Local GMC Dealer, Scott McCorkle’s Liberty Buick GMC, Cautions “Year-End Savings Deals” Depend on the Right Dealership
(PRWEB) December 08, 2011
Year-end income events offer great deals on cars, but less than scrupulous dealers might use it as an opportunity to take advantage of buyers rather than offering a great deal. Learn why a great deal depends on a great dealer.
According to Scott McCorkle of Liberty Buick GMC Trucks in Charlotte, N.C., “Clearance income can be great if you know how to protect yourself.” Year-end income events, the annual clearance period when carmakers slash prices to get old models out of their showrooms and off their lots, is a great time to get a great deal on a great car. “But your great deal and your great automobile still depend on selecting the right dealer,” states McCorkle.
The Superior Business Bureau, J.D. Powers and Associates and AAA agree, saying small intimidation tactics applied or minor untruths told can add up to toxic car-buying experiences. A reputable dealer like Liberty Buick GMC Trucks warns consumers not to start for the tricks that less-than-reputable dealers might try. A wrong dealer might ambush customers with over-eager salesmen and pressure tactics.
McCorkle says, “We don’t just sell and service cars. We’re in the business of building positive, long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial. That’s the reason we’re so successful.”
McCorkle goes on to say, “We listen to our customers. I don’t want to make one sale. I want to make a customer for life. And I’d like to sell his daughter a automobile one day too. My customers come back, because they know they can trust me.”
But if consumers find the right dealership and are in the market for a new automobile this holiday season, hunting down a great bargain can be simple at year-end. There are great deals on the 2011 inventory that still remains on the lot. With so many automobile companies introducing new 2012 models before the end of the year, dealerships are motivated to move out the previous year’s inventory to make room for fresh orders. Even though not universal, the deals that are acquirable on these still-new-but-not-2012 models are often more captivating than the general “year end clearance” offers found on the most current editions.
“The ideal week to purchase a automobile is between Christmas and New Year’s,” according to Jim Bragg author of New Automobile Buyer’s and Leaser’s Negotiating Bible. Some experts state there are actually some days in December that are superior than others for buying. According to True Car, the top four days to shop are actually December 21, 24, 28 and 31. Contrary to favourite belief weekends aren’t necessarily the ideal times to buy.
One couple of final factors to consider: Inventory varies from dealership to dealership. Part of being a great dealership involves offering a great inventory. In order to offer the ideal deals, a dealership has to have the automobiles to offer. And finally, purchasing before the year end provides a tax break for many people. Just another hidden way to save.
Taking advantage of year-end automobile income is smart business, but making sure you really get that great deal depends on finding a reputable dealer. Liberty Buick GMC Trucks has one of the largest inventories of new and previously owned cars available. “We give our customers red carpet service and a great selection of products,” states McCorkle.
