Part 4/8:
To secure the best possible deal when purchasing a vehicle, Tam recommends a structured strategy:
Nationwide Search: Begin by looking for the best deals on your desired vehicle from dealerships across the country. Document the best offers in writing.
Leverage Competitive Offers: Once you have a written offer, contact local dealerships and present the better deal, requesting them to beat it rather than simply match it. This could lead to better rates.
Photos and Details for Trade-Ins: If trading in a vehicle, prepare a comprehensive portfolio of detailed photographs and vehicle information (VIN, mileage, condition) to streamline your negotiations.
