A salesperson's insider guide to buying a car

You know with about 10 years in the car business. I can tell you a couple tips and tricks of buying a new car from your preferred dealer. 

I’ve found many prospects want the “lowest price” confusing it with the “best deal.” Generally, they haven’t done their homework or are in a hurry. You can be in control and get a great deal. 

If you’re in the market for new wheels, quit stalling and get your checkbook—now’s the time to buy.  New car prices drop then because salesmen are bonus-hungry; used car prices drop because—well—the cars are getting older.
Kia is one of the few car companies that reward you for going to school or were every apart of the US military. There are other discounts and incentives and you can check it out at Westside Kia. Houston's most preferred Kia dealers in town. 

Most dealers make it clear what factory incentives are currently available, because it can help convince a buyer who is sitting on the fence about whether or not to purchase a new car. What might be of great benefit to you is to ask the salesperson what the different incentives are, which one is best and compare the amount you'll save on different car models.
Now comes the time for the bells and whistles. Understanding the different options available on a car and how those options are packaged together can be tricky even for an experienced car buyer. This is one area that car salesmen across the board indicated could be used by consumers to get more bang for their buck. The bigger the package, the more savings on the car. The best way to see if you are getting the best deal possible and not just being drawn in by all the flash of those shiny, sporty wheels and the four-wheel drive is to make a list beforehand of the items you can't live without.

So you found the car you wanted. Now all we have to do is find out how you are going to pay for it. Leasing generally means lower monthly payments than buying new. easing might allow you to afford a better equipped vehicle. You only are, in a sense, leasing a portion of the vehicle that’s new. It’s designed for people with a history of every three years or so getting a different vehicle. You’re staying in a newer vehicle all the time. With that, you generally have factory warranty coverage. It’s really for people who know how many miles they drive per year. If you’re driving more than 15,000 miles a year, purchasing might be a better option.

A car payment and expenses, including insurance and maintenance, should be 12% or less of your take-home pay. New cars depreciate quickly. You may soon owe more than the car is worth (being "upside-down" on the loan). Avoid this by putting at least 20% down.
While leasing isn’t necessarily better than buying (or vice versa), understanding the differences between each option should help car shoppers make an informed buying decision.

Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Some sound advice before you walk into the car dealership to purchase your beautiful new or used car.
