Are you on a mission to buy a new car? Whether you are
looking to trade in your old vehicle, buy your first car, or add another
vehicle to the family, you need to find a Muncie car dealership you can trust.
Though used car dealers have been portrayed poorly in the media over the years,
there are plenty of reputable, friendly dealers who can help you find the
perfect vehicle at the right price.
Here is how to find a trusted Muncie car dealership.
Know What You Want
Before you start researching dealerships, it’s important to
zero in on what you want. If, for example, you want a brand-new vehicle, you
will have to go to a dealership that represents that brand. You will have more
options if you want a used car as most used car dealerships carry a wide
variety of makes and models, but you should still have a good idea of what
you’re looking for. A dealership can have friendly employees, excellent
customer service, and good prices but they still won’t be the right fit for you
if they don’t have and can’t get the vehicle you want. Not sure exactly what
you want? Put together a list of must-haves (such as four-wheel drive and room
for five) and nice-to-haves and take these to the dealership to get
recommendations.
Ask Your Friends and Family
Once you know what type of vehicle you want, it’s time to
start asking around. Who in your circle has purchased a car recently? What did
they think of the dealership? Would they recommend the dealership to others?
Knowing how a dealership has treated past customers is a great way to find out
how dedicated they are to customer service.
Do Some Online Research
When you’ve gathered a few names of dealerships from your
friends and family members, do a little online research. Look for Google, Yelp,
and Facebook reviews as well as browse what they currently have on the lot. You
can also learn more about the dealership, how long they’ve been in business,
and who is on the dealership’s team by looking at their website.
Visit the Dealership
The only real way to get a good feel for a dealership is to
visit it in person. Make a plan to visit the dealerships you have on your
shortlist and browse their car selection. Note how quickly it takes for someone
to greet you, how well they answer your questions, and whether or not they
treat you with friendliness and respect. If you feel they are being pushy,
don’t want your business, or don’t have much knowledge
of the type of vehicle you are interested in, you may want to look for a
different dealership.
