When getting advice to buy a car, people will always hear, “Just haggle with your car dealer!” That’s easier said than done and during the affair, many people find that their buying process becomes prolonged and much more complicated than they originally thought it would be. This means that for those who hate negotiating and just want to buy a car as quickly as possible, haggling can actually prevent them from going to certain dealerships.
Dealerships that offer no-haggle pricing, or fixed prices, have many benefits that are tailored just for customers. While all of them are our favorites, below are some of the best ones for you to remember before you go to visit dealerships near you.
What are the Benefits of No-Haggle Pricing?
No-Haggle Pricing Promotes Transparency
Price transparency has become increasingly important, especially during the age of technology. That means that customers are able research and immediately know how much a car is truly worth compared to a dealer’s stated price.
By having no-haggle pricing, customers can be sure that the price they see is what they will get. They won’t have to worry about any bait-and-switch techniques or prices going up and down depending on what they find within their potential car. Everything that was discovered should be documented by a dealership, so they can also provide you with more information of how a certain price stands.
Focus Only on Negotiating Finance Options
While a vehicle may come with one fixed price, that doesn’t mean you should take just any financing offer your dealership will give you! By having no-haggle pricing, you can focus all of your energy on negotiating a great monthly cost, a trade-in if you have one, extended warranties, and other extras that will benefit your wallet in the long run.
If you know that your potential car will be a fixed price, you’ll want to prepare for these discussions beforehand so you can be sure that you’re getting the best deal. Do your research and don’t be afraid to bring documentation with you so your dealer knows precisely what finance plan you’d want and if they can provide you with something as close to that as they can before you finalize the sale.
Prepare Your Budgeting Early
Even if you aren’t sure of your financing options, knowing the exact fixed price of a car will allow you to prepare your budget for a new addition early on. You’ll be able to see if you can afford the specific car you want, and how any minor changes like monthly payments or warranties might affect your numbers. This will save you from spending extra time or having disappointments once you get to a dealership.
Spend Less Time at the Dealer
A major car dealership turn-off for consumers is the big chunk of time they might have spend on the car buying process. Having fixed prices allows dealers and customers to not have to worry about the car so they can quickly get through all of the smaller details.
