Tips for Buying a New CarBy Art Gib One love-hate relationship most people have is the daunting task of buying a new car. To make this painful process easier, knowing the answers to the following questions will give you an edge and the confidence to know you can make the best deal. Be prepared before you go to the dealer. Do your homework online. There are many sites available to educate you about ratings, pricing, gas mileage, etc. Know your financial position. Check with banks and credit unions to see who is offering the best interest rates and deals for buying a new car. Dealerships will also have financing available, rather through the car manufactures or banks in which they have formed relationships. Dealer financing may be your best choice, but you won't know this unless you have checked other options. What can you afford to pay? One mistake many people make, is telling the salesperson how much per month you can afford. You need to keep this number to yourself. By sharing this information, you will surely come out owing at least the number you throw out or slightly more. To lease or to buy, this is a question you should consider and know the answer before you go to the dealership. Payments on a lease vehicle are usually less, but at the end of the term you don't own the vehicle, and the buy-out is more than you would pay for the car if you were to purchase it off the lot in an as is condition. If you plan to flip your car after every lease, then leasing may be the best option for you. Just realize there are usually hidden costs such as mileage due with leasing and re-leasing a vehicle. Are you going to want the extended warranty? Be prepared for this question and know if it is advantageous for you. It may be possible to have this financed as part of your payment, but is it something you really need? Make sure you know what it covers and understand any deductibles and other costs where you may be responsible. What Make and Model are you interested in purchasing? The more flexible you are, the more likely you are to pay less. There may be some last year models still on the lot. You can get these vehicles for a price much lower than the current year vehicles. The key is to know your options before you decide to purchase. Buying a new car is a big decision and it's worth spending a few hours researching your options and choosing what is right for you.
