Buying a car is expensive. And you have a great chance of having a pleasant car buying experience. Hi, I’m Mike Meganck. I’ve spent nearly 30 years in the industry, and people will often ask me… Car prices are increasing. Loan terms are extending. But that doesn’t mean that the consumer still can’t make a smart move. Consumers should be informed on any manufacturer incentives or special financing offers as new vehicle models move in. Seasonality sometimes does play a role. There are more people shopping for vehicles around tax return season in the spring. In the fall, as next year’s models start hitting the dealer’s lot, there might be discounts on outgoing models. Credit score really matters too because it affects your interest rate. The consumer really needs to take it on themselves to be fully educated and informed both before they walk into the dealership’s lot and as they’re leaving.
