Buying New Car

[Twirly00]

I'm buying a new car soon and I've been told by the dealer the current 'offer' ends this week and after that the price will probably go up.

Is this a ploy to get me to buy quicker or will the prices really change all that much? Especially with Easter weekend coming up I figured there will be more 'offers' on all the time??

There will always be time for more special offers, the motor trade is struggling at the moment. Stick to your guns, that salesman will be desparate to sell you a car. Buy when you are ready to do so, the deal will be there.

The prices may go up - but there is no reason why they can not do the deal later ( unless you are buying a brand new car, in which case it may be subject to a manufacturers allowance). Generally the best time to buy used - is towards the end of the month when a dealer is more likely to want to do deals to hit target - subject to the car going out the same month.

It's a ploy, buy when you are ready and beat them down some more, the salesman has already loaded the price, he'll rip your arm off at the elbow for any sensible offer. Take no notice of these DG salesman, "special offer" ploys.
