taaaaaaba Car Buying Tips



7) Will children be coming of age soon?

It isn?t a common consideration, but for those with 13-15 year-olds, it should be asked. Do you really want your child practicing with their learner?s permit on your Mustang GT?

Also, will you need to add a vehicle for that very reason? It is something to consider in budgeting ? are you going to be buying your kid a car in the near future?

8) Will it fit every driver?

?That Mini Cooper sure would be nice, but will my 6?4? husband enjoy it as much as me if he has to drive it??

Again, not a common consideration, but it has to be taken into account if it applies.

9) What are my motivations?

Actors need to know their motivations before taking on a role. Car buyers need to know their motivations before buying.

If you get ?the urge? to get a new sports car because your neighbor just parked her new Dodge Charger in the driveway, you should tread very carefully. Car buying can be an impulse decision. In many cases, these impulses lead us down the wrong path and create bad situations down the road (literally).

If your motivation is that your current vehicle has problems or is old enough to start having problems soon, that is a good motivation. If you are expecting a child and need something bigger, that is a good motivation. If you changed jobs and need better gas mileage to commute, that is a good motivation. If you have lots of money and darn it, you want a new car, that is a good motivation.

If your nemesis at work just bought a full ton diesel and you can?t let him have the biggest, baddest truck in the parking lot, you should probably wait a few days and see if the feeling wears off before heading to the Dodge dealership.
