How To Shop For Your Next New Vehicle Effectively?

If you are thinking of buying a brand new vehicle

, you may not know where to start. There are few steps you need to take before make your final decision. First of all the all important test drive, many people compare between three to four different brands, and they test drive these brands days some times even months apart. It is crucial for you to test drive your potential cars to buy within the same day, that way you have a good impression on how the vehicle handles and performs. It will help you to narrow down the right car for yourself relatively quick, visit the dealerships when you are ready financially. Take the vehicle on an extended test drive whenever possible; try the vehicle on the highway to listen to the cabin noise level. Take the vehicle on bumpy roads to test out the suspension and steering system capabilities. On your test drive you should look at the ergonomics and the interior design of the vehicle, make sure you can reach all the buttons with ease. If you can squeeze all your test drives within one day it would be ideal, your brain will be able to process the information and give you a solid idea which vehicle is superior. Don't be caught up with the hype and manufactures' promotion, 0% interest means nothing if the vehicle is overpriced, or has a poor resale value. All the interest you saved with all the payments over the years will go up in smoke when you are trying to sell the car again.

Generally speaking when you are trying to decide which brand to purchase, try to think of it as if you are selling that vehicle years down the road. Buy something that is popular, easy to sell, and high in demand. Buy a color not just for yourself but for your next potential buyer, and try to stay away from manual transmission if you can. Japanese or German makes are usually better choices because they have a much higher resale value and demand on the market. Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 are all good candidates for resale value. Try to stay away from bright colors like purple, green, orange, red, even blue if possible. In the resale market people are looking for silver, grey, maybe black. Silver is generally the best choice of color when it comes to resale because silver hides scratches well, and it will look newer compare to a dark blue.

The last thing you should be aware of is the price of the vehicle, for this exercise let's assume you picked a brand new Honda Civic, you are buying one with automatic transmission and in color silver. But how do you get the best price? If you are busy and have very little time to drive from one Honda dealership to the next one trying to haggle for the best price, you will be wasting a lot of time and gas for very little gain. There are third party companies such as A.P.A or Automotive Protection Agency, and Car Cost Canada where you are able to get dealer invoice prices online in an email format. For a small amount of fee ranging from $20-40 you can save yourself a lot of hassle. Bring the print out with you and arm yourself with the proper information before walking through the door and you will be surprised just how easy car shopping can really be.
