CAR
BUYING
INTRODUCTION
You've decided to
buy a new car. An image of your dream car hovers in your
mind — it's shiny, colorful and purrs like a kitten at
70 kilometers an hour. Buying a car is a big investment,
but it can be exciting and rewarding, especially if you
feel like you got the right car at a fair price. For
this reason, it's worthwhile to spend a substantial
amount of time on the process, to confirm that you end
up with the best car for you at the best price you can
get. The most emotional part of buying a new car may not
be the idea of buying a new car but choosing which one
to buy.
Once you've decided to get a car, be sure that you
understand that the car is NOT an investment. There are
exceptions to this rule, such as some antique and
collectible cars which can appreciate in value (although
rarely as fast as stock investments). But for virtually
all other cars, their value depreciates with every mile
you put on them. So look at the car as an expense rather
than an investment.
