Finding the best deal on a used car is easy if you are willing to do a little footwork. Dealerships both new and used alike want to move their inventory as quickly as possible. The faster a car dealer can turn a newly acquired vehicle into a sale the more profit they are going to make. The longer a dealer has a car sitting on his lot the more it costs him. Everyday a used car sits it is taking the space of another vehicle the dealer could have purchased and sold. Auto Financing can become an issue as well as the dealer may be paying interest on the money he has invested in the used car. By paying attention to the amount of time a vehicle has been at a specific store you can increase your bargaining power. If you are willing to wait it out you can bring to a dealers attention that the vehicle you are interested in has been on his lot for an extended period of time. Mention you are ready to buy and he is probably anxious to put another vehicle in its spot. Don’t take the dealer for a fool, they aren’t fond of being taken advantage
of. Know the going price of other vehicle of the same model seen at other dealers and use that in your negotiations.
you’ll be surprised how a little patience and comparing prices can get you a better deal on a dealers aged used inventory.
