Car Buying Myths Debunked at San Tan Ford

The automotive industry has evolved rapidly in recent years, but some car buying myths have still stuck around. Here at San Tan Ford, we sell a wide selection of new and pre-owned Ford vehicles. Over the years, we've heard customers repeat all sorts of misinformation about the best way to get a good deal on a car. Fortunately, we're here to dispel those myths for you.

 

Car-buying Myths

Everyone thinks that they know the best way to save on a new Ford F-150 or Ford Expedition near Chandler, AZ. In reality, some of these old tricks won't accomplish anything aside from making a salesperson sigh. One common misconception is that you should hide your trade-in—wait until you're just about ready to buy the car, and then let your Ford dealer know that you actually have a car to trade in. You'll get a better price, right? Wrong. Every dealer has heard of this trick, and there's no reason to spring your trade-in on someone at the end of a transaction.

Another car buying myth is that paying cash will get you a better price. There's really no motivation for a dealer to lower the price just because you're paying with cash. Other drivers think that they should wait until the end of the month to purchase their vehicle. Dealerships have monthly sales goals, so they'll be in a big rush to sell you a car at a great price, right? This isn't necessarily true, and you may be able to get a deal that's just as good on the first as you could on the 30th. If you're shopping for a car here in the Chandler, AZ area, don't pay too much attention to these common myths.
