You may have had stressful car buying experiences in the past that are intimidating. You need to learn how to properly negotiate. You do not have to settle.

Before you leave to buy a car, you have to know certain things about what you need. How much can you afford? How many passengers do you need to drive around? How many miles to the gallon are you interested in? Do you want a car with two or four doors? Make a list of everything you want, and take that list along so you can remember everything.

You should not buy a used car without having a good third-party mechanic look at it first. If they say no, leave. A mechanic will be able to give you an impartial opinion and alert you to any warning signs such as evidence of a wreck or being flooded.

Discuss cars with people in your life that you trust. Are they pleased with their own vehicles? Are they sorry they purchased the vehicle? Have they heard anything interesting about current models? When you are looking for a new vehicle, keeping your ear to the ground is a great way to do some starting research in your hunt.

Speak with knowledgeable people before you go car shopping. Your friend can listen for things you might have missed and they can give you advice if they think you shouldn't buy the car you are looking at. This person can be anyone, from a family member to a close friend.

If the car you are driving now is expensive, don't drive it to the dealership. They will look at the car and refuse any lowball offers you make, This is only acceptable if the car you arrive in is going to be something you are trading in.

Don't discuss trade-ins, incentives or down payments before negotiating a base price. These will be removed from that bottom line price. You will get a better price by negotiating the deal first, and then discussing these "extras".

Never show up at the dealership driving a luxury vehicle. The salesman may take one look at your fancy ride and refuse any low-ball offer you make. If you are looking to trade the vehicle in, this does not apply.

Before you go shopping for a new or used car, assess your budget. You must know exactly what your maximum is. Determine how much you'll be able to spend on a monthly car payment. It's also a great idea to look around for loans prior to getting a car.

Many people find car shopping to be harrowing. Car shopping can be a fun experience if you take the time beforehand to learn about the process. Each tip you've just read will help you to get along in the process.
