Car buying tips: Reading the fine print could save you thousands
View printer friendly version
Before purchasing your next car, it’s important to watch out for hidden costs, add-on fees, and other charges. If you don’t, you could end up spending hundreds, even thousands, of dollars extra.
Most car buyers are so focused on either negotiating the most affordable monthly payment or getting the best interest rate that they don’t take the time to read the fine print. And, by the time they do get through the haggling and oftentimes lengthy negotiations, they’ve become so exhausted from the entire process they just want to sign on the dotted line and get it over with - especially if the sales rep or business office is throwing industry terms at them they don't fully understand.
Here are a few insider tips to make sure you don't regret signing those papers.
- Read the fine print
- Look out for undisclosed extras when reviewing your contract
- Watch out for documentation and administration fees
- Ask for full disclosure of the total price before you sign anything
- Keep in mind other costs outside of the dealership
