It's the best time to buy a car. The Auto Shows will start in the beginning of 2012 and will be a platform for new car model launches. This means dealers are more than eager to get rid of their inventory. So, you can manage a great deal on new cars. Furthermore, Thanksgiving marks the official beginning of the holiday season. So, there are many holiday discounts to be taken advantage of. This is a sign that pre-owned cars will also be costing less.
The next method that I have used to acquire parts for less for my automobile is a bit more risky than shopping at a local used cars, but I have never experienced any type of complication from making purchases in this fashion. This step involves using the internet. There are many different online resources that can be implemented when purchasing vehicle components online. For example, there are many online wholesalers that have massive amounts of parts that can be sold at much lower prices than automobile parts stores offer. In addition to this, there are online auction websites like eBay, as well as many classified advertisements that offer great deals on vehicle components.
Another option that you have is to buy reconditioned parts from an authorized - or private - service center. Even though, these are used auto parts, they are almost as good as new ones. Have you ever wondered what happens to your vehicles' old parts when you order a replacement? Those parts are restored by the stores and they sell them for peanuts to people who don't want to spend on brand new parts. Not to mention that sometimes these parts carry a warranty with them. This is what makes it the next best thing after buying new parts, if not better than that.
Kitchen base cabinets can be had for as little as $100 a piece, depending on width of the cabinets, number of doors, drawers, etc. If you plan to paint the cabinets, prowl the junk yard. I found a nice 30-inch, 2-door, cabinet base with a drawer the other week for ten dollars!
We discussed this subject in Can You Negotiate the Price of Your New car. Dealerships with a used car lot will likely keep the trade-in on the lot and assuredly sell it for a profit. This profit becomes your trade-in's value negotiation leeway. In other words, you may be able to convince the dealership to take less profit on your used car (i.e. give you more money for your trade-in) in return for buying a new car there. If the dealership does not have a used car lot, then your sales representative will have to call independent used car dealerships in your area and ask them how much they are willing to pay for the trade-in. In that case, only the items listed in points 1 to 10 become a factor and you are not likely to get more than market value for your trade-in.
If you shop online, you also have the option of browsing through a number of websites who offer spare Lexus parts and then settling for one which offers the most competitive price. You could look for Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) parts, for used parts, and even cheaper parts from other manufacturers. These websites will also be a veritable mine of information on all parts. Hence, if you do not know details of a particular part, you can get it by going through these websites. All these are hardly possible when you go to your local dealer.
