BACK TO SCHOOL AUTOMOTIVE BEST BUYS FALL 2010 Questions to Ask Car Dealers


(METRO) For consumers who know the right questions to ask car dealers, shop- ping for a car or truck can be a straight- forward process.


Before deciding what car to shop for, a few decisions must be made. Will you be looking for a new or pre-owned vehicle? Front-wheel drive or AWD? SUV, sedan or pickup? How much can you afford to spend, both on a down payment as well as monthly payments if financing the vehicle?


According to the Better Business Bu- reau, preliminary research is an impor- tant part of the buying process. The lo- cal newspaper's weekly auto section can be a great place to gather information, as can Web sites that provide reviews, comparisons and advice on an array of vehicles.


Comparison shopping is also essential when shopping for a vehicle. Things to compare include safety record or rating, reliability history, fuel economy, war- ranties, operating costs, theft rates, and general features and options. It might also be a good idea for prospective buy- ers to request an insurance quote on a particular vehicle before making any purchase final, as insurance rates can vary greatly not only for drivers, but for specific makes and models as well.


Once you've decided on which make and model you'd prefer, be sure to ask the dealer the following questions to ensure you're getting the best deal pos- sible.
