Saving thousands when buying a new car

Mark Fitzpatrick | July 16, 2018

Here are a few tips to help you get started. 

Timing - the time of the year can be a massive factor in how much (or how little) you pay for your car. Buying towards the end of the financial year could secure yourself a very nice deal and December is when manufacturers tend to push dealers to sell that year’s model before the calendar year ends. 

So think December and June for maximum savings.

Search – search for the best finance option or work with a finance broker. A finance broker can help you save money as you may well be able to cut down on costs straight away by avoiding dealer finance which is often overpriced and has unfavourable terms. 

Ask – don’t forget to ask about demo models. Demonstration models are the cars people take for a test drive, so they have clicked over a few kilometres and have spent a bit of time in the showroom. They are always tricked out with all the very best features, but at some point, the dealer will need to get rid of their demo model and bring in a new one. 

I hope these tips are helpful as they can really help you save thousands of dollars/
