Given the plethora of available choices, car shopping can be quite daunting. How can you know what to get? Apply the advice in this piece the next time you look to purchase a car.

When you shop for a car, you need to figure out what you're looking for first. Do you have your budget in mind? How many people are you going to transport? What mileage are you looking for? Do you need four or two doors? Write down the features you want to avoid forgetting any.

You should be aware of what you want out of a car. Check online to determine which kind of vehicle is most suitable for you and your finances. Also, try to lock in a price range that you are willing to spend.

Look for safety features when you are purchasing a new car. The car should have ABS or anti-lock brakes. Air bags are also important. Safety is important because you are often in your car.

Test driving a car is essential. No matter if you have determined that your perfect car is already sitting on a dealer's lot, you still need to test it yourself. You need to feel the wheel under your hands and the road under your tires. Perhaps the car isn't quite as smooth as you thought.

Ask your family and friends about what they know about cars. Do they like their cars? Do they think the one they got isn't that great? What are they hearing in terms of cars they'd wish to have? When you are beginning your search for a new vehicle, this is a great way to obtain some initial information.

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".

Search the web if you want to buy a used car. You do not have to go to a dealership. Check Craigslist, eBay and classified sites. It is possible to get a great deal and sidestep the high pressure tactics of traditional dealers.

Request that the dealer allow you to have the car inspected by a mechanic. It should be one that you trust. Don't use a dealer mechanic. Your mechanic should tell you both whether the car runs well and whether it's priced appropriately.

Do you feel better now? This advice truly is priceless, and it will make your car shopping experience a good one. Share this article with loved ones so that everyone is happy.
