Here are some tips

At cars.com you can rest assured you are getting great information.  Not only can you get videos and reviews, you can also find service and repair information as well as car values and a lot of other information.

I am a very practical person, so when I look for a new vehicle I look for functionality.  Of course, it has to be cute and fit my personality.  It is important that you will enjoy what you are driving, although a few times I have had vehicles that I really did not like.

My first car out of high school was a cute, new to me, Ford Mustang.  I loved that car and totally enjoyed driving it for many years.  After I was married the car was still great!  Keep in mind it was only a 2 door so as soon as my first baby came along it was no longer practical.  Getting the car seat and baby into the back seat, was nearly impossible.  Time for a practical change.

It doesn’t hurt to dream!

What are your needs?

It is very important to find a car that fits your needs, not just the style and color.  There are many options on cars and trucks to look at.  Here are a few ideas to consider when choosing a vehicle.

• How many people will you be transporting on a regular basis?
• How many of these people are children and will require a car seat. This is a great link for car seat safety tips.
• What type of roads will you be driving on? Will it be all highway miles or will there be some backroads and dirt roads?  What is the weather mostly like where you live?  Will there be hard winter driving that requires 4-wheel drive?
• Are you looking to buy a used or new vehicle?
• Know what your price range is and stick to it.  Don’t be talked into something out of your budget.
• Know what your price ranges are in a vehicle before you get there.  With the help of Cars.com make an informed decision, know the value while you look.
