Re: first car buying tips

Just make sure you find something that you want. Don't let any sales person talk you into something just because they want to get rid of it! Make sure to check it over real well or have a mechanic take a look so you don't drive it home and have many bad surprises!

Re: first car buying tips

there's no such thing as a car that's fast, cheap, AND reliable..pick your best 2 out of 3. It'll be really hard to find something fast for under $4k, so you might want to look into getting something with good mod potential. i'm thinking a light import like a crx, integra, prelude or eclipse.

Want to purchase a new car but don’t have the enough money to buy it, don’t worry there are certain things you can do to buy that car and adjust to pay for it on monthly basis.

Always be aware don't tell the dealer how muck you want to spend on the high end , low ball him. There a lot to learn about buying your 1st or your 10th car. I found a video http://www.easi.info/new-car-buying/careeducator,inc, that tells you all about and gives you the do's and don'ts about car buying, you can find it at www.car educator.com, good luck, .
