What you really need is some 'insider information'. Someone in the know, who's going to tell you just where the bargains are, and how to get them. Now a former dealer with 23 years of experience breaks the code of silence, and tells you how to save a fortune the next time you want to buy a car. Knowing the right time to buy a car can be worth hundred, possible even thousands of pounds, because four times a year, like clockwork, almost every manufacturer gets desperate for business. The last week of March, June, September and December they all fight to get a higher placing on the published lists of best selling cars, and give hundreds or even thousands of pounds extra - buy that week and you bag a bargain! The easiest saving that you'll make when you visit a main dealer is to ask what company cars they have for sale. One of the perks of a job a car salesman gets is a company demonstrator. But when a new model or reg plate is out, the salesman will sell their own car for next to nothing to get a new one themselves! When manufacturers put bonuses on to get more registrations, some dealers will register 10, 20 or even more of these cars in their own name to hit targets. Then they'll offer these 'pre-registered' cars at knock down prices to clear their stock before starting the game all over again, The cars are brand new and haven't moved an inch - but they could be two or three thousands pounds cheaper than list price. Apart from the obvious 0% finance offers that you see, normal dealer rate are usually lower than the bank to start off with, but you'll find that they're also prepared to reduce their rates if you just ask. And for every 1,000 you borrow, a 1% reduction in interest rate could save you as much as 50 - on a 10,000 car you're another 500 in front - just for asking for a lower rate of interest! Most people when they buy a new car have one to put in part exchange, but very few people get the best price for it, even though you already know how - you just don't know that you know it. When you go to buy a car, you expect it to be clean, smelling nice, without any scuffs or scratches, right? Well if your car is clean, smelling nice and well polished a dealer will fall for your car the same way that you fall for theirs - just make it look the best you can, and you'll get the best offers! Don't just stick to new cars either. You can save a fortune buying something that is six months old with four or five thousand miles on the clock. There's an entire industry built around this - it's called remarketing. Essentially, the giant rental companies like Hertz and Avis sell their six month old cars to dealers through either existing ties or 'closed auctions'. These cars are cheap because of the huge discount they get from car manufacturers for buying in bulk - sometimes thousands of cars at a time. They run them for a short while, then sell them at a profit to dealers, and it's here that you can save really big money, because these cars really are as good as new, with long manufacturers warranties and in tip top condition.
