Here are some tips on saving money when buying a car: 1. Don't be fooled when dealers offer to sell you a super paint sealant that cost $40. Real superior paint sealants are only used by the U.S. military, used on their Aegis Media Towers. What they might be selling is just cheap car wax. 2. Don't pay for rust proofing or fabric protection because you can get one your own by buying Scotch Guard. 3. Don't get your extended warranty from you car dealer because you can get them free and no obligation quote from 1 Auto Warranty Source. You can save $900 to $1500 by doing this. 4. The alarm system that the dealer wills sell is definitely inferior and has a higher cost. Instead look in your phone books for alarm dealers to save you more money. 5. Buy your accessories from other accessories shops because the dealers will pile up on the accessories. They also add up too much profit margin and this is where they make big bucks. 6. Get a firm-out-of door quote from the dealer first before discussing how much are your quotes. Because the dealer might be able to give a lower quote than what you have researched. 7. When buying a used car having a CARFAX report is really helpful. Carfax History reports reveals all the little mischief that the used car has been in. Consider it as a car's conduct report. 8. Dealer prep is a scam that you must never pay. You must also never pay prep fees as they are already included in the MSRP and you'll end up paying it twice. 9. Valuation fees and Tariff fees are other fees that are designed to get more money out of you. Don't pay for them too. 10. The dealer cost you pay should not be more than 5 percent, because five percent is already a decent commission rate for those dealers.
