The purchase of an automobile rates second to a home, as the most expensive purchase consumers will ever make. Considering that the average retail price of an automobile in 2003 was $27,550 according to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), and therefore making an educated purchasing decision is important.

When searching for your next auto, keep in mind the make, model, and options that you�re looking for, as well as a dollar amount that you�re willing to spend. The more prepared you are before buying, the less chance you�ll be shaken up when completing the purchase. Many consumers get �sold� into making quick, and expensive, decisions in the dealership.

• Most dealers will be willing to lean on their profit by up to 20%, so don�t be afraid to negotiate once you find what you want.
• Though the dealer may not always have exactly what you want, remember that dealers are always trying to get inventory off of their lot, so negotiating may be easier with in-stock vehicles.
