The bad news about the current economy means good news for getting a new car at a decent price. If you're one of the fortunate and have the means to buy a new car, the time might be right. Although the government funded cash for clunkers deal is now behind us, dealerships are reducing prices in order to attract buyers in a lean market. Nowhere is this more true than in the Bay Area, including San Jose.
Today, the best first option is to review prices of autos online. You can do so at a number of sites, including auction site eBay which sells a large number of new and used cars. Its also advised to read reviews of new autos to understand their features as well as drawbacks. Aspects such as fuel mileage, standard features, and rough cost of extras can be researched before you even set foot in a dealer. While the Internet is a good first step, nothing replaces the need to see the car first-hand and test drive it yourself. After all, this is the vehicle you will be spending time in for five to fifteen years.
San Jose, and the San Francisco Bay Area in general, is a great environment to own a car. The weather is cooperative much of the year, allowing San Jose cars as well as Vans in San Jose to last well past their usual lifetime. In 2009, you will still see classic VW bugs on the street, running as though they were new. Because the temperature rarely drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, cars can last. All the more reason to look carefully at your options since the car will be with you for a long time.
San Jose car dealerships range from Stevens Creek Porsche at the high end to Bob Lewis Lincoln Mercury at the broader market. It is advised you ask a friend or browse a business review site such as Yelp in order to find which dealership can be trusted from the standpoint of price and service. Many times a dealer can also service the car so inquiring with people you know about their experience with their dealer is advantageous.
Once armed with information from the Internet, you can have an informed discussion with salesmen and local dealerships. San Jose, in particular, has over 90 listed auto dealerships and there are hundreds more in the surrounding towns of Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, as well as San Francisco and the East Bay. The recession has hit Silicon Valley harder than the rest of the country but this misfortune is your gain when it comes to finding deals on San Jose cars.
