_________________________________________________________________

There are things to know and questions to ask when buying a car. The more you know, the more you save. And the less you know, well. . .

The better you manage your personal car finances, the less expensive your car will be. You can save (or lose) thousands on every car transaction. Stories about buying cars below invoice seem to be everywhere, and so do stories of people agreeing to prices and terms far higher than necessary.

As you browse the pages on personal car finances don’t feel bad if you discover that you have paid more than necessary in the past. What’s past is past, and most of us have done the same thing at one time or another.

Move forward, and start saving.
