Once armed with knowledge, most drivers walk into a car dealership to test drive the vehicle and possibly walk out with a new car.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Once you start negotiating based on the invoice price, the car dealership will know you\u2019ve done your research giving you instant credibility<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bargaining or negotiating the car purchase is an old age tradition of car buying. Even when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/app\/us?utm_source=blog_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buying a vehicle from a private seller<\/a> instead of a car dealer. You\u2019re almost expected to negotiate and bring the price down, and car salespeople know that. They\u2019re ready for it, even willing to give in a little to play their part in the song-and-dance that is buying a car.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But most drivers don\u2019t know there\u2019s a lot more opportunity to negotiate various costs or separate payments when car buying. It\u2019s not only about the sticker price, you can negotiate other costs like warranty and trade-in value too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">The invoice price vs. the MSRP sticker price<\/span><\/strong><br \/>As mentioned previously, most car buyers will negotiate the MSRP, but you should pay close attention to the dealer invoice price. That\u2019s the price the car dealership paid for the vehicle when it came from the factory, and of course you won\u2019t see that number slapped on the windshield.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/?utm_source=digibanner_never\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" class=\"wp-image-13374 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NEVER-IN-LINE-ALWAYS-ONLINE-3.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But with a little research online, you can find that invoice price. Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds often have that info. Once you know what your car dealer paid for it, you\u2019ll be more ready to negotiate. On top of that invoice price, a car dealership gets incentives and discounts that lowers their final purchase price for the vehicle even lower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">Depending on the state, dealers don\u2019t even have to disclose that they\u2019ve hiked the rate they\u2019re offering<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Interest rates are another thing car buyers forget to negotiate<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The car dealership will offer up an interest rate when you\u2019re financing to own. Don\u2019t just accept the first interest rate thrown your way; exercise those bargaining muscles. Dealerships typically make a bit of money on the interest rate offered to car buying prospects. The dealers sell the loan to a bank or financial institution, and pocket the markup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">The best interest rates from credit unions as of April 2021, include Allian, Bethpage Federal, Blue Federal and Connexus<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to haggle on the interest rate, opt for doing your own research regarding rates. You can get pre-approved by an online lender such as Bank of America or LightStream, leverage the personal relationship you have with your own personal bank, or work with credit unions for a better interest rate on the vehicle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Your trade-in value can be worth more<\/span><\/strong><br \/>For your car dealership, it\u2019s a great trade-off to get your trade-in since there\u2019s usually more profit in used vehicles sales. Today, used cars are selling like hotcakes. In 2019 alone, nearly 41 million units were sold. Even during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, the search volume for best car deals and truck deals has grown 70% globally from March 22 to March 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\">During the summer of 2020, car sales were up among those ages 18 to 35 years old due to fear of contracting the coronavirus in public transport and ridesharing<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you\u2019re offered a trade-in value for your vehicle, make sure to negotiate it and get more dollars for it. You can compare the fair market value price, try another car dealership to see if you can get more for your trade-in, or simply sell the car yourself before you buy a new one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Don\u2019t let your guard down with maintenance packages<\/span><\/strong><br \/>Any extras you\u2019re offered up in the back office, including maintenance and service packages, protection plans, and extended warranties, should be negotiated. Discuss the price, length of time on some of these plans, and if you can purchase some separately so as to keep cost as low as possible. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now go and get a great deal on your favorite car, and don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/app\/us?utm_source=blog_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">register your car online<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"is-style-cnvs-paragraph-callout\"><br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a car requires several steps, which these days typically start online with research, comparing prices, and looking up car insurance rates.
