Car Buying tips. Save thousands of dollars, and lots of time, by following these simple consumer related car buying steps.

Let’s face it. Buying a car, for most of use, is an intimidating process. The way to make it much less stressful is to have the information you need, when YOU need it, as well as a way to tell if the people you are dealing with are treating you fairly. The following steps will give you the knowledge you need..

Over the years I have helped over thousands of people buy cars using the internet to give them the edge in the negotiation process. I’ll show you how to do it here for FREE!

Do not even think about going into a dealership or making an offer on a car until you do a little bit of homework.

Did you know that only a few car dealers in your area are listed on any one internet car shopping site, and some dealers have an exclusive right to every lead for a particular make in a particular area?

That is why it is important to go to at least three (and we will show you more) competitive sites to get a car quote. These steps will link you to the best car sites which will give you pricing and information.

Remember, you are in control of the buying process. Get as much information as you can. There is absolutely no cost in getting these quotes, and no obligation to talk (or even respond) to any of the dealers.

1) Get the online price from a local dealer for Discount Pricing on a New Car .This is the place to start. Put in the make and model and follow through to where they acknowledge that you have sent an inquiry.

TIP: in the message area of the lead you send put in “email only” to have the dealership send you the info by email instead of calling.

It may take a while for the dealer to contact you, and you may get an automated response. That’s OK. It is a good way to gauge the quality of the Internet Sales person at that dealership. The faster you receive an email from an actual person at the dealership, after you get the “automated” response, the better the salesperson will be.

2) Next, use the site voted “Best” for buyers seeking information on a specific vehicles, it’s Car Research and Pricing at Edmunds.com

3) Now go to the site that does the negotiating for you! They get prices from a dealer in your area and allow you to go through the whole car buying experience on- line.

4) This New car site has been growing quickly and will give you a great perspective on values.

5) Get a reality check by looking at both new and used cars on the site that lists the most dealers (and also newspaper ads)

6) Did you know that Yahoo! has a Dealer network, and can get you connected with dealers in your area? Get quotes from Yahoo! Autos

7) Vehix.com - New Cars can help you price and shop for your next car.

Armed with this information you can confidently talk to any salesperson about any vehicle you are interested in.
