So the time has come to get your new car, and you are faced with the daunting task of dealing with multiple dealers. Surely, this is the least favorite thing about getting a new car that most buyers face. It can be a frustrating and time consuming process, that most consumers find less than pleasant. The good news is that is does not have to be that way. There are plenty of sources to help you find the car of your dreams, and get a great price on it.
However, before we go searching for a price on the vehicle we are looking for we must first decide exactly what we want. This is not always easy and we have to take in to account budget, lifestyle, wants, and a host of other things. I suggest going to the manufacturers website to build and price a vehicle. All manufacturers have this feature on their websites. The feature allows you to customize the car or truck to your needs and get the MSRP ( Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) for the vehicle. This gives you the opportunity to truly decide what is important to you in your new car. You can add and delete items if you feel like it is in your budget, or something you can live without due to price concerns.
Once you have taken this step, now is the time to go price hunting for your new car. Online price quotes are the easiest way to get a price on the vehicle of your dreams, and you can do this from the comfort of your home in minutes. It is important when you submit for a quote that you specify the model, options, trim level, and any other details that are important to get an accurate quote. You must be perfectly clear on what you want in the quote. This will go a long in helping to avoid any confusion or delays.
As I stated earlier, there are several sources to help you get some great pricing on your next vehicle. Here are some of the more well known and trusted names in the business.
Edmunds.com®
Edmunds.com® has been around a very long time, and is one of the first names that comes to mind when it comes to car buying help. They have a well respected name and a useful website to help you with all your car buying needs. The price quotes are free with no obligation. The company’s no haggling and instant savings Price Promise® ensures you are getting the best price available including all incentives and special offers from local dealers.
TRUECar.com
This is a relative newcomer but is quickly making a name for itself. The brand name is quickly spreading due in large part to a heavy TV ad campaign. It is one of the fasting growing companies in this segment and continues to gain market share. They tout a hassle free buying experience that ensures that you never pay too much for your new car.
KelleyBlueBook.com
KelleyBlueBook® is also a very trusted name in the business of helping consumers buy and sell cars. They are known for helping consumers with determining trade and private party values for their current vehicles. However, they also have a free price quote feature on the site to help you get a great deal on a new car or truck.
CarsDirect.com
This ia also a relative newcomer, but it is quickly establishing itself as a leader in the marketplace. CarDirect® advertises a no haggle, no hassle campaign to help consumers feel confident that they did not overpay for their new car . They allow buyers to build, price, and purchase vehicles. When it comes to buying, this can be done directly through a dedicated CarsDirect specialist, or they will put you in direct contact with the internet department of a dealership.
With all of these trusted resources, you should feel confident that you are getting a fair price on your next car or truck. These companies partner with your local dealers to help provide you with a low pressure, time efficient, and pleasant car buying experience. I recommend using them all to get the widest reach possible. They are all free and easy to use, so you can get the maximum number of quotes to compare by submitting to all of them.
