Hello From Dave Cross Motors!

Buying a car is a common part of life, but it can still be overwhelming, even with the expertise and attention to customer's needs at Dave Cross Motors. That said, there's a lot of myths and misconceptions about what you should do when buying a car. We've compiled a list of them, to talk about how these things might not necessarily be true. If you're interested in buying a car from us (and we hope you are), read on! Myth: The Best Deals Are Online rnOnline car shopping offers convenience and access to a wide range of inventory, but it's essential to remember that not all sellers and deals are available on the web. Some dealerships may not have an online presence or may offer exclusive promotions to in-person buyers. Additionally, by physically visiting a dealership, you may have the opportunity to negotiate face-to-face and benefit from in-person incentives. Myth: You Should Pay in Cash Paying for a car in cash might seem like the best way to avoid interest payments, but it's not the only viable option. Car loans with low-interest rates can make sense, especially if you can invest your cash in a way that earns you more than the interest you would pay on the loan. Additionally, financing a car can help improve your credit score if managed responsibly. Evaluate your financial situation, interest rates, and long-term goals to determine whether it makes more sense to pay in cash or finance your purchase. Myth: Bring Your Own Financing There's a common belief that financing through a dealership is more expensive than getting a loan from a bank or credit union. While this can be true in some cases, dealerships often have access to competitive financing options and promotions that can make financing through them a cost-effective choice. Always explore different financing sources, compare interest rates and terms, and negotiate the best deal, whether you choose to finance at the dealership or elsewhere. Myth: Mention Your Trade-in at the End In reality, discussing your trade-in early in the process can be a smart strategy. By informing the dealer or seller about your intention to trade in your current vehicle, you can gain valuable insights into how the trade-in will affect the overall transaction. You'll have a clearer picture of the total cost of the new car, including the trade-in value, and this can help you make a more informed decision. Furthermore, discussing the trade-in early can prevent misunderstandings and surprises later in the negotiation. You can also use the trade-in value as a negotiation point, seeking the best possible deal for both the purchase of the new car and the trade-in. Open communication from the beginning of the process can lead to a smoother and more transparent car-buying experience.

The automotive world has seen its fair share of iconic vehicles, and one name that has always stood out is the Hummer.
