When you are buying your next car, you should make sure that you are getting the best value. It seems like salespeople are just nagging you so you'll spend far too much on a vehicle. However, it can be done, and you just have to learn what to do.

Research the car you have chosen online before making the trip to the dealership. Do not visit a dealership until you know which car you are interested in purchasing. Check online to find out more about all the cars you want to learn about, dealerships and brands, too.

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.

Take into consideration the overall price that you are going to pay. The dealer can set the monthly payments at any amount, but this will extend your terms, resulting in a very high purchase price. Instead, think about getting the best price you can on the full price, as well as the financing. From there, look into the monthly cost.

You should always test drive your vehicle before buying it. No matter how perfect the car looks, you must test drive it. You need that hands-on experience. For example, you might discover that there are handling issues or that the car is noisy or bumpy.

Put in the needed time to research any individual dealer prior to entering negotiations. You will be able to get a better negotiating standpoint if you are aware of their trade in practices and financing options. You can avoid being taken advantage of by reading over reviews from other customers.

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.

Now that you've read the above article, you know how to better handle salesman and how to properly shop for a car. The goal here is to become knowledgeable about car shopping. The more you know about cars and dealerships, the better off you'll be. Keep this advice in mind and get yourself started on the right path.
