- NEW!
While it might be tedious, it's necessary to research the new cars that you're willing to consider buying. Come up with a list of features that you want, such as gas mileage, audio capabilities, engine size and even color, and write them all down. Find a model that meets as many of the prerequisites you want, and then learn a little bit about that particular car. The more you find out about the car, the better you will understand the salespeople when they start using their jargon.
Check the prices that dealers are offering in your area for the car that you want. This is where it's helpful to use the Internet, as most car dealers have websites devoted to their business. So, without leaving home you can shop the current prices that are being offered, and get a sense of what you're likely going to pay for your new car. Additionally, check the prices that are quoted in the blue book to make sure the prices you're seeing are what they should be. Once you've concluded your shopping, pick the dealers that have the best prices and start negotiations.
There's usually more to buying a new car then handing over a wad of cash and driving off the lot. You should take a test drive in the car that you want to make sure that it measures up in performance to what you had in mind. Once you're sure that it's the car you want, open negotiations with the dealer. Your homework told you want the car is worth, so you should be able to haggle effectively over the price you'll end up paying. Having a good credit score, in addition to knowledge of the vehicle and its price, can only help you make a case for a lower price.
