When automotive shopping goes online
March 14 2020,
While provincial dealerships are on forced shutdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, many buyers in search of a new vehicle will have more time to browse online for their next purchase. If you are one of these consumers, know that there are more and more options available online and it’s even possible to complete the entire purchase from start to finish from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Research first
Whether online or not, buying a car isn’t something you do on a whim. This is a large expense that requires a fair amount of research. By scrutinizing road tests and comparative matches carried out by experts and published online, you can get a clear idea on the models best suited to meet your needs ... and your budget.
Then configure
After your research, the time has come to take the next step by customizing the model of your choice to your liking. Using a configurator available on your dealer site, you can choose the options you like, define the color, etc. The configurator will then offer you a price according to your choices.
Then order
If you're ready to purchase, just analyze the payment options and choose the one that works best for you. Then allow three to four months for the vehicle you configured to be delivered. It could also be delivered sooner if the vehicle you configured is in stock.
