What fees should you refuse to pay when buying a new car?
Alright folks, you've got to stay sharp when you're out car hunting because there are some fees that are just plain silly! First off, do not, and I mean DO NOT pay for advertising fees. That's like paying for the privilege of watching commercials. Seriously, who does that? Secondly, steer clear of dealer preparation fees - it's their job to make the car presentable, not yours. And finally, dodge those unnecessary extended warranties. Remember, you're buying a car, not a lemon! So there you have it, car buying without the unnecessary financial fender benders!
Is it a bad move to test drive a car and then not buy it?
In my recent blog post, I explored the concept of test driving a car without making a purchase. Although some may feel guilty about test driving and not buying, it’s crucial to remember that a car is a significant investment and decisions should not be rushed. The test drive is a vital part of the car-buying process to ensure the vehicle suits your needs and preferences. Dealerships understand this, and it's a normal part of their business. Therefore, it’s not a bad move to test drive a car and then not buy it.
