One of the advantages to Buying a New Car is that you have a lot of freedom on deciding on what make, model, color, equipment etc.InvoiceDealers.com, Edmunds.com and Automotive.com are great sites to get quotes from with the specs you want!

Now that we know you can Buy a Car  and how much you can afford it is time to get some scrap paper and make some notes. Make  3 columns. At the top I want you to write down what you can afford to spend on your New Car. Now I want you to write in column 1 what you need in a car like 2 doors or 4 doors, automatic, truck or SUV, power windows and door locks etc. Now in a column 2 write what you would like to have in your New Car such as a sunroof, gps etc. In the 3rd column I want you to put your top 3 priorities for your New Car  like performance, safety, comfort, convenience and so on.

There we have a paper with what you can afford, need, want and what your priorities are in your New Car. The next step is to go to Edmunds.com and research the makes and models out there, no need to get a quote yet though. They have great tools for this! It is ok you can GO to Edmunds.com right now (it will open in a new window) and start doing your research.

Now while doing your research I want you to keep in mind your 3 columns and as far as price goes give yourself a $3000.00 or so padding. Right now we are just determining which Cars best fit into your needs, wants and priorities.

By now you should realize that each manufacture has a model that falls into your category of  Car  that you want to Buy. I want you to pick the 3 cars  that come the closest to the perfect match for your New Car. If there are more than 3 start to narrow it down by price and then how much you like the look etc.

In the end you should end up with 3 Cars you are looking at for your Buying choice. It will probably be 3 different makes as well such as Chevrolet, Ford etc.

                           Time to prepare for Initial Contact!
