Purchasing Auto
- You can save a significant amount of money by buying a nearly new rather than a brand-new vehicle through lower upfront costs and lower financing and insurance costs.
- Choose a vehicle that's inexpensive to own. Consumer Reports is a great place to find this information.
- Don't buy more vehicle than you can comfortably afford.
- Finance your vehicle over 3 years or less.
- Do your homework before negotiating on a vehicle.
- Avoid the trade-in trap - A dealer who concedes a low price on a new car may recover the difference, and possibly more, by giving you a low trade-in value on your old vehicle.
