Car Shopping






Thinking about buying a new car or used?   There is so much to think about!!!  More than what color you want or what bells & whistles you want.   Different types of cars will increase your car insurance, how much does  the car weigh will affect the price of the tabs for your license plate.   How many miles on the car, what type of weather will you me drive in, are you taking the car off road?  

There are so many different makes & models of cars.  I was shocked to learn of all of them.  My head almost explode from all the new info that I was learning!!  Once you make a list of what you might want, you now need to look at prices.  What do you want to pay, what can you pay & what are the prices are out there for what you want.   That may lead you to reviewing your list to see what will be taken off.   

Now do you want to buying a used car from the owner or go to the dealership to see what they can offer?  All things you need to think about.   Are you going to take what ever vehicle you pick to your own trusted mechanic to look it your choice over?   Do you go in debt over the car or do you pay cash?  All choices you will have to make.  

Let the hunt start!!!!   It can take take some time to find the right car for you.  how long or how far will you look for the perfect vehicle for you?   I know what I went through.  Man a long road of thinking of what  wanted, then looking into the different types of vehicles out there, the pros & cons of each, how much everything is, revisiting my list of what I needed in a vehicle & what I want in a vehicle & the main thing is how much I was willing & able to pay for this vehicle.  

 How long did I want the vehicle to to last?  That changed everything for me!! Did I want to invest in a cheaper vehicle with a lot of miles & might have repairs on it right away or invest in a vehicle that cost a bit more with a lot lower miles & not have car repairs right away?   That is a game changer.  Almost had to restart my list  of what I wanted & needed from the vehicle to fit my budget.   No matter how long it takes me, I know when I finally have that next vehicle, I will be happy with no regrets of my choices.   

As of right now, I'm still looking for my next vehicle, I'm getting closer to what I might like & own.
