How to Buy a Car

Vehicles are a big financial investment. You don't want to go into a car dealership and be suckered into an expensive deal with minimal features. Here's how you can work with a car salesman to get a good deal on a car.
Instructions
Step 1
Always test drive the vehicle if this is an option. You want to get a feel for the car so you know what you are buying.
Step 2
Don't just take what the salesman is offering. You can negotiate terms like additional vehicle features or more cash back. Its a give and take process, so don't be too rigid.
Step 3
Review your monetary situation and select a reasonable term and rate for financing the vehicle. You don't want too high of a note or too low, because interest will add up at a ridiculous rate.
Step 4
Compare prices at different dealerships. Don't just take the first deal you see, cause something better could be around the corner.
Step 5
Compare similar makes and models of vehicles. Some brands have better reputations than others, such as reliability and cheap vehicles.
