BUYING YOUR FIRST NEW CAR

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO
BUYING YOUR FIRST NEW CAR

Buying your first car is an exciting time. You probably have a lot of questions and concerns such as:

 Where should I begin looking?
 Which car should I buy?
 How much money should I put down?
 What are my financing options?
 How much can I spend per month on a car payment?  When test driving a car, what should I be looking for?  Should I take someone with me when I visit a dealership?  How do I know I am getting a fair deal?
 Where do I find car insurance?
 What is included in a loan agreement?
 Are there web sites I can turn to for more information?  What about leasing options?

You are not alone. Each year, thousands of people, like you, decide to buy a new car. There are many reasons to purchase a new car. You may have just graduated from college, you may need to trade in your used car for a more reliable one, or you need a car to get to work each day. Whatever the reason, buying a new car can be intimidating if you do not know much about cars or the car buying process.

One way to learn more about cars is by reading about them online. You will be able to compare styles, prices, and other features. Knowing a new car’s wholesale value will make it much easier when negotiating with salespeople at a dealership. The wholesale price of a car is how much the manufacturer is charging before dealers add on commission fees, tax, tags, registration fees, and delivery fees. While you should expect there to be some mark-up, you can still talk the price down to suit your needs.
In this book, you will learn:

 How to find your dream car
 Where to find financing
 How to choose a salesperson
 How to negotiate a price
 Learn when to walk away from something if it seems too good to be true.  Learn what to look for when test driving a new car
 Where to find car insurance
 And more.

Unfortunately, there are car dealerships that are less reputable than others. They will try to sell their cars to you for more than what they are worth because you are a first time car buyer. By being savvy, taking your time, and using some of the tips in this book, you will be able to buy your new car with confidence.

The first step is to consider your financial situation. Are you able to:
 Afford a monthly car payment?  Insurance?
 Taxes?
 Gas?

You need to have a plan before beginning your car search. How much money can you afford to spend each month? What about your other bills? These are important questions that you must answer before moving forward. The next step after you have determined how much you will be able to spend, is to consider the type of vehicle you will need. Do you need a:

 Truck?
 Car?
 Mini-Van?
 Does your job depend on any specific type of vehicle?

While most people will be using their car as a means of transporting themselves and other people, some people need specific types of cars because they have jobs that require them to haul equipment and travel long distances.

The third step is to look at additional features and options such as leather seating, fog lights, tire size, and audio systems. Some of these features are standard, while others are optional.

The fourth step is to inspect the car inside and out. This means seeing how it performs on a test drive, how easy it is to find controls, and how well the air, heat, and defrost controls work. You should also inspect the outside of the car to make sure there aren’t any dents or scratches.
