What Are Your Priorities When Car or Truck Shopping ?

It’s amazing how people get carried away when car or truck shopping.  They get carried away with their egos and often buy – of finance the least practical vehicles for their needs what so ever. How does this occur and how can you prevent it so that at the end of the exercise you drive off the dealership lot or away from the private home where you purchased a good used vehicle, sourced online on Kijji or Craigslist?

     Figure out Your Car Shopping Priorities &Don’t Wait Till Your Car Breaks-down:

First and foremost prepare before you go out or even begin serious auto shopping.  Secondly most people only buy cars only when they are forced to.  If you know that somehow in the upcoming or near future that you are going to have to replace your vehicle – say you are hearing rumbling noises under the hood or from your transmission and you now it’s only a matter of time – then don’t ignore the situation at your peril.  If you need reliable transportation to work to earn your livelihood or for routine errands – then why wait until your vehicle is dead on the tow truck at on your local mechanics garage before you begin your search.  If your vehicle is d.o.a. and you are desperately out on the prowl ( in some one else’s car or truck) , this will certainly not put you in a good position at all for negotiating a great car deal or auto financing terms with the auto salesperson or his “manager”.

Plan Ahead on Paper Your Needs and Budget:

So first of all do your planning for your new car, truck, sports utility vehicle or van beforehand.  Do it on paper.  Figure out your priorities and budget.  Spend some time and energy thinking what are your real concerns and priorities – in addition to reliability and good gas mileage and do this on paper.  You will be amazed that with some thought how priorities seem to “gel out”.  True if you are purchasing a new vehicle – the deals are on the lot not to be ordered from the factory just for you.  Cars on new car dealers’ lots and in inventory often will come already with packages installed. It may be a case then of getting add-ons you really don’t want or need or it may that you get these nice luxuries thrown in for free and no additional cost for you overall.

  Don’t Be Backed in the Corner by Lack of Preparation & Planning:

Secondly do your car shopping ahead of time before you are backed in a corner. It will be a lot more pleasurable, less rushed and you will have the luxury of tie and thought not backed into a corner by timings and the sales process.  Most likely 99.9 % of the time you will also drive off with a much better deal of transportation that you really wanted in your mind’s eye anyways.
