6 Car Buying Questions You Must Ask Yourself

For years I worked at car dealerships in both sales and finance where You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get applied to our agency as much as it did our customers. Before you buy your next car, ask yourself these six questions:

• Have you done your homework?
• Do you know why your vehicle choice is right for you?
• Do you have lingering questions or doubts about your deal?
• Do you understand all the numbers?
• Have you driven the exact vehicle you intend to buy?
• Are all your verbal agreements in writing?

Before you hit the lot, research vehicles of interest as well as your trade-in. Find out which vehicles will meet your needs. Insist on concrete answers to your questions. Be sure the numbers add up correctly and that they fit your budget. Drive the intended vehicle before you sign papers. Do not rely on verbal agreements or current policy. Salespeople come and go and policies change. Once you buy a car, it’s yours!
