Volume 1. Buying a Car Basics
Chapter 1. Buying a New Car
Buying a Car 1
Over the years, I've read at least twenty articles and books which talked about buying cars. Not one says to buy a new car. They say buy a used, late model one from a dealer that doesn't specialize in that type of car because they want to get rid of it.
Most new car dealers also sell slightly used cars of the same model as their new ones. You'll save thousands of dollars buying one of these rather than a new one.
Car values depreciate quickly. The best deal is probably buying a two to three year-old used car with a service warranty.
Do not buy a more expensive car or a bigger one than what you realistically need. Do your research in advance, pick your car in advance then go to negotiate for the best price with the car dealers.
Beware that car magazines are in business to promote cars and get a lot of money for ads so don't trust their car ratings tests. Trust only objective tests like those done by Consumer Reports, consumerreports.org.
Sell your extra cars.
Keep your cars longer.
Use a bike or a bus around the city.
Buy used instead of new.
Don't get stupid options on the car like rustproofing and fabric protection which are spozed to be there already.
Don't buy extended service contracts.
Ask about their demo cars for a bargain price.
Watch out for rip-offs with used cars.
Sell your old car privately rather than at the car lot but be wary when placing a classified ads. Criminals sometimes use these ads to find victims they can rob on the pretense that they want to check your car out.
