The Car Buying Guide... how to get the best deal
Car salespeople are expert at “dealing”… their goal is to make as much profit from you as they can whilst making you think that you’re getting a good deal. To get the best deal, you need to understand:
- What price you really get for your car
- The clever tactics dealers use to fool you
- How to “out tactic” them
- What to say and what not to say
- How to say “No” and ask for a better deal
- How to spot and avoid bad finance deals
- Zero percent finance isn't real!
The information on this website was written by two trained and successful car sales people and is packed with insider information, tips and advice about buying a car – to help you get the best deal.

Why we wrote this guide
Having worked in car sales for a major dealership, we used to tell friends and family about all the tricks car salespeople get up to... all the things WE were trained to do... the things that fool people into thinking they were getting a good deal, when really they weren't! This guide is an extension of the notes that we wrote for them. It's free and you can be reading it in a few minutes.
Get the best price for your part exchange
Do you think you get different offers for your part exchange car from different dealers? You don’t - what they give with one hand they take with the other! This website shows you how this slight of hand works and how to protect yourself from being drawn in by this and similar tricks.
"Wow - what fantastic reading and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to compile such facts and traits of the forecourt saleman/woman. We followed much word for word and left the salesman stumped for words especially on the silent treatment. Got a further 250 pounds on the part exchange and saved 900 on the asking price with a years road fund also and a tank of fuel. Thank You. I have linked this to favorites and will be passing onto many of our friends when the time arrises for them to purchase their new vehicle. Yours Sincerely Mr Andrews"
Get the best deal on a car loan
Do you think zero percent finance is worthwhile? Actually it’s not – you pay for it in other ways… it’s just a “lure” to make you think you are getting a good deal. In any car deal, there are so many ways that they can hide what is really going on. We show you how a car deal works and how to check the finance deal you are being offered so that you don’t get “taken in”.

Buying A Car ?
We don't try to tell you where to buy a car, what car to buy and we don't tell you where to get finance - we show you how to go about getting the best car deal wherever you go, especially when you trade in your old car.
