Be a Smart Car Shopper With These Tips from Amica
Lincoln, RI (PRWEB) February 11, 2014 -- Buying a new or used car is exciting, but there are many details to consider before making a purchase. That’s why Amica Insurance is sharing some tips that will lead to a positive car-buying experience.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, car buyers should follow these four tips:
• Do research. Compare models and prices in ads and at dealerships to search for the best possible car at an affordable price.
• Be prepared to negotiate price, as dealers may be willing to bargain. Doing so can save money, whether paying cash or financing the car.
• Compare financing offered by lenders to what is offered by the dealer. Since offers vary, search for the best deal.
• Don’t settle. If you don’t find a good fit on the dealer’s lot, consider ordering a new car. Although it may take longer, you’ll be more satisfied with a vehicle that has all the right features and options.
Additionally, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported some key features to look for when assessing the safety of a vehicle. Larger, heavier cars typically offer more protection than smaller, lighter ones. To reduce the risk of death or injury, look for a vehicle with a tested, crashworthy design.
