Considering upgrading your vehicle? With these tips and tricks, you can get the best deal on your new ride!

Trade-In Your Current Vehicle
Once you find your next vehicle, you will no longer need the one you have. You can trade in your current vehicle to lower the cost of your new one. You can contact our dealership ahead of time to find out how much they will offer you, or ask when you stop in! Depending on how much your vehicle is worth, it could significantly lower the cost of your new one.
Be sure to maximize your trade-in by cleaning it up and making sure it’s up to date on routine maintenance tasks. The dealership is likely to offer you more if it doesn’t require a lot of deep cleaning or repairs.

Spend Some Time Researching
Even if you already know the type or model of vehicle you want to upgrade to, it’s worth doing some research ahead of time. Find out what features you want, as well as what year of vehicle. These are important considerations that can have a big impact on the cost of your vehicle. Researching ahead of time can also help you get an idea of the demand for the vehicle you want.
You might also research the pros and cons of buying new versus used. There are a lot of considerations with both choices, so it’s important to decide which option is best for you before you start shopping.
-
Take Advantage of Incentives
Incentives are another good way to save on your new upgrade. These are incentives that come right from the manufacturer. This might include things like no interest for a specified period of time or a set amount off of your purchase price if you’re a loyal customer. The incentives and their requirements are always changing, so it is best to check what is available at the time you want to buy.
Some of these incentives may also be applicable on a lease. This means that you can choose a lease and enjoy lower monthly payments, depending on current offers.

Price Shop
Collecting the prices for vehicles is easier than ever today with most dealerships posting this information online. This gives you the opportunity to find out how much you can expect to pay for your upgrade. It also gives you the power to negotiate when you visit the dealership. In addition to comparing prices between vehicles, be sure to look at things like included features and the number of miles.
Also, know the costs that go into buying a new vehicle. You’ll want to consider any add-ons that the dealership might offer. One dealership might charge a slightly higher price for a vehicle that you want, but in return, offer a warranty and free maintenance for a year, which could calculate to it being a better deal.
Prepare and maximize your trade-in, do your research and determine what incentives may currently be available, and compare prices between dealerships as you prepare to shop for your upgrade! Use these tips to buy your next vehicle with confidence, knowing that you got the best deal.
