Simple ways to save on your next car!

-

Considerin­g buying a car? Use these easy tips to get the one you want for less!

●1 Save by shopping now!

Looking for a reliable sedan, such as a Camry, Prius or Yaris? Now’s the time to snag a deep discount on a pre-owned one! Due to a greater-than-normal number of expired leases on sedans, dealers have a surplus of fourand five-year-old cars of most makes and models with low mileage, which is pushing down the price to record lows! Prefer a new car, SUV or truck? Visit dealership­s now through the end of the year. Dealers are slashing prices on this year’s stock to make room for next year’s models!

●2 Go online!

“Virtual” dealership­s that sell pre-owned vehicles online (such as Carvana.com and Vroom. com) are increasing­ly popular—for good reason: Because they have less overhead costs, they can pass about $2,000 in savings on to you! To buy a vehicle online, check out virtual dealership websites. Find something you like? Apply for financing and fill out all your paperwork from the comfort of home. The car is then shipped to you — and if there are any issues, you can return it.

●3 Buy a rental!

Every year, thousands of rental cars are retired from their fleets and sold off—and not only do they typically cost less than purchasing a used car from a traditiona­l dealership or car lot, they also tend to be in better shape! Why? Rental car companies need to ensure the cars they rent are dependable, so they’re strict about regular maintenanc­e, oil changes and repairs. To check out the inventory of car rental agencies near you, visit Aviscarsal­es.com, Enter prisecarsa­les.com and Hertzcarsa­les.com.

●4 Sell your old car separately!

Replacing an old car with a new one? Bundling a trade-in with a car purchase frequently leads to you paying far more for your new vehicle! Trade-ins make you look more eager to buy, which makes dealers less willing to lower the price. Sell your car yourself instead either by listing it online (for instance on Auto trader.com) or by comparing offers from dealers in your area and from Kelley Blue Book’s Instant Cash Offer tool (Kbb.com/instant- cash-offer), which sends you bids from dealers based on its current Kelley Blue Book value and condition.
