ENA Motors - Essential Tips for Buying New Cars in Los Angeles - Get the Best Price
They say America is a country built on wheels, and the axle of these wheels must be Los Angeles. Here, cars are necessities, not luxury items. Without a car, it's like having no legs - you can't move an inch. Everyone needs to buy a car, and dealerships are everywhere, but negotiating prices isn't easy. Here we'll introduce some tips for buying new cars.
First, we need to look at the new car's window price, commonly called 'MSRP' - this is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This determines the car model's configuration, and each different MSRP represents different model configurations. Many people only know how to negotiate prices but don't look at MSRP. Actually, whether a price is good or bad is relative, not absolute. For example, with Toyota Corolla, the most basic L model MSRP is $18,435, while the better LE+ model MSRP is $19,735 - the two cars differ by $1,300 in configuration. Today, if A buys the L model with an out-the-door price of $18,988 while B buys the LE+ model with an out-the-door price of $19,988, although A's price appears lower than B's, actually B spent less money but got better configuration - this is value for money.
Second, besides MSRP, each car has its own Invoice - this is the car's true cost. When buying cars, MSRP is just reference. Unless it's a market-scarce item or a hot new model that just arrived, getting a good price should be near the Invoice price.
Next, manufacturers periodically release promotional plans for each car model, such as rebates or special interest rates. With today's advanced internet, most of this information can be found online. Remember to check thoroughly before buying a car, otherwise some unscrupulous dealers won't give you rebates you deserve - wouldn't that be unfair?
Finally, the rough method for calculating out-the-door price is: car price + your residential area sales tax + 1.5% for license and handling fees. For example, if a car sells for $20,000 with 8% sales tax, the out-the-door price is approximately $21,900, with an error margin not exceeding $100. Any fees beyond this are unreasonable. So the simplest method is to directly ask for the after-tax out-the-door price - saves trouble.
