When browsing inventory from automotive dealerships you have more than likely come across vehicles labelled "Dealer Demo", "Executive Demo" or "Exposure Demo" under a dealership's new vehicle inventory listed online.
For those wondering "demo" is short for demonstrator. A dealer demonstrator vehicle is a vehicle driven solely by dealership employees for advertising purposes around the surrounding area. Employees drive a New vehicle for a set amount of time or KM reading and then jump into a different new vehicle to drive.
You now may be asking yourself why someone would buy a "new" vehicle that has already been driven by somebody. Today we're going to share with you 5 reasons why you should always look into buying a dealer demo when considering a new vehicle.
One thing you will never have to worry about is the condition that you will be getting your demo in. All dealer demonstrator vehicles are treated with the upmost of care by staff who are responsible for keeping the vehicle looking brand new at all times.
Staff that are driving these vehicles are professionals in the automotive field and know the proper way to take care of a vehicle.
You will never have to worry about purchasing a dealer demonstrator vehicle that has a lot of KMs. Most dealerships have a cap on how many KMs can be put on a vehicle under their "Exposure Program". Typically you will see a lot of dealer demo vehicles sell with 3000-6000 KM on the vehicle.
This allows you to never lose that "New Car Smell".
The best part about buying a dealer demo is the heavy discounts you get on the vehicle for doing so. Dealerships will discount their dealer demos by thousands of dollars depending on the amount of KMs of the odometer.
This is normally the number one reason why people elect to go with a dealer demo over a ordinary new vehicle.
In addition to already getting an "exposure discount" on the vehicle, your dealer demo is also eligible for all of the same new vehicle incentives that an ordinary new vehicle would receive.
You can take advantage of financing, lease, and cash offers on your desired vehicle.
Finally, the 5th reason you should consider buying a dealer demo is simple - because you will still be the very first owner of the vehicle. Demos are never registered to an owner when being driven by dealership staff.
You will still get all of the satisfaction of being the very first owner of the vehicle.
