Buying a car...

Does anyone else think that buying a new car is an extremely stressful process? You have to research vehicles, do price checking, contact your insurance agent, figure out what you are going to do with your current car, figure out your financial situation (what you can and cannot afford), read consumer reports on new vehicles, contact your bank for possible auto loans, and the list goes on and on. I am currently in the market for buying a new car and I have never been more overwhelmed in my entire life.....

Imagine what it was like before the Internet.

I can't even. That would make things far more difficult....

I’ve never bought a new car before. I’ve only bought used because I don’t want to deal with salesmen or financing.

It's a huge pain in the ass!
Maybe use your current vehicle as a trade-in or consider leasing...I've been leasing from Ford and Chevrolet for 6 years now...buy the extra insurance for body damage and increased mileage depending on how much you drive

Leasing is a bit more expensive but every 30 months they contact me to turn in and get a brand new one
Just a suggestion...best of luck👍

I knew someone who bought a used car for $25. A dealership would advertise a few really cheap to get people to come in. I'm still impressed by that sale although it's been a few years. I was told the car ran well.

Wow $25!!!! That's so cheap. He definitely got lucky!!
