Buying a new car can be challenging for people who are facing some credit problems. Part of the challenge is getting approved, but another challenge that can be even more difficult to overcome is getting through the sales process of many car dealerships.
If you have bad credit and are planning to buy a car, it is better to take things slowly and carefully. Do not hastily sign anything instead you should be objective and read everything with care. Take a pocket calculator with you to the dealership. When they offer you a payment amount for a certain number of months, multiply the two to see what you're really going to end up paying for that vehicle.
Just because you have credit problems, you don't have to feel powerless to negotiate the terms or the price of the car you wish to purchase. Do not accept the offer if you feel that the interest rate or price is not a fair deal for you. Furthermore, it would still be good to ask for a discount even if the terms are acceptable. Here are a few tips that will surely give you an edge at bargaining time.
The car looks good and the price is affordable, but buying the car at that price is not a really smart move. The total of payments equals XYZ and I don't think that you would think I was very smart if I said I wanted that car at that price. Slash the price down to $1000 less and I'd sure make a smarter decision to buy the car.
I don't think I can agree to the price of this car though it sure looks nice and affordable. I believe you have regular expenses here such as light bills, taxes, etc and so do I. I would be glad to help you earn some money from selling me this car if you help me get some discount on this car deal.
I generally do not buy something that has an unreasonable price. Thanks for the offer but it is not fair enough to me. Yes, I have credit problems and part of that is because I've had more bills than I've had income. And I don't want to add more to my headache by buying something that is unreasonably high. I thought you can help me save some money, could you give me a discount?
Try to use some of the suggestions above to get some discount on your car purchase. Use them as you wish and hopefully they will give you some ideas. Bad credit auto financing is easy if you know where to go and what to do.
