First
Know What You Can Afford, Want And Need in a Car.
Some
people may have saved enough money to be able to pay cash for a new
car. Others may have to finance the purchase.
Equal
Your
Bargaining Leverage
Once
you decide on the type of car you need, it is time to do your research
and narrow down the choices of vehicles available. Our web site will
provide comparison information on vehicles and provide unbiased information.
You can also find up-to-date car buying information at your local
library.
Reliability
A
number of sources compare maintenance costs on vehicles and have compiled
information about repairs that are likely with particular models.
Remember
that if you buy a "lemon" that needs constant repairs, you
may be protected by "lemon laws" in your state. The car
manufacturer may be required to refund your money or repair the vehicle.
Maintain a file of every repair order, receipt, and letter of complaint.
Warranties
Compare
each car's warranty coverage, which may vary widely among car manufacturers.
Consider the length of the warranty, mileage limits, and deductibles.
Some cars have basic warranties which cover the entire vehicle, while
others have limited warranties.
Some
General Features
Consider
your particular needs when analyzing different vehicles. For instance,
if you need a lot of trunk space for hauling groceries, baseball equipment,
or boxes of supplies for your office, choose models with larger trunks.
