Not only does it mean you will find plenty of Vauxhall cars to choose from in Manchester, it also means you’ll have a lot of choice and the chances of finding an incredible deal will be increased. Before you begin your hunt for a new second hand vehicle read through these great tips on how to haggle with a salesperson to get an even better deal.

Know What You Want

It’s important to head into the deal knowing exactly what you want to achieve.  Think about the kind of car your want and which types of Vauxhall will suit your requirements. You may need a set amount of seats or doors, you might care more about fuel efficiency than boot space, or perhaps you want a car that comes with a great sound system, only you know what you want. Make a list of your priorities and research some of the different models before you visit the dealership. This helps you focus on what you need rather than being persuaded into a deal you’re not going to be happy with.

Keep Your Cards Close to Your Chest

You will need to establish how much you can spend on your car so work out the monthly amount you can comfortably afford. Have a top figure in your mind that isn’t to be overstepped, but don’t tell the dealer how much that amount is. It’s important not to hand out your budget as the sales person may try and get the whole amount from you when they could possibly sell it to you for much less.

Don’t be Too Intimidated to Walk Away

Even when you’ve started haggling the price you still have the right to walk away. If you cannot reach a price you’re happy with you should thank the sales person for their time and walk away. When a seller sees that you’re not going to budge they may be able to come down to your figure. However, it’s important to remember salespeople may not be able to give you the car at the price you want, which is why it’s important to respect them and their position.

Look at Finance Deals

Finance for cars provides all buyers of new and even second hand vehicles the option to spread out the cost of the vehicle. You can also find different types of contracts that will allow you to keep the vehicle, sell it back to the dealership, or even change the car for something else and continue the finance.

Find a Decent Dealership

If you’re serious about buying second hand Vauxhall cars in Manchester it’s important to find a great dealership. The dealers will have a good range, will be able to provide you with excellent deals and finance offers.  They’ll also be expecting you to haggle down the price, something that will be of great benefit to you.
