Negotiation is a skill that brings a buyer and a seller to an agreed term where the price of a product suits both. However, not everyone may possess this essential quality. Hence, we are enlisting some tips to help you hone your negotiation skills to use them while buying a new bike at the best price.
With some bargaining skills, reaching an agreeable price to favor both the buyer and the seller is possible. Take a look at the various tips that you may follow to get the best deal while purchasing a new bike:
While the process of negotiation is important, you must pay attention to the pre-negotiation steps. The first crucial pre-negotiation consideration is the budget or the amount you have considered spending on your bike. Note that there will be some added costs like GST, registration, insurance, and maintenance that come with a new bike.
It is quite easy to get swayed or confused when you have several options within your price bracket. Thus, it is better to get good research done in advance to choose the best options you are looking at. The research will help you narrow down your choices regarding bikes and dealers.
Once you reach this stage, it means that you have already figured out/shortlisted the best bikes. So, the next thing is to call the dealers seeking bike quotations for the models you have shortlisted. However, do not make any hurried decisions. Remember to compare quotes before choosing the apt one.
This is the final stage when you can use your negotiation skills to the best of your ability. Once you have the quotes from all known dealers, that’s when the actual process of negotiation starts. Look for details like real-time comparison of bike offers, or look for the same model in different locations. Also, consider the shipping and transportation charges and so on. If not priced, you can negotiate on complimentary services, added gear, etc.
Just note that your offer should not be below the actual value of the bike. You may look for festive offers and sales to avail discounts on MRP. Also, paying in cash can get you some added deals. So, get it checked with the dealer.
If the two-wheeler you plan to buy is in high demand, it may not offer any concession. In that case, you may wait a while to expect a discount once the demand is low.
Use the above tips and more to negotiate on your new bike price. Remember to stay firm on your words and decisions.
