Bronx Used Cars buyers can find great information in a newly released used car shopping guide by Yonkers Auto Mall.
YONKERS, N.Y. – Bronx Used Cars buyers now have a new credible source from which to read about advice regarding what to know about trade-ins, financing options, anti-theft measures and vehicle protection programs. Yonkers Auto Mall has recently collected information regarding its own programs and general information about Bronx Used Cars that will greatly benefit any used car buyer, even if that customer is not purchasing from Yonkers Auto Mall.
Trade-ins at a dealership advantageous
Tax benefits are there
Sales taxes vary from state to state but Bronx Used Cars buyers should know one aspect of New York state tax law affecting trade-ins: When a trade-in takes place Bronx Used Cars dealerships don’t apply sales tax to the new car price only, but rather to the difference between the trade-in value and the purchase price of the car. For example, if a trade-in is valued at $6,000, and a new car is purchased at $16,000, the consumer is only taxed at for $10,000 instead of $16,000. This law is valid as long as the dealership is intending on reselling the traded-in vehicle.
Arduous to sell a car alone
Selling a car without the help of a dealership can turn into a second job for Bronx Used Cars sellers. It’s a long and involved process that begins with creating a sales advertisement for the used car, finding a place to post the advertisement — which may cost money – and then being available to answer every phone call about the vehicle for sale, including questions from callers without intentions to buy. After the phone calls comes setting up appointments, which is a juggling act itself because Bronx Used Cars sellers must coordinate their busy life schedule with that of another person. Often appointments take place in the evenings at someone’s home or other unsafe location. Once a sale is finally getting near the closing point, most buyers want to haggle with sellers and most times achieve their goal leaving the sellers with a payment that is much lower than the initial asking price.
Sellers must make repairs to car before selling it
Bronx Used Cars buyers know if they buy a new set of tires they will be able to up the asking price. However, they often put a lot of time and money into making sure the car is running well before they advertise it because who wants to buy a broken car? In this case Yonkers Auto Mall will, as the dealership pays for all reconditioning expenses on the vehicle sold in a trade-in transaction.
Meeting strangers to sell cars can be dangerous
Of course selling Bronx Used Cars without a dealership offers independence but that independence can come at a high price if not done correctly. Yonkers Auto Mall recommends if Bronx Used Cars sellers are selling a car by themselves, they should always take a friend or family member with them when meeting a possible buyer. Additionally, sellers should take every precaution possible to avoid selling a vehicle from a home address because if buyers are unhappy with a transaction, they can easily return to the sellers’ homes and inflict damage or danger upon sellers’ or their families.
Trade it in and it’s over
There’s no chance of having to deal with someone else’s buyer’s remorse or anger when trading in a vehicle to a dealership. A mechanical problem might arise not because Bronx Used Cars sellers ignored the problem, but just because of chance. Transactions done in private can often leave someone with sour grapes if they feel they’ve been lied to, and if they’re angry enough they will contact the seller of the vehicle. If something is wrong with a traded-in vehicle, the dealership will never contact the person who traded it in and demand he or she takes the vehicle back.
Financing approved quickly
Hassle-free financing
Bronx Used Cars buyers should choose a dealership that has a great relationship with a long list of financial institutions. Yonkers Auto Mall would never forcefully negotiate a car buyer into a financing option that would put the customer in a bad position because Yonkers Auto Mall would never want their customers to lose their vehicles. The dealership even allows customers to change financing for a certain time period after papers are signed at no penalty to the customers.
Financial institutions used are widely known
Yonkers Auto Mall works with a minimum of 30 lending institutions in order to provide customers the most competitive rates and ensure every customer can get approved for financing.
Financing should be achieved quickly
Customers should never spend half their day at a dealership worrying about whether or not they’ll be approved for financing. Yonkers Auto Mall’s mission is for every Bronx Used Cars buyer to get approved for credit, and it’s achievable because Yonkers Auto Mall can get credit approval for many customers who’ve been turned away elsewhere.
Take advantage of the vehicle protection programs
Service contracts for Bronx Used Cars
Yonkers Auto Mall recommends Bronx Used Cars buyers purchase protection for their vehicle to ensure they are taken care of should anything happen after the deal is closed. Unfortunately, when buying a car through a non-dealership source, there usually no opportunity for vehicle protection from the seller. A policy should cover mechanical breakdowns and have some form of rental car reimbursement or towing package.
What’s on the outside counts, too
Mechanical problems aside, what about the car’s exterior? This plan allows coverage protection against rust, weather elements and the interior of Bronx Used Cars are also taken into consideration, with options to protect the interior from fading, stains and aging, for a limited time.
GAP’s are covered
Yonkers Auto Mall makes sure Bronx Used Cars buyers have the option to receive Guaranteed Auto Protection, which waives or pays the difference between the net amount left on the loan and the car’s cash value in the event a vehicle is lost due to theft, collision or fire.
Car maintenance programs extend the life of the vehicle
Yonkers Auto Mall knows regular car maintenance extends the lives of Bronx Used Cars, and that’s why they offer different programs that include maintenance items such as oil and filter changes, 20-point inspections, fluid top-off and tire rotations. Programs are based on different mileage and duration levels to meet all customers’ needs.
Help on the roadside
Roadside Assistance Program can help when Bronx Used Cars buyers need it the most. When Bronx Used Cars drivers are stuck in the middle of nowhere, Yonkers Auto Mall has an option to get them assistance such as 24-hour roadside assistance, towing, locksmith service, delivery of gas, oil or water, and even a jump start. Also covered is tire and wheel replacement.
Protect vehicles against theft
Modern alarm technology
All cars should have some form of alarm system to protect against theft. The easy, care-free days of leaving cars unlocked are far gone. Yonkers Auto Mall has a wide range of alarm system protection at varying levels of technology to suite each customer’s needs such as remote start capability and the basic keychain system.
Recover a stolen vehicle with LoJack
Sometimes car alarm systems are not enough and a thief succeeds where others have failed. Yonkers Auto Mall suggests customers take the next step in vehicle protection by selecting the LoJack vehicle recovery system; it works with police departments to recover stolen Bronx Used Cars. There’s also a reimbursement for the price of the system if the car is not found within 24 hours.
Making stolen parts unattractive
Another program is available to Bronx Used Cars buyers that will actually deter thieves from stealing cars to sell parts. It’s a cash based system for car buyers depending on the level of coverage chosen.
Theft protection installed on-site
Yonkers Auto Mall knows how excited Bronx Used Cars buyers are about their new purchases and makes it easy for them to get into their fully readied vehicle at the dealership. This means no separate trips elsewhere to get theft protection. It’s all handled on-site by a staff of trained service specialists.
