EOFY – The best time of the year to bag a car bargain!

Thanks to oversupply and stocktakes, EOFY is one of the best times to buy a new car. Here are 3 proven tips and tricks to rely on, along with some of the most common pitfalls to avoid.

1 – Plan ahead

EOFY deals are only on the table until July 1. After that, it’s business as usual, so take the time to do your research and sort out your finance before you hit the showrooms. That way, you’ve got time to consider multiple options without succumbing to the pressure last minute buying can bring. It’s also worth remembering that delivery on new cars can take up to 6 weeks, so getting started sooner rather than later is always a good idea.

2 – Don’t be afraid to bargain

Dealers are in the game to make money, so it pays to remember that as great as that EOFY offer seems, it still contains a built-in margin. With that in mind, don’t be afraid to ask for an even bigger discount. If your dealer can’t (or won’t) go down on price, see which optional extras they’re prepared to throw in to sweeten the deal. Conversely, you can also ask about which optional extras they’d be prepared to discard to bring your costs down.

3 – Read the fine print

Some deals look great on the surface, but when you get down to the details, they don’t always stack up. To ensure you’re not getting taken for a ride, take the time to read the fine print and don’t let slick sales talk lead you astray. Pay particular attention to delivery costs and finance deals and ensure any ‘additional extras’ aren’t reflected in the ultimate purchase price.
