New cars
~ You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a car by selecting a model that combines a low purchase price with low financing, insurance, gasoline, maintenance, and repair costs. Ask your local librarian for new car guides that contain this information.
~ Having selected a model, you can save hundreds of dollars by comparison shopping. Call at least five dealers for price quotes and let each know that you are calling others.
~ Remember there is no "cooling off" period on new car sales. Once you have signed a contract, you are obligated to buy the
car.
Used Cars
~ Before buying any used car:
a. Compare the seller's asking price with the average retail price in a "bluebook" or other guide to car prices found at many libraries, banks, and credit unions.
b. Have a mechanic you trust check the car, especially if the car is sold "as is."
~ Consider purchasing a used car from an individual you know and trust. They are more likely than other sellers to charge a lower price and point out any problems with the car.
