If you’ve never bought a car on your own, you probably have a lot of questions and concerns. You may have friends and family members loading you up with tips and suggestions on what to do or not do and how to get the best deal. While they mean well, there are many myths regarding the car buying process. Come to Riverhead Bay Subaru and check out some of our Subaru cars and allow our team to help simplify the car buying process. Here are some facts about buying a car.
The Information That Makes a Difference
Some say you'll get the best deal if you have cash. Although this may have been the case many years ago, it’s not necessarily true anymore. Some dealers may offer a discount if you have cash, but it’s not always the case. Many dealers prefer to go through the loan process.
You’ll get a better deal if you dress as if you’re poor? Also, not the case. Regardless of how you’re dressed, most dealers will go over your financial situation and run a credit check.
Have you been told that you'll get a better deal if you finance through a bank rather than the dealership? You can get a good deal either way. If you buy a Subaru from us, or any other vehicle for that matter, we’ll go over all your options and do everything possible to get you the best financing deal. We may even be able to offer a lower interest rate than a bank.
You’ll get a better deal if you’re pre-approved by a bank. Being pre-approved may not get you a better deal, but it can save a lot of time because you’re not wasting time looking at vehicles that are out of your price range.
Expiring deals could save you money is also a common misconception. Deals that appear to be expiring soon are often tactics to get buyers to buy quickly. If the dealer wants to make the sale, they will wait a few days and work with you.
