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.

Speak with your loved ones to see if they've heard anything good. How do they like the cars they own? Perhaps they regret their choice? Do they know something you do not know about a particular car? When you are shopping for a vehicle, this initial information will be useful to you.

If you're shopping for a used car, try to have it inspected by a mechanic not from the dealership. If a dealer refuses, shop somewhere else. A mechanic that is good can give you an opinion on what is wrong with your vehicle, like what's been wrecked on it and then repaired.

Before you go out and look at cars, line up your financing. This can be done at your credit union or bank. This will generally help you get the lowest possible interest rate, and you will go into the car buying process with your eyes wide open with respect to your budget.

Establish a car buying budget before you go to the dealership. You should never purchase a vehicle if you cannot really afford it. Remember, they won't be paying for it, you will.

Don't take it for granted that the sticker price is the lowest you'll pay. The salesperson knows they are not going to get that much when they sell the car. When you need help with negotiating, ask a loved one to come along. Know the amount you can reasonably spend, as well as the fair market value, prior to heading to the dealership.

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.

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.

Now that you have read this article, you are more prepared than even when it comes to shopping for a new car. Start by doing your research. If you don't feel comfortable with your purchase, walk away from the deal.
