Buying a car is one of the most expensive purchases you will make in a lifetime. When looking to purchase such an important asset, you could think in either way: buy what you love and have been dreaming for many years and then struggle to make the payments; OR think rationally and logically before you sign on the dotted line. Your first instinct should lead you to consult your budget. Do your market research and steer your way to a good deal that serves your intended purpose for the asset. Identify costs associated with owning and operating a motor vehicle, then consider if you can afford it comfortably based on your income.
The Car Shopping self-study module introduces you to the most relevant information you need to consider when you plan to purchase your next vehicle.
