Tips to get the best deal when buying a new car
Buying a new car is usually a decision that is the result of a long period of reflection. It is a major investment for any pocketbook and is therefore not made impulsively. As customers, we all want to drive the car of our dreams for the lowest possible price. However, the process of buying a new car can be a lengthy one... Discover the keys to saving by getting the best deal.
To buy any product there is a basic requirement: to obtain information. We have to know well the characteristics we are looking for in our dream car. It will also be important to set a maximum budget The company's investment will revolve around, although the different financing options available to each company must be taken into account. Finally, we must compare prices between dealers. Examine well the possibilities offered by the market without forgetting to what equipment and services are included depending on the price difference they present.
In fact, the difference between the price of the same new car model and another from a different dealer can be huge. According to the OCU, which launched a study in 2015 after visiting 129 dealerships in 10 cities, the economic difference can reach up to 24% -5800 euros- .
Filter your search
If we want to obtain a real saving in our pocket it is important to know how to compare. The savings when buying a new car will depend on this dance of prices and offers that floods the Internet. The best thing to do is to start filtering our searches by brands and features.
Once we have decided, we will begin to collect information on the website of the chosen dealer. Do not forget that from Grupo Concesur we deliver our cars all over Spain. Therefore, do not let the geographical space limit you to find your dream vehicle.
Request a quote
Although this may undergo modifications, we must ask the dealer for a written quotation with the information broken down. Our savings tool should contain the base price of the car, general data, model and engine. In addition, it will include the term of validity of the estimate itself.
Other expenses
You should also take into account other associated costs. For example, if you purchase the car with extras, these will considerably increase the final price. You should also be wary of registration tax, which varies between 0% and 14.75% depending on the car's emissions level. Pre-delivery and registration costs are also free and can range from 290 to 900 euros, according to the OCU study.
Showroom or km 0 cars
A good way to get a better price is to opt for one of the cars that are on display or that are already registered (they will not have more than 100km). It is true that it limits the purchase option by not being able to select the color, equipment or extras. But if the model fits what we are looking for is a great option for savings. On our website you will find great deals between the Mercedes km 0 and Mercedes Ocasión.
Finally, you should inform yourself about governmental and private measures aimed at renewing the current vehicle fleet. Here are the main ways to save money to buy a new car that are currently in force:
