Never buy a model that is out of your price range. Salespeople will try talking you into buying a luxury or a sports car by telling you this car corresponds to your personality. Remember, the more expensive the car, the more commission he or she will make.

Focus on the overall price, not the monthly price, in negotiations. The dealer can set the monthly payments at any amount, but this will extend your terms, resulting in a very high purchase price. That's why you need to look at the total price and the financing on that. Once you do this, determine how this will apply to you monthly.

Research any dealership you are considering before offering on a car there. If you already know about the trade in policies and financing types they offer, you'll be ahead of the game when it comes to negotiating. Also, learn from others, by reading any rip off or scam alerts about that dealership.

Always do a test drive of the car you want before buying it. It's important that you find out if the car drives properly, even if you've driven this exact model before. You might find that there are some small things that are not the same or that there is something wrong.

As family and friends for opinions. Are they happy with their purchases? Would they rather have a different model? Have they heard anything interesting from their friends and family? If you are getting ready to buy, this is one of the best ways to get started.

No matter what car you chose, test drive it first. No matter how perfect the car looks, you must test drive it. Nothing can substitute your actual experience with the car. If you are not comfortable with the ride, it may be time to look elsewhere.

If the car you own is fairly pricey, do not take that car with you when visiting a car dealership with the intent of making a purchase. No matter how good you are at negotiating, they will reject any lower offers you put forth. If you are going to trade in that nice car, then that is the only reason you would bring it with you.

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.
