If you're in the market to buy a new car, you can search for a new car from the comfort of your
couch.
Once you've found or "built" the perfect new car, wheel and deal using the telephone and FAX
machine before inking the deal at your local car dealership. Of course, you can continue to do
things the hard way, but why would you want to when car buying can be quick, easy and profitable?
You'll find plenty of new car buying tips right here.
Car prices vary - even new car prices.
Do your homework and know exactly what you want and what you're willing to pay for a new car
before ever setting foot in a car dealership. Pass the exercise and you'll often walk away with a
brand new car for thousands less than other new car shoppers pay for the same car. You'll save time
and money and you'll avoid those awkward chats with sales personnel if you learn how to negotiate
a car deal the easy way — from a distance.
If you're undecided about which new car you want to buy, make Autobytel.com, Autoweb.com, CarSmart.com,
InvoiceDealers.com, AutoBargains or
Autos.yahoo.com
your first stop on
the Internet.
You can research new cars by body type or by car price to determine which ones fit your lifestyle
and budget. InvoiceDealers also includes a Finance Center, Lease Center, Insurance Center
and Warranty Center and they will put you in touch with a dealer in your area if you like.
Take notes or bookmark specific pages as you work. At a minimum, always note the lowest price
available for each new car under consideration.
Continue your research online at Edmunds.com.
You'll find comprehensive reviews, ranking, pricing information, pictures and descriptions for
over 500 cars at the site. Each car is reviewed by several industry experts and you can access
rankings or descriptions for any of the following items with a click of the mouse:
- Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)
- Dealer Invoice Price
- Acceleration
- Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
- Resale value
- Performance
- Comfort
- Safety
- Cargo and passenger space
By now you should be able to write your own new car guide, but for good measure, you'll want to
compare a few more new car prices to ensure that you find the lowest one.
Check with any and all of the following websites to find the lowest price on new cars:
Autobytel.com,
Autoweb.com,
CarSmart.com,
Cars.com,
Autos.yahoo.com,
Edmunds.com,
eBay.com.
Print the page with the lowest price for safekeeping. By now, you should have a good idea what
is the lowest published price on the new car or cars of your choice. Of course, you don't want to
pay this price!
If you've ever bought a car by trekking from dealership to dealership, try buying a new car
from home this time.
Buying a new car on your terms is downright FUN!
