I have never purchased a car, new or second-hand, without successfully negotiating a better deal than the one first offered by the salesperson. I have a PCP? This will end in April next year, what options do I have, other than changing for another new car.
I want change the car now, not next year. I want a smaller car, I live in a small village and only use the car around the village and shopping.
Thank you. Last October I found a Skoda Yeti 1. When buying cars always decide what you want to pay,tell dealer,they agree or you walk away-simple.
What a genius Your blanket advice could prevent a potential buyer from making the best purchase when looking to buy their vehicle of choice. You dont mention quality or the comprehensive contents of warranties supplied that also and obviously has a cost element attached. With your advice on never revealing your true budget that tactic can work against the purchaser as a dealer will sometimes not bother to suggest "the next model up" if they deem the gap too far to bridge costing the potential purchaser the opportunity to get a better vehicle than they originally set out to purchase for roughly their true budget.
I tend to print off the details of a few similar cars from the internet at lower prices even if they are no where near where I would travel to. Even if the car has faults, just print off pictures of the car with the price on. When the dealer see's you have these other cars to look at, he's more likely to drop his price to stop you going elsewhere.
I am in barking on buying a second car at the moment it's a minefield not to choose a lemon. Your article however is most useful and I shall be carrying your pointers around with me Thank you.

Buying a used car from a dealer is less risky than buying privately because you have more consumer rights if the car shows serious faults later.
Buying a used car privately will usually get you a better deal than when buying through a dealer. They might have already seen a car they want to buy and are under pressure to sell their old car. Or advertised it in the local paper for a week already, or had it on a site such as Auto Trader for a month?
If you have problems with your car, your consumer rights might be influenced by how you paid for it. MoneyHelper is the new, easy way to get clear, free, impartial help for all your money and pension choices.

The report will provide important information about the car such as accident history, outstanding liens, odometer reading and service records. It will also give you insight into the registration and branding history. This critical information can be used as leverage in the negotiation phase.
Consider other factors. There are several other things that can influence the selling price of a car such as colour, if it was smoked in, wear and tear on the interior, number of previous owners, extended warranties, after-market features, extras like winter tires or recent replacement of important features like brakes.
Use these as factors as opportunities to negotiate the price of the used car. Take the car for a pre-purchase inspection. Get an independent, licensed mechanic to give the vehicle a detailed inspection.
Remember the sales tax. Know your walk away price. Work as a team. Talk about your negotiation strategy beforehand and together decide what your ideal price range is and determine your maximum price.
