Have you heard the new car ads on television lately? Local auto dealers are announcing the “First Sale of 2014” and offering their best specials to draw you out of the cold and into their dealerships. Having a bit of knowledge before you get to the dealership can save you thousands of dollars and be in command in new vehicle negations. Here are a few key terms you’ll want to investigate at CompetingCarPrices.com.

Rebates and Incentives – These ways to save cash on a new vehicle come from the auto makers and normally apply at any dealership. Some automaker incentives include new college grad rebates and military personnel rebates.

Dealer Holdback – Automakers holdback some money from each vehicle that the dealership purchases from them. This is called holdback, and the dealerships will receive this money that was held back when they sell you the vehicle. You may be able to negotiate a few hundred dollars off your purchase price with this knowledge.

CSI Rating – No we do not crime scene investigation, but Customer Satisfaction Index. This is a rating you give the dealership after you purchase a new vehicle. Dealerships are scored very highly by these and can get better rates on future vehicles with consistent great reports, so you may be able to negotiate a few hundred bucks in savings if you promise a stellar review.

So get some research and free car quotes at CompetingCarPrices.com and be ready to command the negotiation for your new vehicle.
