As with any major purchase, it pays
to do your homework before you head for the showroom. The most important
things to think about before you begin to look for a new car are:
- What kind of car is right for you
- What you can afford to spend
Selecting the Right Kind of Vehicle
You must be happy with your purchase.
But even a snazzy sports car won't bring lasting happiness if what
you really need is a station wagon. So the first rule here is to
know your everyday transportation needs.
Does your family need a large vehicle, with four
doors and lots of load space, or is a small,
economical, easy-to-park two-door model the best for
you? What features and options do you require, and
which ones can you live without? All add to the
overall cost of the car, so always ask yourself, "do I need it"
and "can I afford it?"
Make a list of all the makes and
models you're interested in, including features and options you
want, and do some homework on those cars. A number of consumer and
automotive publications are available from newsstands and libraries
to help you compare different cars and trucks and narrow your choices
of models, features and options. These publications also offer information
about reliability, frequency of maintenance, trunk space, passenger
comfort and other practical features of today's new cars. Abajian

model for you. But the more you know about your individual needs,
the quicker you can drive the car you love off the lot.
The Test-Drive
The only way to get a proper feel
for the performance, handling, ride and comfort of a new car or
truck is to drive it. The test drive is a perfect opportunity to
ask any remaining questions you may have about a vehicle. The following
tips may be helpful:
- Test drive all the models you are considering.
- Drive the cars on different types of roads.
- The test drive should last long enough for
you to get an accurate feel for acceleration, braking, steering
and overall stability.
- Listen to the radio for sound quality but
turn it off during the test drive so you can listen to car,
wind and road noises.
