How Much Price for a Car Can You Afford?
A basic guideline is that the monthly payment for car shouldn’t be 20 percent more than your take-home pay. While buying a car people tend to get over in their heads. So you should calculate to find an estimate price range in which you can shop and look for the cars that fit in that budget.

Building a Target List of the Used Cars: 
For saving money, consider buying second-tier cars; from less popular however still reliable manufacturers. Many well-known vehicles such as Toyota Camry and Honda Accord can cost you thousands more than a Nissan Altima or Chevrolet Malibu even though these cars are good.  So keeping this in mind, make a target list of different cars which can meet your needs and budget.

Check Reviews and prices:
before making a decision regarding a car check out the reviews, pricing, reviews, specs, list of standard features, fuel economy etc.

Check Vehicle History Report:
Before contacting the used-car seller, get the vehicle history report of the car which you want to buy. If the report isn’t positive then you shouldn’t buy that car. The vehicle history report can be accessed by vehicle identification number (VIN) and even by the license plate number. These reports are sold by many different companies and can help in revealing vital information about that used car such as whether the odometer rolled back or has it been declared as a loss by the insurance company.

Contact the Seller:
When a good prospective car has been found then call the seller before visiting them to see the vehicle. This is for establishing a relationship with the seller and for verifying the information given in the advertisement. Once in a while the seller might mention something which is not mentioned in the ad which may change your decision. Ask the question about the price at the last. Even though you might want to negotiate about the car before even seeing it, it’s better to see it first then haggle later.

Test-Drive the Car:

Make sure that the test-drive is in daytime so you are able to see the car in natural lightening and so are able to more determine its condition more accurately. On the test-drive, be sure to simulate the conditions of normal driving patterns means if you drive a lot on the highway be sure to take it up to 65 mph at least. If you’re a regular with driving in the mountains then test the car on steep slopes.

Get the Car Inspected:
