DEALERS COMPETE YOU WIN! sm

If your not using salesmaxcars.com's "Dealers Compete You Win! sm" service for your car search your crazy!

I interviewed by phone; calling on 100 car buyers from a 3rd party list, i was amazed by what i learned.

based on our sample market, 53% of those consumers still only negotiated with one dealer... ????

Turns out they spent hours looking at various sites for pricing, then they went to the nearest dealership and bought their car based on only one offer...??

They could not have possibly got the best deal, and gave themselves no way to know ....

I don't understand this except to say that the following reasons were given for the extra $750 - $1700.00 in cost they paid...

People let themselves feel funny about asking for a better price, and let themselves feel funny about walking out of the dealership once the so called best offer was made to them. They feel funny shopping that offer at another dealership.

When asked did you negotiate with the dealer?
many said;
I felt funny asking for a better deal, I felt like it was coming out of the sales persons commission, I did not want them to think i was cheap. The best one was "I did not want make a scene"

PEOPLE.... ITS YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! YOUR DESERVE THE BEST POSSIBLE DEAL, BELIEVE IT!

It don't take guts to walk out, it takes Brain's! Before letting you leave, they may try another offer to keep you as a customer...

Beware of the waiting room tactic - Time can be used as pressure by the sales team, the longer it takes, the longer your there at the dealership, the more likely your gonna buy from them. They want to wear you down, typically when dealing with consumers who are hundreds of dollars away for where they had planned on being on a monthly payment.

Also you have to be real as well;

You have to know where you stand with your credit score, and be honest with yourself.

Don't Get Confused between Need and Want! its the difference between affordable and bankrupt.

Be prepared to live with your choice.

So its important to ask the dealer "ONLY IN THE LAST MINUNTE BEFORE LEAVING"

Is this your best offer?

Then wait for the answer without another word from you.... say nothing till you get the answer!

DONT BE SMUG !!! DONT SAY YOUR SHOPPING THE OFFER, JUST SAY; I WILL BE BACK ...NOTHING MORE!

No matter what they say... say thank you and walk out and drive to the next dealership with that offer.

you don't want to be a smart ass by telling them your going to the next dealer they already know...

You may be coming back so be nice! but stick to the plan.

SalesMaxCars.com has made this so easy for Consumers.

How do you get some leverage? This service gives you leverage you don't have, going dealership to dealership! saves all that gas as well!

1st sycologically the sales rep is calling you, instead of you calling them or walking in to the dealership cold.

The sales rep already knows you are an Internet shopper, who has done their homework...

Using Sales Max Cars . com, Takes it to a higher level of pressure on the dealership. The Dealership instantly knows when we contact them for you, they are competing for your business with up to four other dealers. They need to sell those cars. They have factory quotas and additional bonuses and better allocations ( choices for consumers) on their lot when they make the quotas. When they sell more cars then their previous average and the market average the dealership is rewarded by the factory.

The Dealer wants to sell the cars on his lot. So what if the Dealer don't have what you want on the lot ?
You're driving around for nothing!

The concierge Team at Sales Max Cars takes care of this for you. The nearest four dealers are contacted for you free. The dealers then start the offer process first seeing if they have your desired vehicle on the lot, if not they are out of the bidding... concierge team will then go to the next closest dealer of your desired vehicle
all the offers are made to you directly from each dealership... its so simple and easy to use and know that you have the best possible deal you can get... whats better then that ???

SalesMaxCars.com receives no commissions from the dealerships on your purchase!

$750.00 can buy just under 15 tank fulls of fuel at 16 gallons tank @ $3.20 per gallon = 14.6 fill ups

IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING TO BUY A NEW CAR, NOW IS THE TIME!


0% factory dealer incentives are back for those who qualify!

Hey that's a free loan...and it can be worth $1000's in savings.

I am one of those who likes buying cars with cash from equity from my home making the interest tax deductible, 0% interest beats that.

An Auto loan of $29,500 4 year term @7% interest = $4,407.88 in interest

total loan amount with zero down $33,907.88

monthly payments on that would be $706.41...

now lets look at 0% loan $29,500 4 years @ 0% , monthly payment = $614.59

That leaves you $91.82 a month for gas ...or $1101.84 a year more in your pocket for 4 years.

Again get a Handel on your credit score... apply for 0% interest credit cards and disperse your higher balances across all your accounts making sure you are 45% of your line under a max 50% of your credit lines.

This will elevate your FICO score...higher score better deals you will qualify for. Plan a head, get your credit score. Apply for 0% interest cards, spread out debt and you'll be in a much better financial situation, deserving the o% Dealer factory offers and rebate incentives..

Car Buyers Don't Be Fooled - Do The Math


If you'd like to obtain lowest prices on a new car, avoid all the sales pressure at the dealership, then you need to understand the following information.
Learn one of the dealers most hidden secrets...

True Dealer Cost, is NOT the invoice price!


Dealer invoice prices are often thousands of dollars above actual cost...Dealer prices are full of hidden profits that are often times not passed on to the customer.
Everywhere on the Internet, You Can Find "How to buy at $500 or $1000 over dealer invoice" - DONT EVER PAY FOR THIS INFORMATION IT'S BOGUS.

Two Reasons NOT to buy at or near dealer invoice:
1) Dealer invoices usually have up to two to three percent holdback, that is usually reserved for fleet buyers. The public is not made aware of this inflation.
2) The manufacturer also offers rebates and delivery allowances in the range of a few hundred to thousands of dollars... this is supposed to be subtracted off the price - these can easily be hidden or not mentioned to the consumer by a dealer.

Combining the hidden holdback with rebates offered by the Factories, there can be a difference of $2000 or $3000 between the invoice price and actual dealer cost.
When you buy a vehicle at invoice prices - with a $3000 difference - the dealer makes $3000 on the vehicle. Many dealers will easily settle for a $1500 to $2500 profit. If they do you will be well below dealer invoice!

So be aware of hidden savings and use http://www.salesmaxcars.com/ free service get Dealers Competing . Get price quotes from their vast network of 54,700 dealers located throughout every town in America. This knowledge can put money into your pocket - not the dealers.

Get dealer invoice prices and incentives ahead of time - You can easily figure out the true dealer cost of a vehicle by using the formula below.

Part 1. ) Dealer Invoice + Destination Charge + Options - Holdback = True Dealer Cost
Part 2. )True Dealer Cost + taxes/Licensing - Rebate = Your on the road price.
With the cost of a vehicle you know where you stand. You can then figure out what a dealer is making on your sale.

The Dealers in the http://www.salesmaxcars.com/ network already know , that you are an educated consumer and will automatically make their best offers.

Leverage Pricing Saves You Money.

The Average Car Buyer Will Spend 5 Hours Researching Vehicles Online


Wow that's quite a bit of time, 5 hours researching car prices. A few cups of coffee as well...I bet.

You can research for 100 hours or more...
But if you don't make contact, and get real offers from local dealers, you'll never have a real price to shop around with.

You need a real number from a dealer and a bank to shop with, or your wasting your time. The other car sites are great to see the models and features, but the pricing on them are just estimates and can get you frustrated.

Nothing works better then shopping a real dealer with offers from another dealer. Now you're able to get competing offers and ultimately your best deal started in less the 60 seconds. Why Drive to 4 dealerships and walk in blind?

Until the banks come back with financing numbers for you, based on your personal FICO score and down payment, and the dealer figures out what they need to do; to make the deal work for them and you based on the banks feed back and funding offer; (notice they were first there - NOT an Accident)- its all just and exercise in learning. Without true offers you have nothing to shop with as leverage.

So spend some time researching, but don't hesitate to jump in and get 4 car dealers making you offers.

5 hours is a lot of time to spend on-line car searching. I would like to make the time you spend fruitful...
More then 5 hours researching is over-kill. Unless you have no idea what it is you want to drive, or do you just like looking at cars...??

My goal and the goal of Salesmax Worldwide is to help people like you. So get informed and get the best possible deal on the vehicle you want to drive.

Just a reminder our services are completely free, as we are advertising supported.

PLEASE VISIT OUR ADVERTISERS keep our services FREE!!!

Ask yourself some questions, Start with:

What do you want? Want do you need? What can you afford to spend?

Is it safe? Is it comfortable? Is it affordable to run and maintain?


Some of our customers who use our service; Dealers Compete You Win!sm have asked our Concierge team
"Do the dealers have to contact me by phone?" The answer is YES!

You must speak with sales people; to get a feel for which dealership is willing to work to get you as a customer.

If you're truly in the market to buy a vehicle, then you need to communicate your needs and then get feed back from the dealers on your choice.

Like good food, simple is always better!

DON'T RUSH THE TEST DRIVE!


Take a test drive, and really drive.

Get a highway and local road feel for the vehicle.

Take your time!

Don't worry about the sales person, it's your time and your money !

If you commute, or if you're tall like me; its especially important to try everything from the drivers seat.

Its hard to find everything; even with the sales person with you...

So have the sales person spend a few extra minutes going over the position of everything in the car before your test drive.

Get in and out at least 5 or 6 times... hows the back? Can you reach everything? Change radio stations, open close all windows do this all while driving as well. See if your right knee has enough room to re-adjust during long drives.

In the mid 90's I had a Jeep which I loved, but on long drives my right knee would burn with pain, and actually get numb... till I had to give in with a whimper and ask my wife to drive.

I went large to the suburban after that for the extra cabin room.

hey you'll be driving your choice for 2 to 6 years, so do your homework, get competing offers, take an extensive test drive of each of your choices.

You'll be happy you did, or angry you didnt!!!

Happy Shopping!
