Purchasing an expensive vehicle can take a large chunk out of your pocketbook, but if you can afford it, and it is the direction that you want to go in, the purchase should be one that you are completely satisfied with from start to finish. Knowing how to buy a luxury car, though, can be confusing if you have not done it before. But you can easily get into the game by knowing a few easy steps.
Familiarize yourself with which luxury vehicle makes and models are available for you to purchase. You will probably have a particular kind of car in mind, but don't rule out any possibility until you have searched through what is available.
Look for your potential new luxury vehicle locally. This will be both the easiest way to obtain your vehicle as well as the most cost-effective way to pick up the vehicle.
Check out the vehicle advertising in the local newspaper. Most dealerships will run daily advertising and possibly larger and more detailed ads in the Sunday edition of the newspaper.
Hop on the websites of local dealerships. Most will have their entire inventory listed and will let you search by make and model.
Advance to a regional search by checking the larger metropolitan newspapers and area websites in a radius of a couple hours from you. Being willing to shop regionally will help open you up to a wider selection than what you can generally find locally.
Run a national search by looking online. While searching online may turn up a vehicle that is quite far away, often times dealerships can have the cars shipped to them for you to purchase for little or no additional cost.
Brands like Cadillac or Mercedes Benz have their own websites that you can run a search through to find a dealer near you. Search their sites, and then visit the location that is within driving distance for you.
Visit the dealership or seller location that you find the car with and arrange a test drive of the vehicle or vehicles in which you are interested.
Make sure that you adjust the seats and the wheel to a comfortable position for you. Personalizing the car to your specific needs during the test drive can help you make your purchasing decision.
Take in the features and make mental pro and con notes while you are doing the test drive. This will help you weigh whether you truly want to purchase the vehicle or not.
Discuss features of the vehicle with the seller.
Talk about the price with the seller, and come to an agreement on a fair asking price.
Arrange for financing either ahead of time or at the dealership, and make all final arrangements to secure the purchase of the vehicle.
