When you are buying a car, do not go out and get the most flashy car in the lot, because when you do that, chances are that you would have bought yourself a lemon and all that is good for is a lemonade. Buying a car that really works according to your expectations is like finding a needle in the haystack. Most of the car dealers know their business and would do just about anything to push off a lemon car to you so you would most definitely want to watch out for that.
Remember that you are the one who is making the purchase with your hard earned dollars and therefore you are the one in control. The many things that one should do before making the actual purchase are all listed below.
1. Do the necessary research on the car and the make, lets say for example that you want to buy a red jaguar like the one that Grace Kelly owned, that would cost a lot, right! But before you hand that cash over, just go online and do some research in that car and its make and whether the customers who had purchased that car were all satisfied with the car, per se. After all when it comes to cars, all is not what it seems and that is the brutal truth of all.
2. According to Attorney Craig Thor Kimmel, of the Lemon Law Firm of Kimmel and Silverman, there is nothing better than the word of mouth, ask the people around you for their takes on whatever cars they have purchased and as to whether they are satisfied? In the end, whether you purchase a SUV, sports car or any other car, it is much much better to do it based on the reviews of the car in question as well as their review of the dealership itself.
3.Remember the MSRP, that is the manufacturers suggested retail price, most of the dealerships will offer you the car at a much lesser price than the MSRP until and unless the car is in great demand. So remember that and do not forget to ask the dealership to reduce the rates, in short, haggle as you have never done so before and believe it or not, you will end up saving thousands of dollars.
4.Go for the test run with the car in question, never, never purchase it without doing this. Unless and until you go for the test run with the car,how will you know that the car is working fine and all that? So it is always a very good idea to take the car out for a test run!
5.No warranty, no purchase is what you should remember when you step into a dealership. Getting a warranty from the dealership will be of no use as that cannot be enforced legally so it will have to be directly from the manufacturer. So remember to ask for that warranty from the manufacturer otherwise you will end up buying a lemon for sure!
6. Remember, you are the customer and as such you have rights and what is more to know more on this, your rights as well as access to cost free legal help just go to Lemon Law and you can have most of your queries answered there. So, remember all that I have posted here before you make that trip to the dealership!
