with the manager the second time, he or she will likely offer the vehicle at the lowest price they can that day.\u00a0 At this point, take it or leave it.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Try an Alternative to the Dealership:\u00a0 Credit Unions and membership warehouse stores like Costco often offer what is called a “buying service”.\u00a0 This service will locate the vehicle you are looking for, according to your specifications, and will handle a dealership for you, along with much of the paper work involved, often going as far as to offer front door delivery.<\/p>\n

1. Know the Tax Small Print:\u00a0 On heavy gas guzzlers there may be an additional sales tax of up to $8,000, while most hybrid models actually offer a tax deduction of up to $2,000.\u00a0 That is an easy way to save $10,000 at purchase.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Arizona, being a car city, has many dealerships conveniently located throughout the Valley.\u00a0 Check with yelp.com to see which dealerships receive the highest overall customer ratings, and stick with those.<\/p>\n
