Auto analyst & editor of JEFFCARS.COM tells ESSENCE MAG that the best time to go shopping for a new whip is the last week of the month when dealers & manufacturers are under pressure to meet sales quotas. Here are a few other car buying tips:
*Get last year's model - There's always a surplus & you may be able to save $5k & up. Hey it depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot anyway so what's the point in getting an '09?
*Bring cash - Show up with your own financing. Usually credit unions give the best interest rates. Be mindful that due to current economic conditions although prices are low you will need a bigger down payment.
* Ask for extras - You never know what you can get until you ask. Free oil changes, extended warranties, complimentary car washes, customized headrests (j/k)...Hey you might surprise yourself.
These tips coupled with the desperate state of the auto industry should guarantee you to drive away with LOTs of money left in the bank for a new wardrobe to match your new wheels!
