How to Calculate Your Monthly Car Loan Payment

Let’s face it – most of us are more likely to finance a car than pay cash outright. Why? Because few of us can spare tens of thousands of dollars all at once. Saving up for a cash payment could work, but few of us possess the patience. Leasing is affordable too, but it does not allow real vehicle ownership. This leaves financing as the only viable way of actually owning a vehicle. However, if you’re frightened of taking that first step to finance a car, you can easily alleviate your fears by calculating your potential monthly car loan payment to find out exactly what you can afford.

Why Now is a Perfect Time to Buy a New Car

Posted by Taras Trofimov | Shopping, Tips | No Comments

2014 is one of the best years to buy a new car. Find out why!

While we would argue that buying a new car is always better than buying a used one, there are several compelling arguments that may convince you otherwise. One of them is the fact that used cars are always cheaper – though truth be told they are not cheaper by much, especially if they are not that old. Another perceived perk of buying a used car is the fact that they don’t lose their resale value as quickly as new cars. We have already addressed the whole depreciation problem in one of our earlier articles, but if you’re still not convinced, you might just make a small exception for this year – because 2014 is a perfect year to buy a new car. Here’s why: Read More

How To Get Dealers in a Vicious Bidding War on Your New Car

Fortunately for consumers, there are many alternative car buying tactics floating around the internet that can help save thousands of dollars and hours of your time. The key to these strategies is that you have to know exactly what you want (upgrades and all), otherwise most won’t work.

If you do know exactly what new car you want then there is one technique in particular that I want to share with you. I found it one day on RedFlagDeals.

Of course you need to gather information about the car pricing and such, but basically the idea is that you’re taking the negotiating power away from dealers and into your hands.
