Picking the right car dealer
An anonymous reader asks:
OK, you've done your homework and picked out what you want and expect from your next car purchase. But how do you decide which car dealership (or even which salesperson) is right for you?
Cory Answers:
I like this question! Because this is a question that does not really require research, due diligence or any hard work. It requires simply your gut.
This is something that you won’t be able to truly determine until you visit the stores. The only research that could be done ahead of time is to check with the Better Business Bureau for the dealerships on your list.
Some people would tell you to also check online reviews and those are fine, but remember, they are unfiltered and usually only people that are disgruntled tend to take the time to post. Your best read on this is yourself; if you are comfortable with your experience then you will be in good shape.
If you do not feel good about your experience, then I would recommend to you not to buy the vehicle from that dealership or salesperson, because if you have a problem you will have to work with those same people again.
Plus, when you are parting with the sum of money it takes to buy a vehicle, you should be happy with the whole experience. If the vehicle, salesperson, manager, finance person and dealership are to your liking then go for it. If one or more of these aspects concern you, then I would move on. Remember, you have the power to choose.
