Top 5 Car Dealership Traits!

Cars are a big deal. Most of us spend quite a bit of time sitting in a car; whether we're driving it, riding in it or just plain sitting in it! And in addition to the fact that we spend a large portion of our time there, it's also the second largest purchase in most people's lives. When you decide to buy a new car you've got a lot of decisions ahead of you. At San Tan Honda Superstore of Chandler we help our customers make those decisions. We definitely want to sell cars; it's the purpose of a dealership. But the method of selling the cars can vary greatly from dealership to dealership. At San Tan we want to sell cars to happy customers.

If you're not careful you'll discover first hand that not all dealerships have the same philosophy. A lot of car dealerships don't really care about the "eventual" satisfaction of the customer as long as they get the papers signed and the prospective customer back on the road in a vehicle; any vehicle. So before you wander into just any car lot...think about a few things that might make your car purchase a little more pleasant.

As a favor to consumers who may someday want to buy a Honda while they're in Chandler, Arizona...we're willing to guide you in the right direction with a list of 5 things you should make sure your dealership offers you:

1. Nice salesmen. And not just because it's enjoyable, but because the stereotypical car salesman are actually sometimes the ones you end up with on the car lot and you won't enjoy it! A good dealership will train their sales associates to give customers a little bit of space. They might even leave you to wander into the showroom on your own and browse through the inventory a little bit before they greet you and offer to help you. This method is much more enjoyable than the tried and true drag the car buyers from their vehicles before they've even come to a full stop!

2. Make sure you are able to access Internet specials through your chosen dealership. You want the best deal and the easiest way to get the best deal is to relax and do your research online.

3. We all have to put up with bossy friends, bossy parents and even bossy siblings, but you shouldn't have to put up with bossy salesmen. Some salesmen depend upon the establishment of a pattern to make the sale. They might start by getting bossy with you on irrelevant matters saying, "Wait here" or "Follow me." Be aware that they may be leading up to a "bossy" finale where they tell you what car to buy at what price. Choose a dealership who has trained their sales people to avoid such pushy maneuvers.

4. Look for a dealership whose salesmen are very knowledgeable, but not ridiculously opinionated. This is your new car; not the salesman's. So it doesn't really matter how many times he's been tempted to buy the loaded, high end model in the showroom. If you feel like looking at it; go ahead. But don't feel obligated to accommodate the suggestions of a salesman who continuously suggests vehicles that are not what you came in to buy.

5. And last but not least, honesty! Look for a dealership that is honest in their dealings. This means they should never lose the keys to your trade in during the negotiations. This also means that you should know precisely what your interest rate and payments are listed as in the financing paperwork. This means that advertised prices are actually available. You get the picture!

Start your next ownership experience off on the right foot by making sure that the dealership you deal with is top notch. You'll regret it very quickly if you don't pay attention. Make the most of your money...don't just be happy with the end result. Be happy with the entire process from the moment you walk onto the lot to the moment you drive off of it!
