Top Tips And Expert Advice For Shopping For Your Next Car

By Andrew Morgan


Buying a brand new car is one of the best feelings in the world.
However, that feeling can quickly turn ugly if your car gives you a
headache a few short weeks after you purchase it. Use the advice given
in this article to ensure that you make a wise selection when buying
your next car.

The car industry makes money on any margin of profit. If you can find
out how much the dealership is generally buying their cars for, it
will make it much easier to find their bottom line. This means you
need to do some research on your local car market.

A dealer with a great reputation may offer you a better deal than one
which advertises great prices. You may find that a dealer who people
like to buy from offers perks which aren't available elsewhere,
including reduced pressure sales tactics and lower overall price due
to freebies thrown in to the sale.

Only use reviews on the internet as a general guide. A lot of people
when they have problems with a car will post negative reviews on the
internet. So look at all the reviews for common problems as opposed to
a general ranking. If there is a problem with a major component, then
probably find a different vehicle.

Do you want to buy new or used? There are certain situations that
might make it better for you to buy new, but if your budget does not
allow for it, there are great used deals as well. Learn about
warranties and rebates on both new and used before you begin shopping.

When buying a compact or subcompact car, make sure that it has enough
room for each person who will drive it. The car may be your daily
driver, but it may not have enough leg room for others in your
household. If there is a chance that someone else will drive the car
occasionally, bring them along while shopping.

When trying to determine your budget for a new car, don't just look at
the sticker price. Rather, you should look a the total cost of owning
that particular car. Some models cost a lot more to own than others so
always keep this in mind when trying to decide which car to choose.

Get every offer, including fees, rebates, financing and terms, in
writing and then compare them all. This lets you compare apples to
apples, viewing the options on paper side by side. If you don't get it
in writing, you may not be able to hold them to their offer later
either.

Know your limits. Before you start shopping for your next car or
truck, decide how much you can afford to pay, and stick to it. Don't
forget to include interest in your calculations. You can expect to pay
around 20 percent as a down payment as well, so be prepared.

Research the value of your trade-in. Not only do you need to research
the best price for the new car you would like to purchase, but you
also need to know how much your trade-in is worth. Do your homework
and find out the retail and wholesale values of your trade-in. Aim to
get the retail value from the dealer.

You should now have a better idea of what it takes to buy a car that
you can be happy with for years to come. Make sure to implement the
advice given so that you don't end up making a purchase you regret.
With a little patience and information, you can end up with a
wonderful car!
