Question:
How do you choose an auto broker in Houston, Texas?
Answers:
Is there such a thing as an honest car salesman?
Brokers are simply independent sales people who are not connected to a particular dealership. They have access to all makes of cars. If you use a broker and you want to buy a BMW for instance he will find the one you want, then buy it from the dealer for wholesale value. and then sell it to you for the retail price. they just do the leg work for you. and if you need financing they can arrange that. Our dealership would sell trade ins to the brokers if they were luxury high end cars that were not our make. we would sell him a BMW for instance because it would make our cars less appealing. (CHEV/OLDS) They are not more expensive or cheaper either. They start off at the same point as any dealer. and try to make as much as possible. Why not call a local dealership and ask if they can recommend any one, they know which ones are not crooks. Just remember he is simply a middle man. So the dealer makes money, the broker makes money. how much is up to you.How is the value of a salvaged vehicle determined?
no way why would you add to the cost of a car with such a needless service/occupationShould I buy a brand new car right now?
forget that.. thats just a way to lose some more money. just bargain as hard as you can while your shopping for new cars. Never accept their first deal, sit around, be skeptical or atleast pretend to be skeptical about every part of the deal offered, get the manager involved . Don't even buy the car until days later. Use the internet to find out how much the car your looking at is worth. Make sure you know how much your trade-in is worth by looking at Kelley Blue Book. tm. Don't worry about pissing off the salesman, they are a bunch of a-holes, I used to be one. Make sure the car you are about to buy is a good one through consumer reports, don't let the salesman make the decision for you. Shop around.Can anyone please help me with a free carfax report?
Hi people do use auto brokers or auto buyers to purchase a car for them . Yes they can get you a better price on your car purchase . They know the dealers and the dealers know them ..They work together to sell you . You get a little better price the dealer gets his sale and the broker gets his commision .All paided by you . Try this go to the dealers on Sunday no sales people . Decide on the make & model . Get consumer to do a print out on the car or cars of your choice . This shows list and dealer cost for every thing on the car.. Take the dealer cost add say 5 % or 7% to his cost . This is the price you start with . You will work up the dealer will work down from his price . More than not you will do what is called a split. Purchase some where in the middle of your price and the dealer price . You can also get a buying book to help . Take someone or a couple people with you . When the going gets tough have one person excuse their self .Go with them walk around the lot . come back fresh . If you don't like the price tell them . But have a counter offer . Work with your % increase it a little each time . If you don't get a good deal leave your phone # and walk . More than likely they will call if not there are other dealers. Don't talk trade till you make a deal on the purchase. This only gives the dealer the upper hand and more figures to deal with . Stay strong we are talking hundreds of dollars here . Good Luck you my enjoy it . I do .I need a little help in buying a car?
you have to be careful with auto brokers, many of them actually buy the car then sell it to you, meaning that the warranty is now less because you are the second owner. my advice is to find someone who used to sell cars and have them go with you to negotiate a price. also as a former car sales man i can say that 3-5% over invoice is a fair price for everyone. the sales guy makes money the dealership makes money and you are not paying sticker. and really i have to say that if you bring in the trade at the end like the other guy suggested more often than not you will be disappointed in the result. if you owe more for your trade than it is worth then the entire process you just went through is shot. what i mean is you agree to a payment and you agree to a price, then you bring in a trade in that is worth lets say ten grand and you owe 12 grand for it. guess what your payment just went up 50 bucks. consumers get all upset when car salesmen deceive them, and for good reason. doesnt it stand to reason that the salesman would get irritated by this deceit also? when i had customers that did that to me my response was always the same "Mr. Customer obviously you are looking for a good buy. So Goodbye!" i would then shake their hand and tell them to have a good day and inform them that i could not help them if they were not honest with me, as they expect me to be honest with them.More Questions & Answers ...
