FAQs

How to negotiate & lower your car loan repayments?

The key to any negotiation is arming yourself with as much information as possible. The more knowledge you possess, the more control of the negotiation you'll have. Because you did your research, have a max budget, know your ideal car, researched average prices in the area and gathered an accurate monthly payment calculation, you'll have the leverage with any dealer.

Before you head to the dealership, consider the time of the year, month or week. In fact, research shows that dealers drop prices early in the week, end of the month or quarter, on holidays, or at the end of the model year. Showing up on the dealer lot on a specific day can potentially save you thousands.

When negotiating with a dealer, you should always ask for the total, out-the-door cost. This is the final price of the car plus additional tax, title and license plate fees associated with each vehicle on the lot. Let this price serve as a starting point for negotiations.

All sales reps should be happy to provide any and all information. If they hesistate, you should find another dealership or sales rep to work with. Always know that you have the upper hand. Undoubtedly, there are similar cars at dealers nearby. Therefore, don't be afraid to step off the lot. If the salesperson is quoting prices much higher than your research or refuses to answer simple questions about the car or loan, walk away.
