Saving Money Car Buying Edition
Manage episode 404572201 series 3487553
Buying a car can be such a stressful experience. Hearing the horror stories for other consumers is enough to send shivers down your spine just thinking about it. But it is something everyone has to do eventually. Going into it prepared is so crucial to saving money
Today we discussed a few strategies to make car buying a little more bearable. These tips can help you get the best deal on your next vehicle. Shopping around is the biggest take away for the episode.
We mentioned a car buying site. Cars.com was the one we mentioned. Cargurus.com is another good one to check out.
One thing we missed talking about during the episode is starting early. We did discuss driving your vehicle into the ground. But there is a balancing act there. You have to start shopping for a new vehicle before your old vehicle breaks down for the last time. This gives you the time you need to look around and find the right car for you. If you wait too long, you limit your available search window. For us, we like to buy vehicles from farther south where things don't get as rusty. We have to balance the life left in our vehicle with our need to travel a little ways to purchase.
