The good feeling you get when you drive a new car off the lot can be ruined quickly if you're wondering whether you paid too much. These tips can help you be sure you get the best deal possible on your auto loans Indianapolis.
Timing is Everything
Shop for a vehicle at the end of the month. A salesperson that is close to his monthly incentive quota will be more likely to accept a lower price or throw in free upgrades to close a sale.
Ask for a Dealer Quote
Take control of the negotiation process by calling dealers and asking for an up front quote for a particular automobile. If a dealer won't give you a quote over the phone, move on to one who will.
Offer Less
Don't feel guilty about price negotiations. It's the best way to get a great deal. Ask to see the dealer invoice and make your offer accordingly.
Looking for a new auto this spring? Avoid getting in over your head by following these simple guidelines when car shopping for auto loans Indianapolis.
Don't buy more than you can afford.
As a rule of thumb, your total car expenses should be no more than 25% of your household income, and that includes your loan payment, insurance, fuel and maintenance for all cars in your household.
Sell your vehicle outright, especially if you are upside down on it.
If unsuccessful you can still finance a new vehicle up to 120% loan-to-value which absorbs your negative equity. Given the low interest rate environment, your auto loan payment can still be manageable in spite having to pack in the negative equity on the trade in.
Consider extending the term of your contract by 6-12 months to make Mechanical Breakdown Protection fit into your budget.
Cars are built to last longer with the average age of a vehicle in our driveways being almost ten years old. You can still finance your car for 5-7 years and have three or four years of no car payment. This saved money can go towards the down payment of your next car or auto insurance Indianapolis.
Avoid paying out-of-pocket expenses if you have an accident or if your vehicle is stolen.
Consider buying
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) coverage from Financial Center, an Indianapolis credit union, which covers any difference between what you owe on your auto loan and how much the insurance company values your automobile for.
