As with any major purchase, it pays to do your homework before you head for the showroom. The most important things to think about before you begin to look for a new car are:  

• What kind of car is right for you
• What you can afford to spend

Selecting the Right Kind of Vehicle

You must be happy with your purchase. But even a snazzy sports car won't bring lasting happiness if what you really need is a station wagon. So the first rule here is to know your everyday transportation needs.

Does your family need a large vehicle, with four doors and lots of load space, or is a small, economical, easy-to-park two-door model the best for you? What features and options do you require, and which ones can you live without? All add to the overall cost of the car, so always ask yourself, "do I need it"  and  "can I afford it?"

Make a list of all the makes and models you're interested in, including features and options you want, and do some homework on those cars. A number of consumer and automotive publications are available from newsstands and libraries to help you compare different cars and trucks and narrow your choices of models, features and options. These publications also offer information about reliability, frequency of maintenance, trunk space, passenger comfort and other practical features of today's new cars. Abajian Motors Sales Team will also assist in the selection of the right model for you. But the more you know about your individual needs, the quicker you can drive the car you love off the lot.

The Test-Drive

The only way to get a proper feel for the performance, handling, ride and comfort of a new car or truck is to drive it. The test drive is a perfect opportunity to ask any remaining questions you may have about a vehicle. The following tips may be helpful:

• Test drive all the models you are considering.
• Drive the cars on different types of roads.
• The test drive should last long enough for you to get an accurate feel for acceleration, braking, steering and overall stability.
• Listen to the radio for sound quality but turn it off during the test drive so you can listen to car, wind and road noises.
