Not Shopping Around
With such easy access to the Internet these days, there’s no excuse for doing your due diligence and getting all the information you need make a decision that feels right for you. Know what you want before you enter the Toyota dealership so you won’t be easily swayed and end up buying something you don’t want.
Not Buying From a Reputable Dealer
Be sure the Toyota car dealer you’ve chosen is a large, reputable establishment with plenty of stock and a high turnover. Most good dealerships have a website. Check out a few and compare prices and deals before you visit them so you’ll be able to negotiate with confidence and get the best price.
Not Taking it for a Test Drive
It sounds unbelievable, but some people just sit in the car they decide to buy without taking it out for a test drive. Once you’ve chosen a new Toyota you admire, take it out and get a feel for it. Remember, you’ll be driving it almost every day, so make sure it’s comfortable and easy to drive with all the features you need.
Not Exploring Extras and Finance Options
Don’t automatically assume the dealer finance is the worst option, it could well be the best so take the time to check the numbers. You might also be offered some optional extras, so be clear on what you want and don’t be talked into anything you’re unsure of. Many dealers will tailor the options and extras to suit you, so speak up about what you’d like.
Not Taking the Time to Think About It
Buying a new Toyota is a big decision, so don’t let your emotions get in the way. It’s highly likely you’ll fall in love with a particular Toyota – the look, the new car smell, the feel of it when you’re driving – but don’t decide right away. Take a day or two to think about it, and don’t be pressured into deciding right there and then.
