Few people actually enjoy having to buy a new car. It is fun to get behind the wheel of a new car, but picking one out can be hard, and finagling a good deal can be time consuming. By following the tips in this article, you can take the misery out of car shopping and turn it into a more enjoyable experience.

What do you want out of your new car? How much can you afford to spend? How many people do you have to have fit inside your car? How many miles per gallon would you like? Do you want a two door or a sedan? Make a list of what you want, and bring it along to keep your memory refreshed.

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.

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.

Do not go car shopping alone. They can be an extra set of ears, along with being more reasonable about leaving when hearing a deal that doesn't benefit you. This company could be your life partner, a best friend or a trusted family member.

Get recommendations from family and friends with regard to their vehicles. Are they happy with the car choices they made? Do they have any tips for you? Do they know of a car that's really good? When you are shopping for a vehicle, this initial information will be useful to you.

Remember to consider fuel economy when deciding on your budget for buying a car. As an example, you may want to buy a car with enough power to tow a boat behind it. But you must consider if you need this feature since it has a lot more horsepower than a regular car.

Try planning car shopping trips near the end of a month. Most salespeople have some monthly quotas to meet and they might try generating more sales during the last week of the month to meet their quotas. When the month is coming to an end, the person that's selling cars may not have met their quota quite yet. This means they may be willing to give you a better deal in the end.

You should not expect to necessarily walk away from a dealership with a vehicle. Checking local papers, listings and smaller vehicle lots may hold the key to finding the car you want without having to pay a big price. You should use your newspaper or sales pad to find a car from a private owner.

Do you feel better about the car buying process? Hopefully, you feel more secure in your abilities as a result of this article. You don't have to just take the salesperson's word for it anymore. This knowledge empowers you and puts the control back in your hands.
