Hi Learnvest community! Any car buying tips?!
-
Hi! I'm Christina I am a 26 year old living in sunny Orlando, Florida. I've worked in banking and currently work in investments, but love using Learnvest as a resource for their smart, practical advice on saving & budgeting.
I've been a subscriber for over a year and I am always reading articles Learnvest posts to Facebook (especially anything to do with the psychology of money), following their quick tips on Twitter, and re-pinning inspiration on Pinterest!
I'd love to get anyone's tips and advice on car buying! I'm in the market for one and since I am single, will be doing it on my own. I've watched the Business Insider video on buying a car using game theory (http://www.learnvest.com/knowledge-center/how-to-use-game-theory-to-get-a-great-deal-on-a-car/).. has anyone tried that approach? -
When I purchased my first car out of college I looked into a used rental car. They don't negotiate on price, but the prices are so low I doubt I could have negotiated a better deal. Hertz, Enterprise, etc- rental car companies have their own dealers through out the country. They take good care of their cars. I got a 2010 Corolla with just under 50,000 miles for 10,800 sticker price. Of course tax, made it a bit more (around 13,000). I wouldn't opt for the extended warranty like I did, just get a certified car with a year limited warranty at no additional cost. Check and make sure the tires are to your liking! I got what appear to be brand new tires.

Hi Christina,
This is Alden, the LV social media coordinator. Nice to see you again! I've found some LearnVest articles on car buying for you:

You probably saw this one, but just in case you didn't: http://www.learnvest.com/2012/07/money-mic-why-i-would-never-buy-a-new-car/

And this one tells you why you should have a snack before going car shopping: http://www.learnvest.com/2012/06/4-ways-willpower-affects-your-finances-and-how-to-increase-it/
Hope this helps! -
