How Not to Get Ripped Off When Buying a Car

If you have a car, you have probably paid too much for it or have gotten bad advice in its financing. You can avoid this nerve-racking, pocket-lightening ordeal by doing one of two things - do not buy a car at all or buy one wisely. Choosing not to have wheels may work for you in New York City, but, in the suburbs, it just won't do. The other option is to buy wisely.

Okay, now how do you buy one wisely? Basically, it goes like this. Get your financing in order, decide what you want to buy, go look for it, make a deal, and don't waver on your pre-search price decisions.

Sounds easy enough, but there are other considerations. For example, how do you know that the car that you are buying is a good one? Where do you get the best financing? How do you know that you are getting the best price on your new or used cream puff? How do you make a deal without compromising your position as the master of all you survey?

Headscratchers all, but there is help available.
