What does gas prices do for New Car Sales?

Well for the Dealer it puts them at a bit of a slow down but for you the consumer its a great time to make a great deal ! With trade in's still high and incentives and APR'S low consumers have the upper hand at making a deal that when you drive off the lot your in a better situation than you've been in a long time. We all know that new vehicles depreciate but they are depreciating alot less these days with less mark up and building a much better product. It still comes down to how well you negotiate and much you prepare before you go. The right dealership makes all the difference in the world.

Interest Rates

How do I know what a good interest rate is ? I cant tell you how many of times consumers would walk into the dealership to buy a car and have no clue what their credit score is and just hope they walk out with a good rate. I tell listeners and consumers all the time to go to Experian or Equifax and get your score but always remember that the score doesn't always tell the whole story and what you will qualify for. This is a time to connect with someone outside the dealership to get all the information like income verses debt, how long you've been at your job and residence along with answers to any past credit issues. One big thing is to know your GROSS income before taxes and any other income that is verifiable as to maximize the loan and interest rate. Banks have a lot of money to loan and are looking for good reasons to loan it !Trade In's verse selling prices ! Here are a few tips for keeping your cool when getting all the value for your trade in. First all you need to do is give the car a good bath and vacuum when going to trade it in. Putting a lot of money in a car before trade in will not get you the value plus repairs. The dealership can do everything needed to the car for a lot less do to their service department and vendors. Now comes the value, don't compare what the selling prices are because we don't actually know what they wind up selling for or what you think it might retail for that's where the mind starts to hurt. Let's get a number on the car before you go and get a good general idea of the value with knowing the dealership will have reconditioning costs in order to be able to resell your car. Too many consumers compare retail to value and that becomes the sticking point and long negotiations when buying a car, no need to go their.
