Step 2: Trade-in value
If you want to trade-in your old car, you should definitely get the trade-in value before you go to the dealership.
You can use our trade-in value calculator to do this.
It’s important to do this before you go to a dealership because it will give you a good idea of what to expect. Knowing what your car is worth will make you better prepared when you get an offer. Be sure to list any extra equipment on your car, such as the sunroof, heated seats, cameras, etc. Be sure to be honest about the condition of the car so that the trade-in value is as accurate as possible.
Step 3: Test-Drive
Now that you’ve established your needs in terms of features and type of car, it’s time to go out and test drive those cars. After finding the best deals and negotiating the best car price for you with the Free Report, CarCostCanada will recommend a dealerships near you that sells the vehicles that you selected.
Also, be sure to call and make an appointment before you go to the dealership so you don’t have to wait when you arrive. Moreover, make sure the car(s) that you want to see are available at the dealership. Online inventories are not always perfectly aligned.
Also, when you do the test drive, be sure to take your time and not just drive around the block. There’s no rush, just make sure you test drive everything and that you feel comfortable. Finally, you don’t have to buy the car on that exact same day. You can always take the option of taking a day or two to think about it and give an answer afterwards.
Step 4: Review the price and warranties
