never know, it's different for each car. That's why you need to

There Are Two Types Of Car Buying
Sites
1) Sites that sell directly to you and list all the prices online.
CarsDirect is one of them.
2) Free Referral services with a network of thousands of dealers
offering discounted internet volume prices. These services list new
car prices and used car prices online as well. These are the ones we
reviewed above, like Cars.com,
InvoiceDealers, Autoweb,
Car.com,
Autos.com,
CarsDirect and AutoUSA.
How Free Car Pricing Services Work
TIP: When filling out the forms for your car quotes or anything else
online, remember to enter your full email address properly! If your
email address is user@aol.com, don't just enter "user", you must add
the full "user@aol.com". They need to be able to email your dealer
contact information to you.
Referral services provide a discount selling price through a network
of >2000-5000 dealers, no tricks, no gimmicks. Member dealers get
tons of internet referrals from free online request forms that you
and I submit, so they give a better price. These services can get
you a lower price because they typically hook you up with a
non-commissioned fleet manager, or internet manager. One of our
visitors bought a Dodge Ram for $50 over invoice through
AutoUSA.
Here's some good advice about the direct sales sites. If the price
of your car on CarsDirect, is really good or much lower than what
you saw at the car dealer, then for Pete's sake, buy it online. No
haggling for hours and killing your Saturday, no dealer prep and ad
fees, your discounted price is listed on your screen, and your car
is dropped off in your driveway. You never had to leave your chair.
They don't force wasted extras down your throat, and the paperwork
is done in 15 minutes. It's a no brainer.

Don't worry about leaving your email and phone number, it's safe,
they don't sell it to advertisers. They don't hound you about buying
a car, they may email you or call once to give you your price, but
that's it. These aren't greedy lot rats who hound you all week for a
sale. If you don't like the price, they won't waste time on you.
They need to get the deal done quickly with little effort.

Warning about 0% APR loans from
GM, Ford, Chrysler
The 0% APR loans are available only to very few people with perfect
credit, on car loans usually 12 to 36 months. Most of you planning
48 or 60 month loans cannot get 0%. Remember, the ads say "with
approved credit". Also, you either get the 0% APR or the rebate, not
both. Calculate which works out cheaper. Read Tips for getting good
car loans for your backup plan.

How To Price A
Demo Model
Nobody gets a good deal on a loaner car. Period. We all know someone who bought
one and they think they got a good deal, but no one gets a good deal. That's why
we do not recommend buying one, because no pricing data is available and you
cannot accurately price it. There's a loaner car on the lot with 5000 miles that
the sales manager has driven for a few months and they sure are pushing you to
buy it, spouting off about what a great deal it is. Why do they push it so hard?
Due to the mileage, they can give you a slight discount to pacify you. One
former salesman told me some "demo" are referred to as "roll-backs" that people
have purchased but had to bring back because the financing fell through. The
cars are regularly sold again for near full price. The dealer makes extra profit
on it twice. In the usual scenario with a roll-back the original purchaser is
sold a cheaper vehicle when they bring back the first car. The dealer makes
money three times on this one! In most states there are no laws about labeling a
car as new or used, except that once it has been titled, it's used. So many
dealers claim their demo with 5000 to 10,000 miles is "New".
Our formula is to assume the car is a year old, which it probably is close to
that if it has 5000 miles. The problem is, there is a reason why it was a
manager's special with 5000 miles and that reason is most likely it was damaged
or in a wreck, otherwise it would have been sold as new with 50 miles on it.
When you are about to buy a "manager's special" car with mileage, you should run
a Vehicle History Report using CARFAX to see
if there are any records of it being in a wreck, repossessed, sold at auction,
odometer rolled back, etc. Don't trust high mileage "new cars". You might find
nothing, but spending a few dollars for the report is a lot cheaper than $6000
later on unseen damage, and CARFAX brings
great piece of mind. Also, the CARFAX report
tells you when the dealer received the car, a very important negotiating factor.
How do you
determine what the selling price should be?
That's the problem, no one
knows. Here's how we value it. A car drops $3k in value the first minute that
it's used, ask any insurance agent. Then take off $0.15 per mile just like they
would do to you on a lease. So here's 2 methods we came up with to price a demo
car:
Method #1: Your Price = MSRP - $3000 - ( # of miles x $0.15 per mile)
when the car is less than 6 months old.
So for a loaner with 5000 miles, the car should be no more than:
Your Price = MSRP - $3000 - (5000 miles x $0.15 per mile) = MSRP - $3750. Not a
penny more.
Most people get $2000 - $3000 off MSRP negotiating the selling price of a new
car anyway.
Method #2: Your Price = MSRP - 20% per year old - ( # of miles x $0.15
per mile) if the car is over 6 months old.
This is based on typical car residual depreciation, which drops 20% in value the
first year. Ask for maintenance records too, and make sure the car had 2 oil
changes. Most cars require an oil change at 1k and 5k miles. They should do an
oil change BEFORE you sign, no verbal promises of a free oil change later. ANY
excuse for not having maintenance records, the deal's off.
Driving Records
Driving Records are
state driver's license reports containing details about a
driver's history including accidents and violations. Each state
maintains records of their registered drivers' activities
occurring only in that state.
Driving records can be
obtained by insurance companies to determine your rates as well
as by companies during their employment screening procedures
when hiring. Some employers may even require that you submit
your driving
record along with your employment application. A single
typo on your
driving record can cost you hundreds of dollars in insurance
rates. It can even cost you a job.
