Dealerships are starting to sell “demonstrator” cars, also known as “demo cars”, on a regular basis. These demo vehicles are cars that have been driven by the managers or car salesmen, but they’re still considered legally new. If a vehicle’s never been properly registered, then it’s still considered a new vehicle. Once it’s been registered, then it’s still a used car legally and its future value could be reduced, along with any mileage or wear and tear.
Demo cars are also vehicles that have been used for test drives by customers that were interested in possibly buying the car. These cars might even have a significant amount of miles on them, so it’s best that you check for any wear and tear, previous damage and other facts that will affect the value and quality of the car.
If you’re interested in a demo car, you can always make an offer that’s below the regular retail price. Consider a deal like this if you’re particularly interested in getting a great car that’s never been used, but still driven a little. It’s like getting a car in limbo and you can often get pretty good deals on them, sometimes better than used cars, plus they’ll probably be in better condition.
This is one of the best buyers’ markets in the world, with dealer inventory overflowing. So, there are a lot of financing and cash incentives and dwindling sales, which means that there is room for negotiation. Don’t be afraid to threaten to walk away if you don’t get the price you want.
In addition to negotiating the price down, you can also get some generous discounts on demo cars. A demo car will look brand new and it might only have a few hundred miles on it. Since these cars are often considered new, they’ll qualify for all special financing, rebates and the new car warranty.
A demo car is better than a used car as it might not have as much damage on it from other drivers. It has usually been driven far less and in better circumstances, than used cars, and you might want to consider it if you want to save a pretty penny and not have a car that’s as bad as a used car. If you don’t want to fork over the money for a new car, the demo car route might be the best route for you. It’s somewhere in the middle of both.
