Choose Your Path

Buying a vehicle these days can be overwhelming but there’s really only two main roads: the online route, where almost everything happens online, and the classic, in-person route at the dealership. Both have their pros and cons, and this blog will help you steer toward the option that makes you most comfortable and makes most sense for you.

Digital Car Buying

When buying a car in person, it’s more about the hands-on experience and the relationship rather than saving time. You visit a dealership, talk with salespeople, and take different cars for a test drive to find the one that feels just right. Negotiating terms, arranging financing, and usually, driving away with your new ride can all happen in a single visit.

It can be nice to get everything handled in one stop. Not to mention, you can get expert advice on different makes and models from your salesperson, so you can get some more clear-cut information. This could be a quick process, but can vary from dealership to dealership, depending on their way of doing things..

In Person Car Buying

When buying a car in person, it’s more about the hands-on experience and the relationship rather than saving time. You visit a dealership, talk with salespeople, and take different cars for a test drive to find the one that feels just right. Negotiating terms, arranging financing, and usually, driving away with your new ride can all happen in a single visit. It can be nice to get everything handled in one stop however, this may also mean sitting at the dealership for as long as the whole process takes. 

 You must also keep in mind, if shopping in person, the cost of your time and the cost of the gas you will be using. While it may not be much, all these things can add up if multiple trips are required.

Perks of Digital Car Buying

1. Speed and Convenience: Browse and compare vehicles without leaving your garage.
2. More Inventory: Found a lot you love? Shop all their location’s inventory with ease.
3. Open 24/7: Shop, browse inventory, and apply anytime of day or night no matter the business hours.

Cons of Digital Car Buying

1. No Test Drives: Sometimes you just have to get behind the wheel to make that final decision. 
2. Trust Issues: Having to watch for scams leads to less trust when shopping online.
3. Limited Negotiation: Harder to haggle online with possible delays between correspondence. If you plan to trade-in a vehicle you may not be able to complete the deal online until your trade-in has been appraised in person. 
4. Customer Service: Naturally, you may not get the same kind of customer service online VS. in person. Harder to build a relationship with the salesman 

Perks of In-Person Car Buying

1. Hands-On Experience: Test the car’s handling, comfort, and all of its features. Allows you to get a much better feel for the car you are interested in. 
2. Face-to-Face Negotiation: Potential for better deals through direct discussion and a better understanding of your deal and the numbers.
3. Drive Home Today: In most cases, you will take home your new car the same day!
4. Expert Guidance: More personal experience, easier to ask questions and learn about your financing options.

Cons of In-Person Car Buying

1. Time-Consuming: Visiting dealerships can eat up your time and in some cases can take multiple visits to the lot. That also requires more gas costs depending on how many times you have to go back in.
2. Limited Inventory: If you are at a dealership with multiple locations, you can only see what they have on the lot at that time and at that location.
3. Weather: Depending on what state you live in and time of year you may experience rain, snow, or extreme heat that could make in person shopping miserable or impossible.

Whatever You Choose, We Have Your Back!

If you’re the person who loves to save time, always finds the best deals, is confident in their own research ability, and knows the exact make and model of vehicle you want, the online car buying experience would most likely benefit you most. 

However, if you’re the type who likes to get out there and kick the tires, feel the steering wheel, hear the radio, and talk face-to-face, going to the dealership is likely your best bet!
