BUYING A NEW CAR
As with any other big-ticket item, it is important to do your homework
- decide in advance
what kind of car you need, and how much you can afford to spend.
- Think about size - a big family car or a jazzy sports car?
- Think about options - do you care if you have power everything, or do
you mind cranking open your windows yourself?
- Do you prefer cloth, vinyl, or leather seats?
- What features are important to you?
After you have analyzed your needs and your finances, you are ready
to being
looking. Before you start pounding the pavement, check out some of the
consumer oriented
publications that have information on cost, reliability, comfort factors,
and other
features of many cars. The Internet, your local library and bookstores
should have many of
these references. Also, see the "Where to Get More Information"
section.
