Therefore, car shopping is more along the lines of what's available and 'we really should have been saving money so we don't have to make a car payment' and then signing on for whatever financing the dealer has.

I was 24 years old & had never gone car shopping without my dad before so I was nervous but luckily he had taught me those same tips & I managed to walk out with a car at a fair price & low interest. Good thing too because I had barely got my car to start to drive it there to trade in.

We recently bought a car and although we got a great deal at the dealership, we refinanced at a local credit union - saved $1500 total and lowered our payment duration by a year. Happy shopping!lauren alford designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03553839804166048183noreply@blogger.com
