Buying a car remains one of the bigger investments in life. Unfortunately, we can all too easily get taken advantage of. It helps to have a game plan. To help you with this, we’ve put together some car buying steps that you should follow:

Step 1:

Consider your budget. If you have the cash upfront, great. If not, you can easily exceed realistic monthly payments; don’t overextend yourself.

Step 2:

Consider how you will use your transportation. Does it fit all of your needs? Do this thoroughly, any needs you forget, you’ll have to do without. Next, prioritize these needs in order of importance.

Step 3:

Research! This one shouldn’t get underestimated. You can’t suit your needs if you don’t know which cars can work for them. Spend more time on this than with step 2.

Step 4:

Test Drive; even if you’ve researched the perfect car, you need to make sure it works correctly. Use every feature to ensure this. You don’t want to wait until after your purchase to figure out certain things don’t work.
