Your Checklist for a Stress-Free Car Purchase

Try to remember these seven things before you go car shopping next.

1

Make Sure You Have a Few Hours

Buying a vehicle is never a five-minute purchase. Plan to be at the dealership for a few hours to handle picking out a vehicle, going on a **test drive**, and handling financing and paperwork.

2

Trade-In Value is Only a Guide

Online value estimator tools only serve as guides. The actual trade-in value depends on your car’s **condition**, local market demands, and the dealer’s ability to resell the vehicle.

3

Your Credit Will Be a Factor

If you're financing or leasing, your **credit and income** will play a major role in determining your payments and whether you qualify. If your history is spotty, your salesperson will work hard to help you through the process.

4

Bring Your Paperwork

To save time, have your necessary paperwork ready: **vehicle title**, most recent loan statement (if trading in), **driver’s license**, and **insurance information** to switch coverage.

5

Be Prepared to Test Drive

Never buy a vehicle without taking it for a drive! Always plan to take the vehicle you’re interested in out to see how it feels in various conditions, from **city traffic** to the **highway**.

6

Have Fun!

Don't forget that this should be an enjoyable experience! You work hard for your money, so enjoy the process of spending it. Remember, you’re in the **driver’s seat** (literally), so have a good time making your next big purchase.
