Buying Your First Car

So your sixteen, just got your driver's license, and ready for your first car. Off to the Porsche dealer right? Funny. The truth is you can forget about any dreams of getting a super car and any of those high class Italians and start thinking and looking into cars that are a bit more practical. The most important things to consider in a car are its price and reliability. Because really a car's real purpose is simply to get you from point A to point B. everything else is just gravy. It is likely that your first car will be used so make sure you do proper research before scouring through the internet and reference books for you car. Look for histories of problems with certain models of cars. Also, it may be a good idea to look into a car that is a very popular model. I know that some people dislike that idea because they want to be unique and break away from the mold. But the fact is that popular models have more spare and replacement part made for them. What does that mean? It means that when you get in your first accident with your car it will cost significantly less to replace you dented bumper than it would on a car where parts are scarce and hard to find. So if you don’t want a huge hit to your wallet every time you get a ding in your car (and believe me you’ll be getting plenty of these), do your research.Now you've considered a couple models you want and now you think you've found one for a good price. Seller says no previous accidents, low miles, good condition. Sounds good right? Make sure. Carfax is an amazing tool and is worth spending a few dollars to find out the history of a car. Many people try and cover up past accidents or high mileage. Carfax gives you a true history report of everything that is known about the car. From the number of oil changes to the mileage it was last serviced at carfax really does tell you a lot of important information. If something sounds fishy and what the seller is saying doesn’t quite match up to what carfax says, I would avoid it and look for another car.Finally make sure to check out the car in person. In this case you can never be too thorough so make sure to check everything. Check the exterior for any signs of an accident. Parts with non-matching paint, lines that don’t completely match up, and if you did your research non manufacturer parts. With non manufacturer parts be careful because you do not know the quality of these parts. A lot of poor quality parts are on the market and although they may look nice, they actually lower the value of the car. If possible take the car out for a drive. Listen for any unusual sounds and test the brakes for any sounds or unresponsiveness. If you’re satisfied with your car after all this then take the plunge and make an offer. Don’t think that you’ll be able to haggle your way to getting a steal on your car. Come in with an idea of what a good offer is and start a little below it working your way up to it as the negotiation goes on, remembering not to go over your previously set price. If all goes well you’ll be driving away in your very own car. Congratulations.
