Remember there is no “cooling off” period on new car sales. Once you have signed a contract, you are obligated to buy the car.
Don’t be pulled in by that new car smell and the fast-talking salesperson. Make absolutely sure that this will be the vehicle that you want to drive for the next 3-6 years, or longer.
Everyone loves the new car experience - everything from the smell to the shine. But, don’t just follow your heart when shopping for a new car. Research the various makes and models before ever setting foot onto the dealer’s lot.
You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a car by selecting a model that combines a low purchase price with low depreciation, financing, insurance, gasoline, maintenance, and repair costs. Ask your local librarian for new car guides that contain this information.
