A used car may have kinks that may be left unmentioned to a buyer. Even if the whole transaction is transparent, there are some problems that the previous owner might fail to notice before your purchase. Some of these might cause you or your loved one’ safety. This will lead to future repairs that might even cost you more than what you paid for. Having a brand new car means you completely avoid all of these problems as car dealerships would have strict inspections.

According to Rusty Tweed, owner of Tweed Financial Services, having a brand new car is entirely possible even on a tight budget. All it needs is a lot of persistence, wise negotiation, good financial advising and perfect timing. If you are someone who wants to get a new car in San Diego, read on to find out more about how you can get discounts.

How to Get a Discount on a Car in San Diego

 

1. Have the skill of assertion, but be flexible

When talking to a car dealership, it is important to be sure on which car you are buying. In some ways, car dealers can assess a person, if you know what you are doing or not. Before getting into a discussion with a dealer, you should have a background on your desired car’s features and price ranges. Usually, most cars have variations on transmission or feature upgrades. Ask all pertinent questions and be confident about the arrangements you want to have. If you are a practical buyer and can drive with the less preferred package or color, a dealer might be able to sign you off on a good payment basis since there is less demand. Do not overspend on extra features, and spend only on the ones you know you will be using.

2. Trade-In or Sell?

This option can be quite tricky, but if you have a previous car, trading in or selling can be to your advantage if you do the right things. You can look up classified ads in the San Diego area, and see how much your used car is valued for. You can present this to your car dealer so you know that you’re not being ripped off during trade-in deals. Usually, well-maintained cars are in a good advantage, so present your used car in good condition. However, if you feel like you don’t have to time to glam up your old car, it may be a better deal to sell it to a private owner. You can put up your car on websites such as Craigslist, eBay or even the Facebook Marketplace and quickly find buyers. This added money will help you finance your car’s downpayment or monthly dues.

3. Wait until demand declines

As humans, we all get hyped when we have the latest of everything: latest gadgets, clothes and even cars for that matter. However, this can lead to impulse purchases and tears of regret some months down the road. A new car doesn’t have to always be the latest model. Rusty Tweed advises new buyers that it might be ideal to wait a few months or even a year as new models can have the risk of recall or unexpected flukes. If you are purchasing a new car, it is possible to get a discount for the tried and tested models. Additionally, it is also ideal to get more discounts in the early or late part of the year, as most people would be thinking twice about getting a car in January or December. It’s either people are just out of the spending loop in the holidays or their money is spent in the holiday season. Dealers are thirsty for clients at this time, so you might be able to snag a good deal.

4. Claim a referral or a package deal

Any dealer will be happy to assist as long as you’re a serious buyer. Also, they will be willing to provide you discounts in the name of “referrals” or “package deals”. Referrals can be verbal testimonies of satisfied clients that you know, say a friend who said that the car dealership gave him the best price. You can mention this to your dealer and possibly get a good discount. Additionally, take advantage of seasonal package deals. Watch out for online ads, flyers, and posters that show seasonal deals. For example, Black Friday would be a good season to purchase a brand new car since most sellers would drop their prices to points so affordable than any other time of the year.

Companies such as Tweed Financial Services believe that it is essential to think wisely of big purchases such as a car. A new car can even be a better deal than some used ones, for as long as you follow these tips and learn how to negotiate with your car dealership.

Dr raouf farag automotive safetyWhen it comes to automobiles and child safety, it has been pointed out with relative frequency that many of the requirements mandated by law represent nothing more than a minimal standard. That may not be all that comforting to parents who may mistakenly believe that existing legislated requirements are emblematic of best practices in terms of child safety rather than a bare minimum, and it’s certainly not uncommon for parents to believe that the government would have a rather large incentive to mandate a fairly lofty standard when it comes to the safety of children.

Dr. Raouf Farag, an obstetrician practicing out of Gosford, New South Wales, has previously expressed concern regarding this fact, especially when it comes to the level of surprise he has seen in patients who find out about best practices regarding child safety measures for automobiles and the fairly sizable disconnect between those practices and the requirements set forth by law. Whether these measures relate to age and size guidelines for rearward-facing car seats or other in-car safety features, Dr. Farag has found that there is a troubling degree of confusion among even the most well-intentioned parents he has spoken to over the years.

This is part of the reason why it is important for enhanced automobile safety legislation to be thoughtfully considered. Not only is enhancing current standards a means of addressing a critical public health and safety issue, but it is also a way to clearly inform parents regarding the best practices available to them to ensure the safety of their children. When it comes to a safety issue such as this, there really is no room for confusion.

Dr. Farag shared that while he has made every effort to inform his patients regarding the best way to protect their young children, he also noted that there are still so many others who wish to always do the most they possibly can to protect their children yet simply remain unaware that the standard represents an absolute minimum. Raising those standards toreflect best practices is just one of the many ways children can enjoy a greater degree of safety while traveling in a car.

In San Diego, there is a well known car dealership known as “The Perry Ford” located just off I-15, the Escondido Freeway, on Poway Road. The car dealership’s request to remodel was approved in 2012 on a Tuesday night. The details were discussed at a council meeting after working on several design applications with the city. The transformation wasn’t like the transformation taking place in South Florida with an old fashion mall as planned by Arthur Falcone, but it was still impressive and with change spreading, is San Diego the next location?

Perry Ford’s plan to demolish two of the smaller car sales offices and have a two-story 17,500-square-foot sales and administrative office was a success. The automotive repair building will receive minor exterior upgrades soon, so is San Diego next? We will see.

The benefits of a vehicle are great, anyone would agree with that. With an automobile, you can get to your destination quicker, make business deals more effective, meet appointments and more. Although having a car is a great thing and highly helpful liability rather than an asset as most would call it, Jeff Halevy would agree that we drive probably too much and it’s time to start walking to a few places.

If we were to pick one place a day to walk to and drive the rest of the places we were to visit, the improvement of our health compounded over time, would improve drastically! To begin with, your heart would be stronger. As the strongest muscle, next to the tongue, it is the most important and carries and endless list of responsibilities. Driving has great short term value with limited long term value. You drive to reduce the time of your commune to places and that is all the purpose it serves.

Walking or even biking one place a day out of your multiple places to go will save you money! Think of the gas you’re paying for and if you life in a big city like San Diego, you have to pay for parking. Stay a little healthier and a little more wealthier and ditch the car some. You’d be amazed!
