Most car buyers would agree that spending hours in a car dealership is not the best use of your weekend or day off.  That’s why it is so important to be prepared when you decide it’s time to make your next new Dodge Ram purchase near Ellisville. Today, the team at All-Star Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will help you navigate through the pre-work details of purchasing a car so that your time in the dealership is minimal and you can focus on enjoying your new ride.

Tip #1 – Know what you want.  Before you decide that today is the day to purchase a new car, do your research.  By this time your should have already visited multiple dealers, taken model for a test drive, and know all of the details that are on your must-haves list.  This will make the decision making process quick and simple.

Tip #2 – Have your financing in place.  Getting pre-approved for your car loan is a key factor in making your purchase go quickly.  If you wait to secure a loan until the tip of purchase, you will have to fill out extra paperwork, wait for approval, and sift through multiple offers from lenders.  Avoid this hassle by contacting your bank or credit union for pre-approval well in advance of when you actually make a purchase.

Tip #3 – Have your trade ready.  If you plan on trading a vehicle at time of purchase, you need to make sure it is ready.  This includes getting all of your personal items out of the vehicle and having your title and loan payoff (if applicable) ready for your dealer.

Tip #4 – Don’t get too caught up in the negotiation.  If you find yourself in the sales office for hours haggling over price – just leave.  I know you love the car, but when the sales staff starts to waste your time it’s time to move on.

If you are ready to take a streamlined approach to your next Ellisville area Dodge Ram purchase, visit the All-Star team today!  We understand that your time is valuable and will always have you in and out as quickly as possible.
