Prepare Yourself . . . .

Let us assist you in preparing for your purchase, how to structure the buy, how to price the vehicle you want, and how to negotiate the whole package in an easy to understand format.

If you are reading this, we can guarantee that you will save a lot of money on your next purchase or lease.

Being prepared means having your financing taken care of beforehand. Obtain your own free credit report before open the dealership door.

First, compare interest rates, and methods of loan payment with respect to interest and principal. Note that most banks and credit unions give a simple interest rate, or APR (Annual Percentage Rate), which is the yearly interest on the declining balance.

Second, being prepared means knowing exactly what you want. You shouldn't be too open to suggestion when you walk into a dealer to avoid getting what you don't want. You should thoroughly research the vehicle of your choice including the make, model, and its options. Find out what the experts think about your choice of vehicles. See what vehicles are in demand and which vehicles aren't. Notice if your particular dealer has your vehicle in stock.

Finally, if you have a vehicle to trade in, you have to know what your trade-in is worth. This is probably the hardest part of putting your deal together. How do you evaluate your old vehicle? Here's how we do it.

First, price your old car in the current issue of NADA Used Car Prices or Kelley Blue Book, these sites are fair and offer your retail but never wholesale pricing. Wholesale pricing is a dealer secret. Contact WheelsDirect2U.com for current wholesale pricing. By knowing exactly what your trade-in is worth will go a long way towards getting a much better car deal.

Second, try selling your vehicle in the local newspaper. Stress the great features and condition (fairly) of your vehicle and price it competitively.

If you decide to sell your vehicle on your own, you'll make hundreds of dollars more than you would get by trading your vehicle in at a dealership. There are hundreds if not thousands of online classified sites such as WheelsDirect2U.com free ad submission service.
