      How To Choose And Buy A Car

      When you set out to buy a car, the first thing you want to do is research. Determine what kind of car you want, starting from whether you want a car, a minivan, or an SUV. Do you want a hybrid

      or electric car? A hybrid car has an electric motor as well as a gas motor, which definitely makes them more fuel efficient than a regular gas car. An electric car runs off a fuel cell- there are many new buses that run off fuel cells.

      In choosing a car, you want to think about reliability, prestige, cargo space, and perhaps color. It really depends on what is important to you and what you need.

      When you go to the dealership keep in mind the kind of car you want. A dealer might try to steer you towards a more expensive version of the car, or even a different car altogether if you are

      not specific about what you want. Dealers do not always have your best interests in mind, but

      they do want you to be happy, so if you stay firm, you will get what you want.

      You may want to consider whether you want to lease or buy a car, a decision which really

      depends on how often you buy a new car. A used car may also be the best choice for you,

      especially considering how quickly cars depreciate. A car that has been leased for 6 months can

      be worth considerably less than the same model year car that has been sitting on the lot. A two

      year old car can be much less expensive, while still being under warranty, as well as having

      many of the kinks worked out and any recalls having been done.

      When Should You Buy A Car?

      You should buy a car before you desperately need one. This gives you time to research

      different makes and models, as well as allowing you to wait for incentive periods at the

      dealership. The internet may be an excellent resource for research.

      If you are buying a new car, or a car from a dealership, it can be good to go car shopping

      around when the new models are coming into the dealership. The next year’s models often

      come into the dealership any time between August and November, and dealers will be trying to

      clear this year’s models.

      On a regular basis, it can be best to head to the dealership on a day when you have a lot of

      time. The negotiations can take a lot of time, and you don’t want to feel rushed. A day in the

      middle of the week will be quieter at the dealership, and a salesperson may feel more pressure

      to get your sale, because they have fewer customers available.

      You may also want to head out to the dealership towards the end of the month. Dealers keep

      track of their monthly sales, and often have monthly goals and targets. A salesperson may be

      willing to make less of a profit on a car in order to meet a certain target of sales.

      You do not necessarily have
