Medium Size Car room for 4 or more good gas mileage midsize cargo area many choices

Full Size Car comfortable ride large trunk Up to 5 passengers poor gas economy high operating costs lot of protection in a collision

The Test Drive If the owner of the car refuses to let you test drive, look for another car.

Test-drive the car/model you want Plan to drive many cars in the same day Don’t bring anybody who will distract you Do not bring your checkbook, your pick slip, or even your trade Plan your route, preferably near your home Bring a knowledgeable person you trust

Have the car inspected? Bring to a mechanic you know and trust. For a fee, they will check the car over for any obvious problems.

What About the Test-Drive? How Does the Car Feel Getting In and Getting Out? How Is My Visibility? How Does the Car Ride, Accelerate, Brake and Handle? Hear Any Noises? Any Lights on? Signs of a Collision? Everything Work?

Plan the purchase Decide on the price you want to pay Make sure you want the car you are buying

Negotiate the purchase Be Prepared Select the Car to Buy Test Drive Again Set Your Price Set the Value of Your Trade Factor in Your Down payment and Rebate Check on Dealer Financing

Be Sure To Get any and everything you agreed upon in writing!

Complete the sale Set price Agree on the value of the trade Finalize financing Extended warranty?

What to do next Don’t park anywhere near others cars

Or maybe get it washed
