The infamous car dealers. Everyone has heard of the bad reputations of car dealers, so how can you not get cheated by the con. There are ways to find out for yourself how much you should be paying for a certain vehicle, and then you can tell if your dealer is just taking you for a ride.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't limit yourself. Go to a few different dealerships, this gives you more options and prices. Whatever you do, do not make a hasty decision, you will regret it.
Step 2
Write notes, if you like a car write it down. Be sure to include the make (chevy, ford, etc..), model (Toyota Camry, ford focus, etc..), year the vehicle was made, if it is a sedan (4 door), coupe (2 door), hatchback, etc.. and get a vin number. Also be sure to write down the place of the vehicle, and the price wanted.
Step 3
Get on the internet. Go to kelley blue book, http://www.kbb.com/ and enter in the vehicles that you are looking at. The purpose of kelley blue is to give you three prices, trade-in value (value of your car if you are trading it in), private party value (if you were buying a vehicle from a person rather than a car dealer), and suggested retail value (what the price should if you were to buy it from a car dealer). This website will give you a lot of your information.
Step 4
After you have narrowed your search for a vehicle down. You can go to www.carfax.com if you are planning on buying a used vehicle. Here you can use the vehicle's vin number and search the car's history. It gives you any title problems, ownership history, and more. However the car fax does cost money usually $30 to $40.
