I love learning new aspects of car shopping and I pretty much got schooled when I bought our most recent vehicle. The more I shop, the more I learn and shopping is the best education any consumer can take on.
Compare dealerships, compare what they are saying, what they are offering and then figure out what dealership is really working hardest for your patronage. The dealership that will win your business will be the dealership that offers incentives not only on vehicles but on helping you with your current car while looking for a new one.
My belief is that if a dealership has all their ducks in a row, then they are ready and waiting to help you get back on the road faster and easier because they are reliable and trustworthy and want their customers to be happy. So today let’s learn what a hassle-free vehicle purchase experience looks like.
Hassle-Free Vehicle Purchase Experience
Roll your eyes as you may, but when you purchase a new or used vehicle, you want the process to be easy to navigate and your time becomes your biggest asset. Here’s what I know. There is, in fact, a hassle-free vehicle purchase experience that exists and you need to ask your car dealership if they have anything that resembles this model of hassle-free vehicle purchasing BEFORE you start negotiating or walking their lot.
THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT
Here’s where your new destiny begins. You take your car to your local dealership for service. Thoughts are running through your head that you may want to consider a new vehicle, so what if you can get your current vehicle appraised while you wait? After all, time is money, right? Your time is as valuable as the cash investment you will put into this car, so let’s make it happen.
The XCHANGE Experience
Here is what the XCHANGE experience looks like and if your is any different do not work with the dealership because this model is ideal! While you sit and wait for your car to get serviced, you are able to get quick pricing and payment quotes for the vehicle you might want.
Additionally, your vehicle that is being serviced can be appraised at the same time, so no need to come back. Shortly you will learn appraisal value and you can compare that against what the new car cost will be.
Get ready, because this next part is mind-blowing. To shop efficiently and make it the truest ‘One-Stop Shopping Experience’ ever, the dealership hands you a list of current incentives and payment options for the New/Certified and Pre-Owned vehicles of your dreams.
Your Current Vehicle
Now for more great news for you. What if you did not have to make phone calls, or pull your hair out looking for the payoff papers or the phone number to find the payoff amount? The dealer does this legwork for you even if you did not purchase your car there?
Suddenly, the blurry vision of new car ownership becomes crystal clear because all of your ducks are in a row. You know your cost of service for today, you know that you would prefer to buy a new car and you have all of the pricing options and incentives in front of you to make a good decision.
Increasing the focus is the amount of payoff on your current vehicle and all you did was go to the dealership to have your car serviced. Easy, Peasy!
