Do your research

As popular as the internet is and the easy access you have to it, you would think more people would use it or do more research before coming to a car lot.

I guess it's kinda like going grocery shopping and in the aisle they put your favorite candy bar or gum to entice you.

But when you go grocery shopping you usually know that if you only got $100 dollars to spend not to over due it.

90% of people want to keep their payment under $300 dollars,  but they don't want to put no money down and want to look at $25k-$30k vehicles. ...that just don't make sense. 

Did we do basic math in school? 

These are people of all ages as well.

Be a educated consumer, but better yet be a good consumer that pays your bills if your looking to borrow money or ask for financing or be pre pared to pay more.

How much is my payment

The average car payment is $350.

The average cross over or SUV payment is $450.

If you have excellent credit you might pay a little less, but if you got less than perfect credit you will pay a little more.

A good rule of thumb is for every $10,000 you borrow its typically $200 payment.

For every $1,000 down will typically lower your payment about $20.00

Putting money down could make or break the deal from giving you an approval.

It's a good idea to put a 20% down payment

The Perfect Vehicle

Do you know what vehicle you like?
Do you know what vehicle fits yours and your family's needs?
Do you know what color you like or want?
Do you know what your budget is?

It might be a good idea to do your home work and find out the answer to these questions before you buy.

Do you trust your car salesman

If you don't trust some one why would you ever do business with them, especially on a big purchase like buying a car. It is very important that you trust your car salesman, because they can either cost you a lot of money or make you feel you got a good deal.

A good car salesman will help educate you when purchasing a vehicle,  but will always leave it up to you to make the decision. So many people come into the dealership saying they want to pay $200 dollars a month and then pick out a $30, 000 dollar vehicle.

The average cost of a new vehicle is $27,400 dollars.  The average car payment is $350 dollars and when you get into a cross over or small SUV it goes up to $450 dollars a month. A good rule of thumb is $200 dollars for every $10,000 dollars of vehicle.
