Car shopping often is a tedious process, because it involves looking at a ton op options and talking to car salesman, who ant to sell you any car more then they want you to have a car, that actually is suited for your needs. So here are some tips regarding body language, that you can use to ensure that you have the best car shopping experience and that you buy a car that is perfect for you for the cheapest possible price.

First let’s start with your own body language. One of the common mistakes many car shoppers make is that their body language seems negative and uninviting, often even without realizing it. If you aren’t smiling, and yo are sporting a unimpressed or skeptical facial expression and have very closed body language, it not only won’t help you find a car but also will turn off any car salesmen, who maybe could help you but a vehicle. Body language can be an even better indicator as to what we think or how we feel than facial expressions or actual words, and people tend to understand and interpret body language without even noticing, that they are doing, so next time you are looking for new car, smile more, seem interested in what sales person opposite you is saying even if you actually don’t care what comes out of his or her mouth and keep you body language open. This will help you interact with the car salesmen better and therefore can result into better purchase, too.

Many people don’t like talking about money and therefore price and also don’t like bargaining. But bargaining and being straight forward about price of the car can often lead to better price of a car or extra amenities. So to make sure that you appear confident when you are bargaining or talking about money, lean forward if you are sitting or stand straight with relaxed shoulders if you are standing up. This kind of body language will send a message that you are confident and therefore that the person opposite to you really should take you seriously, which can result in better offer from them.

As for the body language of others, keep a look out for things like crossing arms, avoiding eye contact, leaning back, changing voice tone or increased blink rate. These usually are signs that the person, who is sporting these body language signs probably withholding information and is not really interested in talking to you. Pay attention to these signs especially when you are talking about topics like the price of the car or the condition of the car, since the body language can tell you weather you are getting the best deal and the whole information on the condition of the car you are looking to buy.
