Winter has arrived in full force. If you live anywhere in the northern part of the country, you are probably buried under a foot of snow right now. January is typically a slow month for new car sales and a great time to take advantage of some deep discounts at your local dealership.

Winter Freeze

January is a poor sales month for new vehicles for a few reasons. First of all, no one wants to go out in the cold weather to test drive a car. The cold weather makes new car buyers hibernate until he spring thaw, usually around April. Your local dealerships know their history, so they will be offing amazing deals to supplement their slow sales months.

Cold Test Drive

One of the things that we mentioned was that most people don’t like to test drive vehicles in the cold weather. When we imagine our test drives, they occur in a Corvette convertible on the PSH with the wind in our hair. But cold weather test drives will show dealers that you are serious about purchasing a new vehicle.

Get Quotes First

Before you go out and brave the cold weather to find a dream deal on your new vehicle, go to CompetingCarPrices.com and get a couple of FREE, local vehicle price quotes that you can show the dealer and begin negotiations lower than they expect. Catching them off guard and showing them you know what you will paid for the vehicle can get you that deal you can brag to your friends about.

It’s a jungle out there. Trying to find the best deal on a new car, truck or SUV purchase can be tedious. Researching automakers, reading consumer reviews, finding dealer rebates and incentives and that is just the beginning of the process. Can you imagine going into your local dealership with the true dealer costs of the vehicle you want? Use the following “Must Know” facts to negotiate the best price and terms of your new vehicle purchase.

1) Hidden Dealer Incentives – Think of new car negotiation as a contest, with the person who has the most information wins. You may think, “How can I possibly obtain more information that the dealership as about their own vehicles?” The way to win this battle is to do your research on the vehicle you want BEFORE you go into the dealership. At CompetingCarPrices.com, we give you the hidden dealer rebates and incentives that include up to $7000 in cash back offers.

2)Dealership Holdback – Never heard of “dealer holdback”? It is money that the automakers return to the dealership on their bulk purchases of vehicles. Dealership holdback is normally 2 to 3 percent of the invoice price. What does that mean for a new car buyer? It means you can save $700 on a $30,000 car, truck or SUV purchase.

3)Dealer Competition – Even though this is the oldest trick in the book, it is also the most effective. Start by getting FREE, no obligation quotes from competing dealerships in your area. Then, choose two or more dealerships that have the vehicle you want and contact them. Once they are aware that you are a serious buyer and are choosing between two or more dealerships, they will offer you their bottom-line price to entice your business away from the competition.

Use these tactics the next time you are at the dealership and let us know how much money you saved by starting your search at CompetingCarPrices.com!

What makes a Subaru different from other import models and American cars?

What is it about the famed mystical badge that makes each new Subaru different from the rest of the competition?

Each new Subaru has two identifying traits: symmetrical all-wheel drive and the Boxer engine (or horizontally opposed engine).

From an engineering standpoint, symmetrical all-wheel drive is all about balance and the proper distribution of power to all four wheels. The Boxer engine is mounted low to the ground, and this gives the car better balance as well.

From a consumer’s standpoint, this all translates to a better driving experience. You get better grip, sharper handling, and better overall control, even when driving fast on slippery or icy roads.

Check out the latest offers and incentives from local Subaru dealers so you can experience what its like behind the wheel of a new Subaru.
