Have you ever been listening to the radio, and heard an ad for a particular car dealer, claiming that they have the best deals in town? Or that they are the most trustworthy? You probably listen for a few seconds, and then tune them out, especially if you aren’t in the market for a car. But what happens when you are in the market for a car, and aren’t sure which ads to believe? It can be hard choosing between car dealers, especially when they all make promises in their ads that, lets face it, may or may not be true.

Rather than listen to the ads, it’s best to get some real opinions from people who have used any car dealers you have heard ads from. A good place to start is with your friends and family member, and then move out into your larger circle of acquaintances – fellow church members, co-workers, etc. Ask what their experiences have been like buying from car dealers, both good and bad. You’ll get plenty of stories and advice, from a truly reliable source – people you trust. You can also use consumer review websites, which have reviews written on various businesses and products by real, live consumers.

Also, when you visit car dealers, be sure to listen to your instincts. If the salesmen feel too pushy, for example, then trust what you are feeling and visit another dealer. Likewise if they seem overly friendly and helpful. The goal is to find a car dealer that you can feel comfortable buying from, and comfortable returning to in the future. Because if you choose right, you will be able to go back to the same dealer for future purchases, as well as for routine maintenance. And for repairs, although we all hope those are few and far between!

If you find yourself in the position of having a few different car dealers that you really like, then you might want to try out websites that have car dealer inventories from multiple dealers. This way, you can search for the specific type of vehicles you are interested in, right from home, while keeping your eye out for cars that are at the dealers you prefer. Often with these websites, you can even save a particular search, and be notified when new vehicles are listed that match your search criteria.

So whether or not you are currently in the market for a new car, remember that the car dealer ads you hear on the radio are just that – advertisements. They may or may not be accurate, so trust the experiences of others as well as your own instincts. Because when it comes to choosing car dealers, the actions of the dealers speak louder than catchy jingles and sales hype. I think in the balance of things, we must all face the new media we are constantly bombarded with, with a pinch of salt. This is the only way to avoid falling for the various tricks and mind games that advertsing agencies are likely to play on you.
