If getting a good deal on your next auto purchase is important to you, it is critical to prepare for all aspects before you even begin to shop. Otherwise, you are likely to get a higher interest rate than you deserve, and are more than likely paying too much for your new purchase.

The first step in preparing is to determine exactly what kind of vehicle you want. Ask yourself how big it needs to be, whom and what you will be transporting, and how important fuel economy and various safety features are to you. Also consider what optional features you want. If you have decided this beforehand, you are less likely to get talked into something you don't want or need.

There are numerous publications and online resources available to help you decide what auto best suits you. For example, Edmunds’ buyers guides (edmunds.com), Consumer Reports (consumerreports.org), and J.D. Power and Associates (jdpower.com) all include vehicle descriptions, ratings, reviews, comparisons and other useful information. This research can all be done at your convenience and in the comfort of your home or office.
