This One Phone Call Could Save You Hundreds Of Dollars
American consumers take car shopping very seriously in order to get the best deal. However, there is one piece of research that is often overlooked, but could save us hundreds of dollars per year. If we call our insurance company for a free rate quote on the model we like before buying the car we can avoid the surprise of a big change in our premium.
Car Shopping An Olympic Sport? We spend a lot of time shopping around for cars. We hunt online to narrow down which models we like. We look up prices of cars on research web sites like Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book or Consumer Reports. We order a CarFax to ensure a used car doesn't have any major skeletons in the closet. We hunt for deals on Craig's List and other used car classified sites. We arrive at a car lot armed with our research and intensely negotiate every penny with a dealer before agreeing on a price. So why don't we typically make that one little phone call which can also save us hundreds of dollars per year?
One Phone Call To Make Before Buying Car dealers are not willing to negotiate price on brand new car models because in most cases, demand exceeds supply. Even if you pay sticker price for a new model, there may still be an additional hidden cost that you don't learn about until it is too late. Before buying a vehicle, do your homework to find out what the insurance will cost. You can use a free insurance rate comparison service or call your own agent.
Hidden Cost Of New Car Models Newer car models sometimes have higher insurance premiums because there is no history or track record yet for that specific vehicle type. For example, the Lexus HS250 hybrid, introduced in 2009, has insurance rates higher than a Lexus IS350 which is a much faster car. However, the IS350 has been around for a number of years so insurance companies have some actual data to use to help determine insurance rates. The less sporty hybrid has special engine parts which have no performance track record so insurance companies protect themselves by charging a higher insurance premium in case there is an unexpected surge of insurance claims from this group of cars. Although in general sporty cars tend to command higher insurance premiums due to the risk of high speed accidents and speeding tickets, remember that brand new car models can be assigned a higher risk pool too.
Insurance Rate Risk On Used Cars Bloated insurance rates are not reserved for new car models. Even used cars with track records can result in surprisingly high insurance premiums. For example, some models have notoriously high rates of either being stolen or requiring a lot of maintenance. Your insurance will cost more for these models so it benefits you to use free services to comparison shop for rates before signing a contract to buy a vehicle.
