AN expert mechanic has shared a secret he says car salesmen don't want people to know.<\/p>\n
Scotty Kilmer, who has been in the motors game for more than five decades, said the tip could save car hunters thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mechanic claimed that waiting until the end of the month to buy a new vehicle from a yard could help you barter a salesman down. <\/p>\n
He said it could make around \u00a32,000 difference. <\/p>\n
Scotty said the salesmen could drop the price tag because they don't own the cars – they set costs based on how much the owe the banks. <\/p>\n
He revealed the money saving tip on Tiktok. <\/p>\n

In the clip the mechanic said: "Here's something you might not know about buying new cars – the dealers don't actually own them. <\/p>\n
"They're just like you, they have to pay monthly notes on the cars and they borrow the money from a bank. <\/p>\n
"Many salesman have quotas and by the end of the month they have to sell a certain amount of cars and if they don't they can get the boot. <\/p>\n
"So they'll sell at the end of month better deals just to meet them. <\/p>\n
