Buy a Car Online

 

You’ve seen the commercials that portray car salespeople as someone you’d avoid, and promote how easy it is to buy a new or used car from an online company like Carvana®, Vroom® or other internet auto sites.

But the fact is, most traditional auto dealerships also offer online vehicle purchases and will deliver the car to your driveway. At Melloy Dodge on Coors in Albuquerque, our Online Shopper™ website offers an easy way to shop, compare your top vehicle picks, and select your financing and your monthly payment. As one of the largest Dodge and Ram dealerships in the southwestern United States, we handle a lot of car sales totally online! We’ll even deliver your new or used car or truck to your driveway (within 300 miles of Albuquerque) or if you live further away, we’ll arrange to ship your vehicle.

Three other things to think about if you’re considering buying a car online. The online car companies don’t have a direct relationship with the vehicle manufacturers like an authorized dealer like Melloy Dodge has. That means they have to purchase a new vehicle from a dealership, so there’s likely an extra cost to the vehicle in order for the online company to net any profit by selling you a car. You probably will pay a little more than if you bought from the local dealership!

If you do choose to shop at the local store, a Melloy Dodge sales associate will answer all your questions about the car or truck you’re interested in. They are required to pass testing to verify their knowledge of each model, and no, they’re not the pesky stereotype in TV commercials! You’ll also be able to test drive the new or used vehicle, something you can’t do if an online company delivers it to you once you’ve completed the purchase.

Also, your new vehicle will have a factory warranty. Dodge offers a 5-year/60,000 mile powertrain limited warranty; RAM is 3-year/36,000 mile. If you buy from an online-only seller, you’ll still need to visit a local dealership for automotive service or any needed warranty work. When you purchase the vehicle from the local dealer instead, you’ll already know how to contact them for service and potentially receive money-saving service offers during the purchase process.

The idea of buying a car online is fun and it may save you time. Your local dealer, like Melloy Dodge in Albuquerque, can offer the same easy, time-saving, online purchase but may also save you more on the price of your vehicle!
