New Ways to Buy a Car
Buying a Car Online
In the not too-distant past, car buyers had only one option
for buying a vehicle: going from dealer to dealer in a search for the best deal. The Internet has changed all that,
opening 2 new options for car buyers.
|

The "Old" Way
|
How To: Select a vehicle,
drive from dealer to dealer getting price quotes, choose the "best deal" and buy the car.
Advantages:
"Hands-on" approach. You can see and drive the vehicles in which you are interested.
Disadvantages:
The risk of a cat and mouse game as you try to secure the best price.
Source: Your
time and money. |

New Option 1

Online Price Quotes
|
How To: Select a vehicle
and secure a free online price quote. Make one trip to the dealer to purchase the car.
Advantages:
Can save time and money and, if the price is acceptable, eliminates running from dealer to dealer.
Disadvantages:
Although these sources have relationships with dealerships nationwide, the dealer may not be the closest to you.

New Option 2

Buying a Car Online
|
How To: Selecting a
vehicle and handling the entire transaction online. You receive a verified discount price and can arrange to pick
up the vehicle.
Advantages:
The whole process is handled from your home or office, meaning that you may never have to even visit (let alone
haggle with) a dealer.
Disadvantages:
You will need to do your "up-front" work first to verify the make and model you want.
