After you have added up the options that are important to you, review the packages each car manufacturer is offering. Packages are groups of commonly requested features bundled together and offered for as much as 20 percent less than the options cost when bought independently. Manufacturers will convert options to packages when possible. However, knowing this ahead of time makes your estimated costs more accurate. Strike your deal.
Research done, it's time to hit the road.
Visit dealers and test drive a few of your options. Make a point of talking to one of the dealership's commercial sales representatives. Not only will these folks be able to advise you better about the best type of vehicle for you purposes, they are also more aware of special deals for commercial accounts. For instance, manufacturers offer their commercial customers free upgrades or special accessory package deals on shelving or tools. You'll need to bring an occupational or business license along to take advantage of these freebies.
