looking to purchase a new car, you may wish to consider these
tips to get the most out of your purchase.
1. When to Shop - Planning when you will make your next
car purchase may save you money. Dealerships often offer
great deals towards the end of the year, when shopping slows
for the holiday season, and they are under pressure to set
year-end records. Similarly, July through October is usually
when dealerships offer discounts on last year’s model as they
prepare for new inventory.

3. Buying Your Next Car
• 2. Shopping Smart - Your car search should not start when you
first set foot inside the dealership, it should start at home, on the
Internet. Perhaps you know generally what you want and how much
you can afford, but, “I have $35,000 and want a truck” is not very
specific. Visit online buying guides, read reviews, and compare stats,
features and pricing between multiple cars, and even multiple
dealerships.
3. Test Drive - It may seem common sense to some that you should
test drive a new vehicle before purchase, but one of every six car
buyers foregoes test driving, all together. Of those who do a test
drive, many opt for a quick 10-minute drive around the block. While
you can do 90 percent of your research online and learn about the
car’s safety features, bells and whistles, and MPG, no amount of
online research will tell you how the car feels to you. MSN suggests
testing four to seven cars before deciding.
