Are you looking to purchase a car? Here are some tips that helped me on the 4th of July.

1. Tell the representative how much you like the vehicle.
Telling the representative how much you really, really, really want the vehicle will let the representative/sales person do everything in their power to get you into the vehicle.

2. Tell the representative how much you can afford to spend.
This will let the sales person know if you can upgrade to a deluxe model with special packages or get optional accessories. Because of this, we knew I could afford to add undercoating, etching and a roof rack. Also, it saved time for the representative to go to the back room to gett a better price from his boss which saved me time.

3. Tell the representative how little you know of the vehicle.
They will teach you about the vehicle so you will know if its right for you or not. This was helpful to me as the reresentative let me know it was best add a car seat so if I ever got married and have kids, the car was ready to go.

4. Tell the representative how you want to pay each month.
Instead of paying US$299 per month for 36 months, I was able to get it droppd to US$149 for 75 months. Now I still have money left over for insurance and gas which the car manufactur will cover up to US$2.99 per gallon.

5. Show the representative the trade in.
Knowning the value of your car early will let you know how much is going towards your new car. Which will let you know how much you will have to finance or take out of pocket to make up the difference.

I always learn so much from you. One weekend for fun I went to a Ford dealership carnival tent sale at the mall. I am serious, they let me drive home a Mustang GT with no money down for the weekend. Those !@#$%^&* They really know how to hook.
