5 most common mistakes when buying a new car

Good day! You are currently looking at our list of Cadillac SUV / Crossover for sale in the Philippines.

Cars are not like clothes that you could wear these today and change to another tomorrow. Car buying process, no matter it is a brand-new or second hand vehicle, requires more efforts of product research, awareness, showroom visiting, and so on.

So to assist you, Philkotse.com has listed the usual mistakes people make when purchasing a new vehicle. Knowing those mistakes first will definitely help you in avoiding them.

1. Not looking at the model thoroughly & not looking at its competitors.

First of all, let us get one very important thing out of the way first: do not immediately buy the first model you see. Because unlike buying clothes, cars require a lot of research to make you aware of what you're getting into.

So in order to not get surprises, we recommend spending the time to go on the internet and find out everything there is to know about new or used Cadillac car or the other brands that have similar models in their lineup.

2. Not picking the right type of car

Sometimes people buy a vehicle based on their wants and preferences not on their needs.

For example, it is very common to see people commuting alone using humungous SUVs, especially in Metro Manila. But alas, many of these people have small families and usually travel within the city.

As such, these people would've been better off with a smaller vehicle, like a sedan, a wagon or a hatchback whereas a large SUV would be hard to park and cannot slice through traffic very well.

So besides the Cadillac models, there are other vehicles from other makes in other body types and configurations that can meet your needs not just your wants.

Make sure to study thoroughly about all car body types to decide which one is best for you.

3. Approaching only one agent or one dealership

It is common to see people visiting only one dealership and talking to only one agent there. This is a mistake because some dealerships will have slightly different prices and different promos and deals going on.

They might even have different bonus free packages that might be useful for you so we highly advise visiting multiple Cadillac Philippine dealerships near your vicinity.

4. Not test driving the vehicle

Test driving is a very important part of buying a new car and it is common to see many people having a sub-par experience with their vehicle due to not testing it out in the first place.

There are many reasons for this. It might be that you're uncomfortable with the seats or the automatic gearbox is not to your liking. Also, it's very prudent to bring multiple people along with you especially if you're buying a car to transport your family.

Cadillac Philippines, like many other manufacturers, will allow you to test drive their cars for free so don't be shy about asking to schedule one.

5. Focusing too much on the payment method and not the price

As we've said earlier, you would have the upper hand especially if you know everything there is to know about a particular vehicle. This includes the price. As such, you would want to check out our Cadillac Philippines car price list to check out the latest pricing changes all across the local line-up.

And also, when dealing with a car salesman, keep calm and take into consideration that salespeople are trained to entice you into an immediate purchase. Keep in mind that no matter the payment method, the final amount you will pay will be the same or in many cases, with interest.
