  • Do Your Research Online: While test drives are invaluable, conducting thorough research online can help you narrow down your options and save time at the dealership. Read car reviews, compare specifications, and familiarize yourself with different configurations. Taking detailed notes beforehand will make you a more informed buyer.
  • Confirm Availability and Pricing: Use MotorVero to verify that the exact model and configuration you want are available on the lot. You can also obtain an upfront price offer from the dealer, including all fees. Contact the dealership via email or phone to confirm availability and iron out as many details as possible.
  • Inspect the Car Over Video Chat: While in-person inspections are ideal, digital alternatives can be just as effective. Utilize video calling services like FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, or Skype to inspect your chosen vehicle remotely. Many dealers are happy to accommodate this request to ensure your safety.

  • Use Online Tools for Loans and Credit: Financing can be time-consuming at the dealership. Save time by getting pre-approved online. Many dealerships offer online loan applications, allowing you to complete much of the process from home. You can also apply for financing through your bank or credit union. If approved, inform your dealer, as they may offer a more competitive interest rate.
  • Ask About Vehicle Delivery: The demand for delivery services has surged in recent times, and car dealerships are no exception. Many dealers now offer home delivery for new vehicle purchases as part of the Buy from Home option. This service includes the delivery of your car and all necessary paperwork, ensuring a seamless and contactless experience.
  • Check Dealership Safety Procedures: Before visiting a dealership, inquire about their safety protocols. Many dealerships have implemented enhanced sanitation measures, such as disposable barriers on high-contact areas like steering wheels and door handles. Some are also limiting the number of people in the showroom to ten or fewer. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after your visit to further minimize risk.
  • Connect with Your Dealer: Once you’ve finalized pricing and financing details, schedule an appointment to sign the paperwork and pick up your new car. Many dealers are also offering video conference calls and delivery services to accommodate buyers during these challenging times.
