Factors to Consider Before You Buy a Car From a Dealer

If you are planning to buy a new or used Subaru, your first stop is likely to be your local car dealers. Car dealers can offer you a wide number of options, assistance with arranging your finance or insurance coverage and allow you to benefit from the latest Subaru special offers. However, before you walk into any old dealership, you need to recognise that not all dealers are the same and you should check that you choose the right dealership. While this prospect may seem a little overwhelming, there are actually several factors to consider and aid you in making your decision.

The Reputation of the Dealer:

It won’t matter about the Subaru special deals if you choose a dodgy dealer. For this reason, it is important to choose a dealership which has a good reputation within the industry and community. A quick check with the Better Business Bureau will allow you to see how the dealership is regarded. You can also ask friends and family for referrals or check on consumer websites and forums. This will allow you an insight into the reputation of the dealership for honesty, fairness and integrity.

The Prices Charged at the Dealership:

While everyone loves a bargain, it is important that you are realistic about the pricing at the dealership. If your potential dealership has Subaru special offers which seem a little too good to be true, it is worth being wary. Although Subaru has had a number of dramatic price reductions in recent months, if the dealership is offering excessive Subaru special deals, you need to ask why. Some dodgy dealers advertise dirt cheap pricing and either sell off duds or pile on the additional or extra charges when it comes to sign. A reputable dealer will have transparent pricing and be happy to explain the cost and benefits of any additional extras.

Dealership Special Offers:

In addition to the generous Subaru discounts, some dealerships often offer exclusive special offers. This can include extras such as free servicing, introductory interest free credit or fuel gift cards. These extras can reduce the running cost of your new vehicle, helping you to adjust to your new financial obligations. These types of offers can help to build a relationship with the dealership, allowing you to keep a regular maintenance and servicing schedule at the dealership. This can not only keep your Subaru running efficiently at optimum performance levels but could also help to maximise the resale value, helping you to sell your vehicle quicker and at a better price when it comes time to trade up to a newer model.
