Crown Acura in Clearwater, FL

Serving Clearwater, Tampa, Largo, St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor, FL

When you plan to shop for a new vehicle, your experience should be pleasant and meaningful. Crown Acura in Clearwater, FL provides countless vehicles to meet your expectations. Our staff consistently delivers world class customer service and is ready to present you with an unforgettable car buying experience, without the presence of shopping myths. Here are the top five myths regarding the purchase of a new car:

  1. Myth: Extended warranties are unnecessary and overpriced.

    Extended warranties are not merely a way for the dealership to make more money. When you opt for an extended warranty, you are protecting yourself and your vehicle. At Crown Acura, we want to ensure you have the coverage necessary to drive safely at all times. An extended warranty is a great way to secure your investment and save you money in the long run. You will surely spend less on the warranty than the excess costs you must pay for a repair without the warranty. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have about warranties.

  2. Myth: You’ll receive the best deal on a rainy day or at the end of the month.

    The myth here is the car salesman is under pressure to meet a monthly quota, and arriving at the dealership on a rainy day or at the end of the month will grant you a better deal. Since many people believe this sentiment, you will not only come to a crowded dealership, but you will notice the best deals were already offered and no longer valid. Rain, unfortunately, does not motivate the car salesmen to make a sale. We want your shopping experience to be a pleasure, so we encourage you to stop by our dealership in Clearwater at any time during the month, rain or shine.

  3. Myth: Financing through the car dealer is more expensive than outside financing.

    Many dealerships have relationships with local banks to assist you with financing your ideal vehicle. Outside financing does not necessarily save you money since the dealer can finance at a competitive rate. Additionally, you can take advantage of incentives brought to you by the manufacturer when you finance through the car dealer. Crown Acura offers numerous specials to help you afford your favorite Acura model.

  4. Myth: Avoid purchasing a first year model.

    This myth dates back to the 1970’s when car recalls occurred more frequently. Today, manufacturers test car parts extensively before developing and selling new vehicles. Every car, including first year models, are checked for proper reliability protocols prior to entering a dealer’s showroom. All of our Acura models are prepared to supply you with a serene and sheltered journey.

  5. Myth: There is always a secret lower price.

    Many people believe they can haggle their way down to the lowest possible price, but this is simply not the case. A car salesman cannot negotiate a price lower than the invoice- they do not have the authority to do so. Cars are marked at a specific price due to their remarkable standard convenience and safety features. Our employees at Crown Acura can help you find the perfect vehicle for your budget, so visit us today to test drive any vehicle of your choice!
