When purchasing a vehicle, a lot of ppl forget about insurance. Make sure you are getting quotes BEFORE purchasing the vehicle. This prevents sticker shocks and to plan accordingly.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Ooh yes!! I thought I mentioned that haha I must’ve forgotten! But yes great point!

[@lillyxlovexx]

THIS. I used to be an insurance agent and the amount of parents who bought their 17 year olds Chargers and Challengers would come in AFTER purchase and find out adding them to their insurance would increase it to +400 more on top of their monthly payment. So yes contact your insurance agent before purchasing!!

THIS🙌🏽

[@isagoldfield7393]

@@lillyxlovexxso true…we added my 17yr old sons car & it added $900 more to our insurance, a big shocker to me & my husband, yikes 😬

[@SunezzShine]

Always ask if you can get the plates, title, tabs included in the listing price. So then you don’t have to go to the DMV and pay even more to register your car.

[@KatieMusser]

This!!! These are things we should’ve all been taught in school

[@SelenaTrevino]

1000%! So many things that should be taught in school tbh - car buying, house buying, how to build credit, etc 😭

[@christinadavis7000]

Added tip: research the value of any trade in

[@SelenaTrevino]

Oooh yes

literally waiting rn for my car loan to be approved. the timing of this video is perfect 😄

[@rosavazquez9236]

Thank you for your great tips I can definitely relate this to my daughter that wants to buy her own car 🚙 ❤😊 It’s great tips for young ladies that are in the process of buying a car. Good luck and congratulations again in your new car.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@pressjidge]

Good tips! One caveat to the prequalification & monthly payment disclosure: it could work in your favor to disclose sometimes especially if you tell them you've already been approved at a competing dealership for a better monthly payment (just watch the loan repayment timeline!) bc they'll want to beat their price. This is how I got a dealer to come down thousands of dollars on my new SUV. I'd say this also only works if you apply your other tip of being willing to walk away bc that's the only way you'll have leverage!

[@ayozenia]

Wow thank you for the tips! Really helpful especially about negotiating over email and doing research first!

[@EmsFitVenture]

I think a tip as well is to know what you want your out the door price to be. You can say you want the car for $34k but then the tax, transfer of tag or new tag, and other fees could easily make that a $40l vehicle. If you say you want the vehicle at $36k out the door with all included it can make the dealer sweat more and actually run all the numbers to tell you there best out the door price.

Thank You Selena for this content, I don’t need to buy a car, I watch to support your channel♥️♥️♥️

[@kerieshclarke8822]

Congratulations on your new car!!!🎉🎉🎉 You do the best endorsement promotion!!!

[@stephienatalie7305]

Such great info, Selena!! Thanks for sharing. In the process of buying my first home and then after that is sealed, will start the process of buying a car. Congrats on getting Luna!! ❤

[@-cece-nelson2298]

Hey Selena! Thais video was very good informing about car buying process! Love watching your channel and I’m not young! I have a 29 year old! This video will help so many people and although I don’t plan on buying a car for at least 5 years , I will refer back to this video.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thank you!! I’m glad you found the info to be useful 🥹

[@EloisaNJoseph]

Learned a lot from this, Selena! ❤️ I wish u could also make a video about couple therapy that you said you planned on doing with David before. Would love to know your progress and some tips too. More power to your channel 😊

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thank you! Def will not be making a video on this unfortunately as we’ve decided to keep parts of our relationship to ourselves ❤️ but in general I think every couple should go to couples therapy! You do not need to be having major problems in order to see a therapist, they can help you communicate better, and figure out your compatibility too!

[@chi2om]

Thanks so much for this! Not just the car tips, but the budgeting especially. I just graduated grad school and i have no credit. Luckily i have no debt either, but at 25, I'm starting off with not much. Once i start my new corporate job, i want to get on track to saving for a house. Especially since the only thing in my name is my Toyota rav4 (undergrad gift)

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thats a great plan, you got this! 🫶🏽

[@lillyxlovexx]

Great information, thank you for sharing 💖 I’ve been wanting to buy a truck but I’m soooo bad at figuring out what research to do first before buying 😅

[@futures90]

Thank you for sharing Selena! This is just priceless information that you shred for the first time car beyers. I got my first used one literally from FB Marketplace but planning to get a new one in a couple of years. Thanks again for all the tips and tricks!

[@randitocherox]

I absolutely love watching this Selena

[@marydanessa]

it is very important to have this information. Gracias Selena! 😃

[@Francisco-bw7bh]

New follower, I like your channel. You have good musical taste, plus you speak Spanish here and there. I love to see your young and bought your first home 🏡

[@Leedah8]

This video and these comments are so helpful, because I am now in the market for a newer car and need all the help I can get.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Aww yay I’m so glad 💗

[@Billy33753]

Great tips!

[@SelenaTrevino]

thanks billy!

[@daisysinchi5258]

any recommendation or tips on leasing a car?

[@AnjaliPatel-ep4ds]

I would suggest get a 401k loan for your car. This way you will pay interest to your 401k account instead of someone else. Also, you can take loan of 50K every year and your loan will be for 5 years. So, if your interest rate is higher still you will save money. This is just a suggestion. This might very and you can ask someone from 401k account.

[@melevonne]

The hardest part of buying a car is having the income to even afford it. :(

[@mansoor3159]
