How to Buy a Car

How to Buy a Car

October 8, 2010 by Justin

Buying a first car can be a scary experience!  If you are like me, I knew a lot about the cars I liked.  I could spot one of them at 50 yards.  Buying a car requires much more!  What is the right car for you?  What is important in the car you purchase?  How will the car be used?  Do you need good gas mileage, room for 6, truck or a SUV? Things like color, engine size, accessories and condition all affect the price of the car.  First you need to figure out how much you can spend.  How much cash do you have?  Do you need a loan?  First cars should probably be used and paid with cash.  Now you can begin your research to find out what you can buy.  The Internet is an excellent resource for that.  You can find out what the car is worth and approximately what would be a fair price.  When buying a used car, you would want to have a mechanic look it over to avoid any serious mistakes.  Also, you may want to have someone who is more experienced to go with you to buy it.

Now that you are familiar with what you should do when you buy a car, stick with it.  Buying a car can be an emotional decision!  That is what the salesman is counting on.  If you stick with the things that are important to you and resist borrowing money, you will end up with a car you really want.  Good Luck!  If you like this article, please subscribe.
