Cars with the Best Tech Package

January 5, 2017

If you like new cars because of the latest safety and convenience technology they provide, then check out these two vehicles which were awarded Best Tech of 2017 by KBB.

The 2017 Honda Civic EX with Honda Sensing won in the Value Award, with a price under $23,000, while the 2017 Mercedes E-Class with Premium 3 Package won in the luxury category. See the list below, with features included in each vehicle.

As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices dealers are willing to offer.

3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money

The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:

Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network

Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).

Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect

TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.

Step 3 Complete my Checklist

Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.
