10. Watch Out for Add-On Charges

Most auto dealers do not rely on the sale of your car for their profit. Instead, car dealers rely on the sale of add-ons to maximize the profit that they make on your first auto purchase. In many cases, these add-ons do not provide the true value that car salesmen promise you. For example, buying addition “under coating” for your car used to be a great idea. For today’s automobiles, advancements in technology have made the application of additional undercoating almost un-needed for car and truck owners. One way to combat the high-pressured sales techniques that many auto detailers will employ for new car owners is to do your research before showing up to the dealership. If there is an additional package or option that you would like to include on the auto, then ask for it up-front. If you have issues with saying no, then bring a friend or family member with you for the car purchase to help you say no.
