There are a lot of car buying tips and tricks out there. Some are good suggestions; others are simply myths. Below are the top three myths we think you should know.
1.Rainy day shopping gets you better deals
The belief that rainy days slow down business and forces dealerships to cut deals more often is a fairytale. You’d be surprised how many people shop on rainy days. Rain or shine won’t affect sale prices at Penske Buick GMC of Cerritos, so feel free to shop in any weather you prefer to shop in.
2. You should “trick” the dealership into giving you a better deal
You’re welcome to try and trick us if you wish, but we know what the competition has and what prices they are selling at. Our job is not to trick you into spending more; rather our job is to sell you a car that meets your wants and needs, so when you are shopping for a new car later down the road, you’ll come back to us.
We suggest just taking your time when car shopping and do your research; if you do so, the car you choose will be exactly what you want and you won’t make an impulse buy. Impulse buys are the last thing you want to do with a big purchase like a car.
3. You’ll get a new car cheaper at the end of the month
In reality, you should shop whenever you want, at the end of the month or at the beginning. The idea that you could get a better price on a car at the end of the month is contingent upon the idea that sales quotas aren’t being met at a dealership for that month. Whether sales quotas are met or not, price on a car is more relative to the model, year, and how long it has been on a lot.
