The make and model make a difference
The reason why people drive cars is to get to and from someplace, whether it
is work or the supermarket, a car is a form of transportation not a status symbol.
This is where some people make their first mistake, they do not buy a car based
on price or on performance they decide on a make and model before even shopping
around. When you are buying a car you should be asking How many miles does it
get to the gallon not Does it comes in powder blue. Choose a car based on performance
and size. If you are a single person is a SUV necessary just as a mother of
three is not going to buy a Saturn Coupe.
Keep the options to a minimum
When you buy a car, most people are willing to pay extra for air conditioning.
Which is ok and a reasonable option, though it should be a standard. But you
can save money by not getting the heavy duty industrial strength floor mats.
You can save money by getting standard windows instead of power windows. It
doesn't take much to roll up a window. It could save you a hundred dollars
or more. Also, leave out the option for cruise control, it is a useless option.
It is just something that sounds good rather than it is needed for performance.
You can keep your foot on the gas for free rather than pay upwards of $ 500.
Do you need to buy a brand new car?
Most car dealerships also sell previously owned cars. These are cars that may
have less than 5,000 miles and were returned for whatever reason. If you have
a choice of spending money for example on a 2007 Saturn and a 2006 Saturn and
they are the same cars but different years and the 2006 has some mileage on
it. But it could save you a couple of thousand dollars. Take the 2006, is the
year of the car really that important especially if money is an issue?
