Buying A New Car Can Be Easy And Affordable

By Dustin Froman

So you are ready to purchase a brand new car, but aren't sure how to go about getting the best deal. Well, here is some inside information that will help keep you from getting ripped off at the dealership.

Your first step should be to decide what make and model of car you would like. Go to the manufacturer's website and check out all options available for the car you want. These websites also will tell the MSRP or Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Never pay this price! You can almost always get a better deal.

Checking out similar cars from other manufacturers is also a good idea. You might find a less expensive car with better features or you might find that the car you love is truly the best deal. Also be sure to check out the consumer ratings on the car you wish to purchase, as well as the gas mileage and registration costs. Make sure everything fits into your budget.

If you want to trade in your old car, don't just take whatever the dealer hands out. Do a little research first. Find out the Blue Book value of your car. Visit used car dealerships and find out what they would pay. This can help you add value to your trade in.

There are several things you should bring with you when you negotiate a new car purchase. Make sure you have all the information about your trade-in handy, so you can show the dealer you did your research. Because credit reporting agencies will lower your credit score the more companies request your report, bring your own credit report. You can request this information and it does not affect your score at all. In addition, it is a good idea to bring your own pen, paper and calculator. That way you can write down all the information for yourself and do your own calculations. This is a big purchase, so come prepared.

If you would really like to learn insider car buying tricks - tips that the dealers don't want you to know and that can save you $1000s off your next new car purchase -- go to the Car Buying Insider site. Using these insider secrets, you will never pay close to MSRP and can save thousands off the sticker price.
