Used Car Buyer Los Angeles:
Subjects/Quick Guide
Do's and don'ts of negotiating a price for your
Los Angeles used car
Our Used Car Buyer Los Angeles subject list is posted to make sure you get the most for your car instead of leaving most of your car's value for the dealer. As such, the first rule in the Used Car Buyer Los Angeles list bears repeating several times-
Rule One: Keep your used car out of the negotiating process! All other rules on the Used Car buyer Los Angeles list follow from this one. This rule especially applies to you UNTIL AFTER you have negotiated a firm selling price on the car you're buying and have the selling price in writing and signed by the manager!
Leave trade-in issue regarding your car until the other details like selling price, extras, etc are worked out.
Don't bring your used car trade into the picture! Jumping the gun and bringing your used car's trade in value into the discussion too early will become very confusing, and at the worst you risk getting out-negotiated by the salesperson. Remember, they do this for a living, you don't.
Okay, so what if one of the first things the auto salesperson asks you if you trading in your car?"
Remember that you don't have to answer this right away. The salesman is not a prosecutor. Politely find some way around that question or say you're not sure, but you'd like to find out more info about your next car before you discuss your current car.
The salesman might try to pressure you to give him an answer, or he might keep asking you questions about your used car trade-in intentions.
Once again, politely smile and say you're not sure but you'd like your questions answered first about the new car and how much it's going to cost. If the salesman persists on keeping up his trade-in talk, then let him know you'll need to be going soon- and that maybe you'll be back- unless you find your questions answered by another salesman elsewhere.
When the typical Los Angeles used car salesman hears this he'll remember that he needs you to help him pay the rent, you don't need him. He likely will become very focused on your questions instead of his own if he thinks you're likely to walk out on him.
So then WHY EXACTLY is it important for you to play hardball with the car salesman and avoid discussing your car's trade-in? Simple. Talking about trade-ins will either cost you MONEY or cost the salesman MONEY! You decide which. You could simply tell the salesperson that all you're interested in is negotiating a fair price on the vehicle you want to purchase, and that's what you want to focus on. Keep the Car Trade Out of the Negotation Process!
Let the salesperson and the Sales Manager wonder! It will keep them off balance! This is a Good thing!
Secondly . . . Never negotiate a car deal based on "Price Difference," meaning that you agree to buy their vehicle for so much money difference plus your car trade.
If you do, you will end up spending Thousands too much!
Dealerships and Los Angeles used car buyers are in business to make money for themselves, not to give you the best deal possible. That said, dealers are not going to give you more than wholesale prices for your used car trade-in.
Third . . . Never Negotiate a car deal based on payment amount! In other words, they might ask you how much you can afford a month, then say to you, "Will you buy this vehicle today if we can get it for you for $350 a month?" If necessary, copy and paste this Used Car Buyer Los Angeles list, print out, and stick on your refrigerator door. If you negotiate in this manner you will spend thousands of dollars too much.
