Your perfect car!

Wow such a lofty concept.. but just like perfect anything,…it’s a different definition perfection for every person. Irregardless, the process of deciding on anyone’s perfect car is the same. You need to answer some very basic questions. In order of this suggested priority.

1) What can I afford?
a. Determine a price range for the desired car. If you plan to get a loan find out what monthly loan you can afford.

2) Lease or own?
a. If you plan to lease, you can choose car makes of lesser quality, since you wont have to worry about bearing the cost of repairs or ownership once the car gets old.

3) What car features are a must have?
a. Moonroof? 4WD? Super Gas milage? Standard, automatic?

4) Car quality
a. A good quality make costs more than the lesser quality makes for the same features.
b. If you plan to own, its better to spend a little more for a better quality make, as you will land up spending less in the long run. If you plan to lease, see #2 above

5) Availability of bargains, incentives, special loans etc
a. The more you have to spend, the more features, or quality you can get for the same amount of money. Eg. If you are choosing between a Honda civic and a Toyota corolla, go for the Honda civic if they are giving you some specials with the purchase.

6) Find out if you have any car purchase associated discounts on car loans, extended warranties or service plans if you are in the market for these things.

7) Finally the most important decision maker to find your perfect car is what you feel you are getting for the money you are spending. Sometimes its ok to spend a little more than you are comfortable for a quality product that will keep you happy with your purchase.
