7 Ways To Buy A Cheap Car Directly From A Main Dealer!

If you want to buy a cheap new car, there are a few juicy little secrets that the dealers don't want you to know, but could add up to a huge amount of money. After 23 years working in a main dealer, I'm going to spill the beans - and you can benefit hugely.

What you really need is some 'insider information'. Someone in the know, who's going to tell you just where the bargains are, and how to get them. Now a former dealer with 23 years of experience breaks the code of silence, and tells you how to save a fortune the next time you want to buy a car.

If you choose you're moment, you can get a great deal. No dealer will turn you away because you're buying at the wrong time, but the last week of every quarter (March, June, September and December) sees a rush to get registrations, and manufacturers give dealers bonus money for taxing cars then, and the dealers will pass that on to you for being in the right place at the right time.

You can also cash in on the salesman's ego to get a bargain. One of their 'perks' is a company car, which is often a higher spec than standard. Most salesmen wants the latest 'plate, but they have to sell their car first, so when the new plate is out, or the model changes, they'' often sell their own car for little or no profit just to change their own car.

You can also save a good chunk of cash by buying a pre-registered car. These cars are registered by dealers to meet manufacturers targets. They are usually given huge bonus payments for every car that they register in their own name - it's usually hundreds and even thousands of pounds. When the dealer gives that money to you, you can be sure that you're getting a real bargain.

Using the dealers own finance company is also a way of saving money when you're buying a car. Most manufacturers have their own finance company that they either own outright or have a partnership with a bank. Their rates are priced to make a car look attractive to you, and they will almost always be cheaper than the bank - all you have to do is ask for their best rate.

Get the most for your part exchange by having it professionally valeted before you take it to the dealership. As well as buying a new car, you're also trying to sell your old one, and just like you'll be impressed with the dealers clean car, they will also be impressed with your car when it's freshly cleaned. 30 spent having it cleaned can be worth hundreds of pounds on your used car value.

Buying a late model, low mileage car can half the list price of many cars. Think about this; if a new Mondeo has a list price of 18,000, and you can get one that's six months old with 4,500 miles on the clock for half the price, would you buy it? Those cars are out there today, you just have to look. They have usually been owned by car rental companies who get huge discount from new, and then make their profit not by renting them out, but when they sell them on. They also know that they have to be well looked after to get the best price, so you can be sure that you're buying a bargain that will still have more than two years of manufacturers warranty left.
