MOTORING NEWS - Buying a car is as much about building a rapport with your dealer as it is about a genuine interest in the vehicle you're about to buy. When you take delivery, spend time at your dealership. Asking certain questions will not only educate and empower you, but also alert your dealer to the fact that you're an interested, savvy customer. Start the relationship off on the right foot by coming in with curiosity and knowledge.
Suzuki gives some suggestions on questions to ask at this momentous time in your life when all you really want to do, is drive out of the showroom full of pride.
Can I meet the head of the service department?
Start this relationship off on a good note by taking interest.
Who should I phone after hours if my car breaks down?
For example, Suzuki Auto Rescue uses the Automobile Association (AA), so you'd be better off calling the AA directly.
Does the car have any hidden features?
You'd be surprised at some of the cool things your car can do!
What are the jacking points of my car?
Each car has different jacking points to lift the car up if there's a flat tyre.
Where is my jack?
It's a good idea to know where all these essentials are before you drive off.
Can I make an appointment to go through the car with you?
Set up an hour appointment with your dealer to go through the car thoroughly. The salesman wants to explain all the car's features. Most cars have cool tricks you should know, but people tend to rush this part of the process.
