As a prospective buyer, you often wonder when is the right time for buying a car. Manuals on how to buy a car that tell you about this, more often than not burn a big hole in your pocket. But in contrast to these lengthy expensive manuals, we here offer you some valuable free advice.

There are various theories one observes carefully while researching on the topic. One such theory states that the best time to purchase a car is during Christmas. The whole Christmas season has people shopping for gifts and generally no one is interested in buying a car. As a result, dealers are more open to bargain and may be ready to sell a car at a lower price. Hence the chance of your offer being accepted without too much haggling is greater. In the month of July to October, dealers try to get rid of old stocks to accommodate new arrivals which indeed helps people to get on a good deal. In order to provide space for the new models dealers willingly reduce prices of the present range. Despite the fact that these cars apparently seem cheaper, we believe that clearance sales are not that favorable to buyers for reasons more than one. Especially in case of used cars, you run the risk of purchasing a car that has not been sold earlier as it is most out of shape.

Another theory is quiet different from the above two and recommends that the best time to buy a car is when you feel you are ready to buy a car. It is when you are sure of what you want and have already done the required homework. Car dealers and salesmen are only interested in their own pay checks and will do their best to sell you a car that will give them the highest commission. They also try to hurry you into buying a car the moment you enter the showroom and it is due to this created sense of urgency that you end up buying the car they prescribe and not the one you want.

Information is a must to get a good deal when you decide to buy a car. Be it at Christmas, or during clearance sales or anytime that is suitable for you, it is very important that you research thoroughly the models like Chevrolet, Dodge, Honda, BMW etc  you are interested in. You should be confident about the things you are looking for in your new car and already have an idea of the deals currently available on the car of your choice. You can really buy a car anytime provided you are well prepared.

If still not sure here are four simple steps to help you make profit while making deals for cars no matter what time of the year it is :

i) Some dealers refuse to bargain over the price of a car. If they accept you opening offer too willingly and do not try to barter for a higher price, there might be something wrong. Go somewhere else.

ii) While negotiating the cost of a car do not discuss the monthly expenses the car entails. Instead focus on the price of the car and its various features. You’ll end up playing less.

iii) If you are thinking of buying a new car never wait till your old car has totally stopped functioning. If you are desperate for a car, the car dealer will sense that and take advantage. You should have ample of time for searching the best car available. You will make an incorrect decision if you hurry in buying such valuable things.

iv) Make sure that you have researched enough before settling for a car. Check whether the car suits your needs before any money changes hand.

We believe that the best time to buy a car is not any particular month or season. It is not a particular date on the calendar but any time when you are in the position to make the requisite inquiries and do the necessary. We suggest that you purchase one of the widely available books that discuss this subject and begin by reading it. So go ahead and see yourself get a car you can be proud of. We wish you best of luck.

A franchised new car dealership is a reliable, if not the only, source for anyone who wants to buy a new car. But to those who prefer buying used or previously owned cars might be a sedan, coupe car, convertible car, hatchback car or used sports car etc there are plenty of options and sources one could choose from to be able to make that vehicle purchase the perfect one.

The following are some of the readily as well as easily available resources to consider when buying a used car.

The Used Car Superstore :
Imagine it as the Wal-Mart of used cars. There have been numerous used car superstores that have mushroomed for the last five years. These superstores usually have a large inventory of used cars for sale, more or less numbering from four hundred to five hundred vehicles. The cars found in these stores more often than not are late models. The vehicles found in these stores came from auctions that cater specially to car dealers. The good thing about buying from these used car superstores is that the warranty they provide are often equivalent to the warranty coverage provided by dealers who sell new cars. However, it is still best to compare.

New Car Dealer :
The logic here is that since new car buyers usually trade in their old cars when they buy a new one, the collection that new car dealerships have are almost always extensive. So used car buyers have a wider range of vehicles to choose from. Also, new car dealerships provide better reconditioning to the used cars traded to them. They are also more reliable source of used cars because their business is more established compared to other used car dealers. Be aware though that sometimes it would take a lot of negotiation on the price of the vehicle to be purchased. They may also attempt to make you buy more cars than what you would actually need.

Used Car Dealers :
There are a hundred used car dealerships in every area of the state. Sometimes, they occupy a small section that contains not more than fifteen cars in a lot. Other used car dealerships, usually the more established ones, have a total of one hundred cars in their vicinity. The great thing about buying from used car dealers is that the prices they offer are a lot less than new car dealerships. Also, it is fairly easier to negotiate with them. A little bit of not so good news though, the quality of these cars are usually less than the new ones of course. There are also not many great selections to choose from.

Private Owners :
The good thing about buying from private owners, the price that they offer are usually reasonable compared to other dealers because this is in accordance with book values. One also would get the opportunity to actually speak with the owner of the vehicle and witness for yourself how the car was cared for or not so cared for. A potential disadvantage of this scenario, however, is that it could be a bit inconvenient driving to the private owner’s place especially if one is considering looking at eight different cars. Basically that would be eight different places, time and appointments. Beware though; private owners who have a stable of used cars to sell may actually be a dealer. Do not be afraid to ask if you could possibly see the title and registration. Start to get suspicious if you see it has only been a few days old.

Car Auctions :

The last decade has seen the development of public auctions for vehicles. Originally, auctions like these are reserved primarily for licensed car dealers. Now, even individuals have the opportunity to bid aggressively for used cars. The quality of these cars put up for auction, as well as the selections of vehicles, actually vary from one auction to another. There are those auctions which specialize dealing in late model vehicles while there are others which dedicate themselves to cheaper and less expensive vehicles. The good thing about buying used cars from auctions is that one could conveniently compare prices and cars because they are shown side by side with each other. Also, the prices that they offer are most likely lower than they do dealerships. However, there is not much chance for one to thoroughly inspect the vehicle being auctioned off. And since one is buying from an auction, it is therefore understood that all sales are final. Any car purchased is automatically yours. Plus, the bidding frenzy could take a hold on anyone and there is a great possibility that one could pay way too much than what a vehicle actually costs.

Luxury car leasing is different :It’s not that luxury cars for sale are more expensive, or that the leasing process is different, but because the consumer doing the leasing is typically different.

Luxury car consumer :
High-end automotive consumers have different priorities, different values, bigger bank accounts, and prefer to transact business differently than people acquiring less expensive vehicles. They have a tendency to lease rather than buy. “High-line” vehicles are leased at the rate of 50% - 70%, depending on brand, compared to only 20% - 30% for non-luxury models.

Luxury auto consumers tend to value time, efficiency, quality of service, and business relationship when dealing with financing. Spending a great deal of time shopping and haggling for bargain deals is less important that establishing a relationship with a company they can trust and depend on to genuinely look out for their interests. High-end customrs tend to be more loyal to a brand and a dealership over a long period of time.

Luxury automobiles make the best lease values, dollar for dollar, due to high lease-end residual values relative to MSRP. In fact, luxury vehicles, as a category, are leased significantly more often than vehicles in any other category. The best lease deals are for Lexus car, Mercedes car, Porsche car, Land Rover car, and BMW car, with the highest future resale values, or residual values, relative to their original cost. A high residual value creates a low monthly lease payment.

In fact, a better lease deal can often be obtained by leasing a high-residual luxury car than by leasing a car with a lower residual value, even though the price of the luxury car is the same or greater. This is the reason smart automotive consumers tend to lease a luxury vehicle. Being smart about money is a typical characteristic of high-end car leasers. High-line leasing consumers are not trying to save a few bucks — they have the money to buy the car they want. They simply know that it’s not smart to put money into depreciating assets (automobiles) when that money could be used for more productive purposes.

Independent lease companies and luxury cars :
More than 20% of luxury automobile consumers finance their loans and leases outside of car dealerships. Independent lease companies such as Primelease can, in most cases, beat luxury car dealers on prices and lease rates because high-end manufacturers don’t subsidize deals and offer incentives nearly to the extent that low-mid-range vehicle manufacturers do. Furthermore, luxury car dealers don’t like to be viewed as “discounters.”

Finance companies who lease luxury cars typically require their clients to have “prime” credit ratings. Lower credit scores can mean higher lease rates, large down payments, and security deposits — and possibly higher insurance rates. For high-line vehicle leases an independent lease company can be more flexible and responsive to customers’ needs than dealers, who are restrained by car manufacturers’ rules. For example, when new models come out and are limited in dealers’ inventories, independent lease companies can search the entire country for the exact car you want.

Benefits of leasing luxury cars :
People who lease high-line cars like the convenience of a quick easy business transaction, like having a new style car every two or three years, like avoiding maintenace and repair headaches, and like avoiding disposing of used cars. They also like the option of minimizing cash outlay.

In summary, luxury car leasing is different, the people who lease luxury cars are different, and the companies who lease luxury cars are different.

While investing on a new product one has to be very careful. And if you are investing on a car, then there are plenty of things to be taken care. Never do your purchase in a hurry. Take your time as it is the one big time investment. First and foremost thing is have a clear picture of the vehicle you want to own. That is what kind of body type you are looking for-a small car, hatchback car or an SUV car?

If you have a small family and you want to drive only in city then the best option is small cars or a hatchback cars. But again you travel off-road a lot but still like to carry more than 2 passengers, go for the SUV and if you’re filthy rich person and can afford a good sum of money for maintenance then luxury cars are the best and posh too.

Choosing colour. It is completely personal choice but if you ask me it is always better to go for the lighter colored that will be perfect for the Indian climate is hot most of the time and you can stay cooler in your car. Besides the light colours are easy to clean, where as white and black is the worst while tan, silver and brown hide dirt quite well.

How will like your car interiors to be- there is lot to done in this sector. You can completely customize it according to your taste. From floor mats to the music system everything can be changed. And if you are a very particular about the music then premium sound system might be a great idea if you do, however if you only listen to talk radio then the standard system will be more than enough.

Another important thing is that it is always better to check the insurance rates before you start car buying quest. Every car manufacturers will have different format and rate of interest. Also check on which is nearest service station you have. It is always better to have a car dealer close by and also time saving.

Sometimes when people want to buy a good pre-owned car for a low price they go to government-sponsored automobile auctions. Because the government is not allowed to make a profit on the cars it auctions off, there are plenty of opportunities for people to find incredible deals at government car auctions.

Most of the cars sold at government auctions have been seized from people who for one reason or another were unable to make payments on their cars. Other automobiles that are sold at government auctions come from people who failed to pay their income tax or other taxes and do not have the cash to pay the government what is owed. The government then liquidates part of the tax cheat’s estate and takes possession of items such as cars. A third way cars come to government auctions is if they belong to a criminal and are taken by the government as a result of a criminal procedure. Sometimes the automobiles sold at government-sponsored car auctions are old fleet cars that were used by the various branches of government.

With the exception of the government fleet cars, it is often difficult to ascertain information regarding the history or a car being sold at a government auction. Often, there is no way a person can find out who owned the car before it was seized, why the car was seized and is now in the hands of the government, and what the maintenance record on the car is.
In the days and weeks leading up to some government-sponsored car auctions, customers are allowed to examine the cars, trucks, SUVs and automobiles that will be sold at the auction. However, other government-sponsored automobile auctions where seized and repossessed vehicles are sold do not let people examine the cars closely before they are sold.

Car dealers often send representatives to government auctions in order to buy pre-owned cars at low prices. These auto dealerships will then usually sell the cars they buy at car auctions for prices much higher than those they paid for the vehicles.

Like all auctions, customers at government-sponsored automobile auctions must place bids on how much they are willing to pay for the car on the auction block. Whoever makes the highest bid for a car sold at a car auction gets the car. While it is next to impossible to get an automobile loan for the exact amount one pays for a car at a government-sponsored vehicle auction, it is possible to get a loan for a specified amount before one heads off to the auction.
