Summary of Shopping for a New Car

Buying a car is sometimes like shopping for groceries. If you don’t have it planned out in advance, you can end up buying more than you really wanted or needed.

Given that a car depreciates in value right after leaving the lot, you want to make sure you get your money’s worth. Learn the best tactics for getting the best deal. Start your search even before you are ready to begin looking. Estimate the costs of ownership. New buyers are often pressured to buy more than they really need, and thus they may get stuck with a vehicle that they eventually owe more on that it is worth.
