Three Car Buying Myths
Generations of car dealership interactions have led to the development of many different tips, tricks, and myths related to buying cars. Car buying really just comes down to doing your research, test driving and being prepared to make a purchase when you find the car you want. In the internet age, you have easy access to all the information you need to make an informed buying decision, which means some of the old dealership myths no longer hold any weight. Be wary about the below three myths and just do your own research.
Myth #1 Dealerships are out to get you.
Successful car dealerships - and all successful businesses for that matter - remain successful because of great customer relations. Car dealerships that treat their customers poorly or try to trick customers won't be in business long, especially in the internet age. Our first priority as a dealership is to provide you with top automotive solutions, from automotive repair to helping you find the right car that fits your desires.
Myth #2 Kelley Blue Book is fact.
Kelley Blue Book is a good tool to use as a guide, but it should only be used as a guide. Trade-in value is based on year, model, mileage, conditioning and market demand. For a car dealership, demand is one of the biggest factors we consider. A good practice is to compare Kelley Blue Book numbers with local sales data of your vehicle to get an idea of what it is worth.
Myth #3 Extended warranties are rip-offs.
Extended warranties are an option. You don't have to buy them. We offer them because life happens. Unforeseen things can go wrong with even the best cared for vehicles and extended warranties can help when unforeseen things happen. You're paying for peace of mind with an extended warranty.
