1. Going Car Shopping? Try These Helpful Tips!
Start by following all of the advice here on your road to success.
Ask if you can have an independent mechanic do an inspection. The mechanic you're cool
with should be fairly trustworthy. You should not use one that the dealer employs. The
mechanic should tell you whether it can be driven and if it's a good enough deal for the price.
Before visiting a dealership, call in advance to find out whether or not your preferred make
and model vehicle is on the lot. If you just drive there, the salesman's job is to just get you to
buy a car. But, if your heart is set on a particular car that they do not currently have on-site,
you do not need to waste your time. Calling ahead can save you time.
Few things are as exciting and overwhelming as the process of trying to find a new vehicle.
You can do much of your shopping online. Many websites offer side by side comparisons of
various vehicles. This helps you narrow down your choices, which can save you both time
and money.
Have a few certain models in mind before you head out to a car dealer. Do research online
before you shop to find out what type of vehicle is best suited for your family and budget. You
will also find out what it will cost, so you won't get scammed by a salesperson that is trying to
trick you.
Ask your colleagues at work, or your relatives, about their experience with car dealerships.
See if they are happy with the one they used. Ask them about specific things, like how the
car they purchased was six months later. When many people recommend the same lot, add
it to your list.
A good way to figure out what kind of car is ideal for you is by attending an auto show. Auto
shows are great places to compare different cars to each other. Additionally, you have the
opportunity to be surrounded by car experts. You'll be able to leave the show with a much
better idea of what you are looking for.
If you are purchasing a used car, steer clear of warranties that force you to accept the current
condition of the car. You will probably regret that decision if you make it. At minimum, a
dealer should provide you with a warranty of 30-90 days upon purchasing any vehicle. If the
transmission or engine blows the day after you drive off the lot, you will be responsible for the
repair.
Try renting cars to get a better feel for the vehicle. Purchase these from car companies for a
short period of time to get a better overall feel. Take a trip with your loved ones, and spend
some time operating the vehicle. This will allow you to get a glimpse of what life would be like
with the car.

2. Be prepared to make concessions when negotiating for a car. Maybe you see cars with the
features you enjoy, but there just aren't any cars that have exactly what you want now.
Missing out on heated seats won't destroy your driving experience after all.
You should now have a better understanding of what sorts of things to look for in a new car.
