Now that you know the vehicles you are interested in its time to make the first trip to the car lots. Before leaving for the car lot we recommend you take the following items:

• Pen
• Drivers License
• Insurance Card
• Notepad

After you have gathered this information we suggest you go to the lot with the intention of further expanding your research.

Once you are at the lot you should take a look at the vehicles you are interested in and take your time noting the pros and cons of each vehicle on your notepad. While you are doing this if a salesman pesters you or gets in your way you should inform them that you are researching this vehicle, and will contact him or her if you need further assistance. After you have gathered your information its time for the road test(s)

Road Test:

Once you have completed the research stage its time to see what the vehicles you are interested in are made of, and put them to the "test."

Before you do this we suggest you plan on a driving route to test the vehicle. The route should include bumpy roads to test the shocks, and any other road conditions that you routinely drive in.

After you have road tested the vehicles you are interested in we then recommend you narrow down your search to the vehicle that suits your needs the best.

Extended Warranties

An Extended Warranty or Service Contract is an agreement between the owner and the Warranty Company, obligating the Warranty Company to pay for repairs covered by the contract for a specific period of time.  Your Vehicle is a major investment.  With an Extended Warranty you are protecting yourself from the unexpected cost of mechanical breakdowns.  One major repair often ends up costing as much, or even more than the entire cost of the warranty.  An Extended Warranty will ensure that your Vehicle is always in the best mechanical condition.

Financing and Insurance

After you have selected the vehicle you would like to purchase we recommend you also do your research on Financing and insurance. This process can ake time and we suggest that you begin by using one of the many online comparison websites to find out what the best rate is that you can get.
