owned vehicles since I was 16, I am 23 now... yeah, I feel it bro. Never been in a collision with other vehicles. Smashed into the side of a mountain once, never claimed insurance because even though I pay 150 a month I'm still not covered lol. A rookie mistake I'd add, is make sure you know what you are covered for in your insurance and to buy the extra coverage because even though you think you are a great driver, you are also new and lets be honest, you aren't as good as you think

People wonder how I’ve gotten the deals I have on my new car purchases. I follow the same steps every time. 1. Send email to all dealerships in 50 mile radius for the brand you want (I.e. all Dodge dealerships if you want a charger) and say “I’m sending this to all local dealerships. I’m actively in the market for and a ready to purchase a _______ with _______ options and in the following colors______. The maximum I am willing to spend out the door, including tax/title/tags is _______. First dealership to meet or beat that price will have my purchase. I will not step foot on a lot until a have a signed invoice guaranteeing that price.” 2. Stick to that promise of not stepping on the lot. Within 6-10 hours all of the dealerships will start emailing you invoices. If one dealer has exactly what you want but at a higher price than what another bidded you, forward them the invoice from the other dealer and tell them to beat it. Show that you are in control and do not give in no matter how much they try to get you to come to the dealer to discuss pricing. Also, explain to them that you will not be paying for dealer installed options like tint if they already put it on their vehicles without your request and that you will not be paying destination/delivery fees on a vehicle that is already sitting on their lot. 3. Get the best and second best options for dealerships. Plan A is the one that sent you the absolute best price, plan B is the second best price. Plan A May end up being a bunch of douches and try to tack on charges last minute. The second they try this you want to be able to confidently walk away knowing you have another option lined up that’s already negotiated down. 4. Apply for any financing BEFORE going to the dealership. NEVER finance through the dealership. They’ll convince you that 9-15% is what they can do and even after battling them you’ll be lucky to get 5-6%. All those 0-3% APR promos all have hidden fine print that can rail you. If you finance through your current bank or open a credit union account and finance through them, it’s easy to get a 2-4.5% loan if you have at least halfway decent credit. Bringing your own loan is a great tool but save this tool until as late as possible during your car deal. 5. Go to dealership. Do test drive. Only deal with salesperson who you had previous contact with. Explain to salesperson that you are a straight to the point no BS type of person and if they try to BS you then you’ll walk out right away. DO NOT seem excited about vehicle even if it’s cool as hell. Go to the desk and finalize all the numbers for the vehicle. Then when the payment comes inform them that you brought your own financing. They will try to say that their price was contingent on you financing through them and it’ll have to go up if you finance elsewhere. When they say that, be ready to give them the “nice talkin to you then, good day”. They’ll quickly take this back and be willing to do the original price with your financing. If for some reason they don’t, that’s why you had a plan B! 6. Finalize and drive off in your new ride.

Error 4043 I actually have worked at a dealership. While some small things have changed since then, the major things haven’t. I’ve also had a long history in the sales world, so I developed the “game face” in that regard. You have to know exactly what you want and be unwilling to sway, be confident. Any sway on your part and they’ll pounce, by the end you’ll have jumped hundreds or even thousands in price needlessly.

alex p I used to work for a dealership, that’s how I developed this tactic. When I was selling cars I had a love/hate with people who bought like this. Hated that I got less commission off of that one sale but loved that they were quick and easy sales to stack commission. Working on an invoice and getting manager approval takes way less time that test driving person after person. Both are gambles if the customer will buy, so I’d rather stack a bunch of small commissions.

Some rookie mistakes I would add to this list based on my personal experiences: Not taking into consideration the cost of modifications on different cars. Parts for German cars tend to cost more than parts on Japanese or American cars. Also, the cost to install those parts will likely be different. Know what mods you want to do and what it'll cost to do them on all the different cars you are considering. While understanding the purchase cost and the insurance costs are important, so is understanding the maintenance costs. BMWs have higher maintenance costs than Toyotas. BMW M cars have even higher costs than normal BMWs. That E46 M3 you got cheap will gets your money out of you one way or another. Also keep in mind the cost of tires and brakes will be higher on more performance oriented cars and you will go through those consumables faster. Some cars are easier to work on than others. If your goal is to perform all your own preventative maintenance then you probably want to get a car that is easy to work on. I'd also add understanding the mods you plan to do vs. buying a better/higher trim level car. If you are going to buy a BMW 235i and drop $15k into it you might be better off buying an M2 instead. I've purchased a couple Mustang GTs in my life and with how much I've dropped into them I could have purchased a Mustang Cobra or Shelby instead and had both a more interesting car, and something that would have retained its value better.

Meh I went to two different credit unions. My credit union of like 5 years was Terrible to work with. Went to a new one gave me a much more fair price. My parents borrowed me the cash to buy the car upfront (was a good deal and didn't have financing ready to go at that time) After I owned the car outright and Everything I went to my credit union to get financed so I could pay my parents back (and build credit. I didn't need to get the loan. I could have just paid my parents back over time) The CU (credit union) needed a cosigner (I had some credit at this time. But never a loan) and needed the car I just bought as collateral.. really stupid as it was a 5k loan, and the car was worth 13k (8k on KBB) I also made good money (2750/month) so that wasn't the problem. And wanted 11% interest. Total ripoff. Went to my parents credit union. Got a loan for 7%, no cosigner and no collateral. Paid it off in 4 months instead of the terms 3 years (I told both places I wanted to pay it off as past as possible, I didn't want debt hanging over my head) Sorry for the rant. In my experience I've had mixed results with credit unions! Paid 12.5k for my car, had 7k in bank and needed to finance the rest.

It was a mint interior, the body was in great shape (concidering how much snow/salt we have during the winters here in Canada), and it was bone stock. Perfect car right? So I buy it. After only a month of driving it, the turbo decided to go. So I take it to a shop, get it repaired, mechanic shop forgot to hook up turbo fuel line so after only 30 mins of driving my oil pressure lamp and CEL came on. So shop takes responsibility and covered the cost for a new block and turbo. Sometimes shit just goes wrong. No way to avoid it.

Staying out of debt is my recommandation to you all. Leasings and other car loans are traps that will blow at your face anytime. A good old advice from my parents to me, and that is also used by anybody I know is : "don't by a car that costs you more than one year of your salary". Complementary advice to you : if you want to buy great, buy a used car with low mileage (35'000 km max) and at least 5-6 years old. Buy from a reputable source (trustful person doing the services on time with impeccable service booklet), this is important. Because buying from a gypsie or a hood criminal will never end well. Peoples respectful of the rules and good to other are also good to their cars. You will not have the intitial devaluation of the car when new. And this will allow you to get a upper class car for a good price, generally in excellent shape.

If this was 2000 I’d say it was a mistake to get a stick. But it’s 2020 and with most cars you’re dumb to not get a auto. The 10spd trans in the current mustang for example is absolutely amazing and you’ll never beat one in a stick version of a similar car. Plus you can still shift in modern autos

A lot of these tips(especially the research) helped lead me to buy my 2018 Audi a3 last year for 30% off sticker because it was the dealer's loaner and only had 6 thousand miles on it. Although it had a scratch you could barely see on the passenger's side, other than that, it was a perfect buy. So far, I've put new tires, wheels, a honeycomb grille, and an APR tune on the car. I'm stoked!

And I bought a 2014 Silverado . Extended cab . 4x4 . 57k miles . Bought it for 17k and my father helped me with the 2 k so I took out a loan of 15k personal loan because he didn’t want a check so i got cash . My mechanic . “ cousin” checked it out because I bought it off the street and he said it was perfect . I got a 7% interest rate on it . And my payments come out to like 300 a month .

HOO BOI Lemme tell you 'bout my wrx I fucked up on! Should've bought that damn corolla... Made every mistake mentioned. Found a wrx at a reputable dealer, made an appt to test drive. Found a cheaper one at a used car lot, test drove that one instead. Didn't do research, fell in love, ignored ALL the red flags, and drove home with it. Leaking rack and pinion. Boost leak. Leaking cam/crankshaft seal. Timing belt probably not replaced. Squeaky clutch pedal assembly. Turbo oil return line leak. No service records/ receipts were provided. And let's not forget the expensive insurance I can barely afford! DO 👏 YOUR 👏 RESEARCH! 👏 but hey, it has a nice exhaust.

Staying under budget allows you to “splurge” when you do fall for a specific car. It has been a great car so far.

Great advice! It is very true there is always a better deal around the corner somewhere. Funny story, When I was looking for my first car I was looking for something like a 2000 civic. Just something that’d get me from A to B and something I could have a little fun in. Well after a few DOZEN dead ends I ended up settling on a manual 03 cavalier for $800 because when it came down to it I was barley 18 and just needed something to get me to and from work really. Now yes I had plenty of fun in this car over the following years with a few mods like intake, loud exhaust & eBay turbo kit of course, because I was 18. But, back to the point here, not even a few weeks after I bought it I came across a manual 1999 civic with about 150k, stage two racing suspension, a decent turbo, etc. I mean everything from the paint to the Toyo tires was perfect for what I wanted at that time👌🏻 even the price I mean F*CK the dude only wanted $50 more then what I paid for my pos cavalier!! But, at that point I was pretty much broke after paying $800 for the cavalier + $350 to register the stupid thing + a down payment of 305 f*cking dollars to insure it.. So moral of the story here, be patient, take your time. Because I can almost guarantee you once you buy what you think is the best deal you are going to find, you’ll find something better.

Me buying a new used car in 2016. I want a Nissan but not a small one like Micra, Note or Juke. And not a SUV or a jeep like Qashqai, Morano, Pathfinder... Cars like the newer Maxima, Sentra or Altima you can't get in Europe. AND THEN I found a NIssan Pulsar. Went to uncle Google, found out they started making them again in 2014. Ok. Went on KZbin to see some review's. Everything good except the engine's are only 1.2 gasoline and 1.5 diesel. Don't want a diesel and 1.2 is a really small engine. Explore further more... BINGO!!! There's also a 1.6 turbo engine with 190HP. Great. Check if they have them here (I'm from Slovenia). No. GOD DAMN IT!!! Ok, don't panic. I go to check the German sites because it's very popular to import them from there. Sort them by price. Found a black one, year 2015, the closest to the boarder AND THE CHEAPEST OF THEM ALL. So I assume something must be wrong. But then again it's not even 1 year old and the seller is a Nissan dealership. I got to have it!!! Then the next project was to find someone to go get it. Found out that a coworker knows a guy who's got a guy that does that for a living. Met with him and talk about it in general. And then I told him I already found the car I want. So now my guy calls the guy in Germany to see if the car is still for sell and if everything's good. I got the car in less then a week. But had to wait for 3 weeks for all the papers to go through (in my country everything like that goes very slow). It's now been 3 year since I had it and I couldn't be happier. So far no problems *knock on wood* and I'm starting to modify it a bit.

When I was working at a dealership for years, we got a 2011 ZL1 Camaro off trade. I bonded Really Well with the car and immediately knew what the car's limit's were. If anyone came in to test drive the car, I would be the guy called to take the customers out for a drive. I knew the car in and out, and I took it home for about a week. Man, I still want one. Anyways, when I bought my lancer, I test drove about 30 Evolution 10's. All of them gave me a different driving experience and finally landed on the right one. Took me about a few years to really find a 10 that suits me. The dealership that I made partners with. They offered my an insane discount for me to lease and purchase a FE 10, but I ended up getting a better deal on a C.P. O. one instead. My only tip that I cannot stress enough, Take Your Time. You may want your car immediately, but all of the cars in my collection, I am proud to say, they weren't impulse buys.
