What to Look For When
Shopping For a New Car

• When shopping at a dealership, there are many
  factors to consider and important decisions to
  make. Because of the level of commitment involved
  in buying a new car, car shoppers will want to

What Do I Need From a Car?

• How many people will the car need to transport?
• What road conditions will it regularly be driving
  on?
• How often will I be driving it?
• How many miles per gallon do I need to get out of
  it?

• Answering these questions before you begin
  looking for a specific model will help you narrow

What Can I Afford?

• Buying a car is a large financial commitment, and
  purchasing one that is out of your price range
  can be disastrous for your long-term finances.
  Before you start looking for a car, figure out
  exactly what you can afford to spend on it. After
  you've figured out your maximum price level,
  search for cars that are priced below that
  number. Theres no reason to struggle every month
  paying off a vehicle you can barely afford.

What Can I Find Out About a Car Before Buying?

• There's a lot more to know about a car than its
  sticker price and paint job. Once you find a
  model that you're interested in, do as much
  research on it as possible. There are lots of
  resources for looking up information about your
  car online, and you should take advantage of them
  to make sure that all the car's features meet
  your needs.

Have I Given the Car a Test Drive?

• The internet is a great resource for getting lots
  of information on a car without having to set
  foot on a lot, but there's one very important
  thing it can't tell you how the car drives.
  Before committing to buy a car, always be sure to
  take it for a test drive. The perfect on-paper
  car may not handle how you want or expect, and
  the only way to know whether a car's driving
  style and features really work for you is to try
  them out yourself.

What Are My Financing Options?

• Taking out a loan to pay for your new car is one
  of the most important parts of the car buying
  process. Because it is something that will
  greatly affect your long-term finances, you want
  to be sure you choose an option that works for
  you. Discuss your options with both the
  dealership you visit and your financial
  institution, and secure the terms that are best
  for you.

Can I Get a Better Deal?

• Once you've found your car and secured your
  financing, there's still more for you to do.
  Don't assume that the first offer on the table is
  the best or only option available. Try to
  negotiate the best deal possible from the dealer,
  and don't be afraid to let the salespeople know
  that you're willing to look elsewhere if you feel
  like they won't work with you to get the best
  deal.
