First-time buyers can save themselves a lot of grief by doing their homework Buying a new car is an exciting time; finding your luxurious new bastion of freedom that either replaces your old beater or gives you knew legs (wheels, actually) to do more than simply get from A to B. It s also an intimidating process, especially when you are venturing to car lots for the very first time. Finance rates, APR (annual percentage rate) and Freight and PDI (pre-delivery inspection) are all foreign, alienating terms to first time buyers, made worse by the often pushy sales people who are looking to make a quick buck. It s enough to make what should be an exhilarating experience into a stomach-tightening chore where you have to keep your poker face on at all times. Diana Eves, sales rep at Precision Hyundai, says the test drive is one of the only things you can t do before you come to the dealership. Photo: Scott Connell/ Calgary Journal First, a story of my own experience. I recently went through the process with my significant other, trying to find a more practical vehicle to replace our sporty coupe. We decided we wanted a small SUV, for the cargo space, fuel economy and the ability to get into more off-road type areas - we are avid campers in the summer and snowboarders in the winter. We did our homework, researching nearly every automaker in our price range and decided to look at a half dozen models. But what happened next, made us quite sick to our stomachs. My fiancée and I went to our first car lot, featuring a reputable automaker, and talked with a salesman and iterated that we were interested in simply taking a test drive and that we weren t interested in dealing that day. The polite salesman took us for our drive and we were quite happy with the vehicle. He then asked us to come to his office so he could show us some "things" and we politely obliged, all the while assuming our opening disclaimer was understood. He started asking us questions about what we would like in terms of trim levels and options, and we smilingly told him what we had considered before hand. He then asked if he could have a look at our vehicle so he could do an appraisal on it. As before, we thought, "Sure, why not?" Letting our guard down, we handed over our keys as the salesman left the office for around 10 minutes. We whispered quietly to each other and wondered if this guy had forgotten what we had said off the top. The salesman then came back to us with a deal he said "we couldn t refuse.". His polite, laidback demeanor from earlier began to recede and a pushy jerk was now across the desk from us. We reiterated our hesitance to make a purchase that day and said that we were simply not interested at the moment. The salesman, a younger fellow who actually reminded us of one of our good friends, left the room again. What happened next I ll never forget. As we were about to sneak out of the office to escape the increasingly uncomfortable situation while the shape-shifting salesman was out, we realized we didn t have our keys.
