Simple Ways to Save at AutoTrader
AutoTrader is all about helping you find the right car, but you can also find some great savings if you know where to look. Here are a few simple ways to keep more cash in your pocket.
- Check for Online-Only Offers: Sometimes, dealers list special internet prices that are lower than what you might see if you just walk onto the lot. Always check the listing details for these exclusive deals.
- Look for "Part-Exchange" Options: Many listings mention that the dealer is happy to accept your old car as part of the payment. This can be a much easier and potentially more profitable way to sell your old car than doing it privately.
- Use the Price Comparison Tool: AutoTrader makes it easy to compare similar cars side-by-side. This helps you spot a genuinely good deal versus one that just looks good.
Best Times to Shop
While car sales happen year-round, timing your purchase can lead to bigger savings.
- End of the Month/Quarter: Salespeople often have targets to meet. Shopping towards the end of these periods can give you more bargaining power.
