Bell Road Toyota Debunks Car Buying Myths

When you're shopping for a vehicle here at Bell Road Toyota, you can be sure that you're getting the best deal. Some drivers have some car buying myths in mind when they arrive at a dealership, but we're here to tell you that you don't need them. These tips and tricks aren't so useful after all, and we'll help you find new Toyota models that you can afford without them.

According to some drivers, car shopping is all about timing. It's when you go to the dealership and when you reveal key information. Unfortunately for them, most of these old myths don't actually pan out. One common one we hear is that you should shop on a rainy day. The logic is that the dealership will be less crowded and that our dealers will be desperate to move cars. Other drivers have heard this rumor too, however, so the dealership may be more crowded than you expect and you won't have that leverage you thought you would.

Another myth is that you should shop at the end of the month. The dealership has sales targets to hit, so naturally they'll bend over backwards to help. Unfortunately, this usually doesn't make much of a difference in the price of your vehicle either. A dealership may not have a particular target to hit, or they already achieved sales goals for the month. So you're not getting a better deal just because you shopped on the thirtieth instead of the first.

Some drivers also think that timing is important when negotiating the final price of the car. Some think that springing a trade-in on the dealer at the last second will help them get a better deal. That doesn't work. Tell us about your trade-in right away, and you can even value your trade-in right on our website before you visit!
