Want To Buy A Brand New Vehicle Off The Lot? What To Know First

Posted on

If you have decided that you want to buy a brand new vehicle that has never been driven before, you'll have to find a dealership that carries the manufacturer and model you want in your area. Not all dealerships will have access to brand new vehicles, or to the color and model that you want. Here are a few things you'll want to do before you put any money down, and before you settle on a vehicle to buy.

Compare Sticker Rates at Other Dealerships

When you find a brand new vehicle that you want for sale, the sticker price is going to reflect the markup by the dealership. Price out the vehicle online through the manufacturer to see what the manufacturer website says the vehicle should cost, and then see what the other local dealerships are charging. This is one of the easiest ways to see if you are getting overcharged for the vehicle.

Consider the Long Term Investment

Purchasing a vehicle that is brand new should be considered an investment. If you are going to spend the money to get a brand new model, you'll want to make sure the vehicle is something that you'll want to drive for years into the future. Take into consideration potential job or family changes that may affect what type of vehicle you need to drive.

See if There are Returned Leases

If you really like a specific model of car but you aren't sure if you want to spend the money on something that is brand new, or that you want that model for years, look at options that have just come off lease. This is a way you can get a vehicle that is only a year or two old, but you can get it at a low cost. This could end up being a better buy for your situation. You won't be taking as big of a risk if you don't like the vehicle, or have as much money invested if you want to get rid of it.

Driving a new vehicle that doesn't have any miles on it can be a great way to get a vehicle that is under warranty and reliable, and that you can depend on over time. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle that has no previous owners, find the nearest brand new car dealerships in your area and start comparing the prices.
