Oh - one other thing. Finance.
If you're borrowing money to pay for the new car, read the small print very, very carefully. Some dealers do have excellent finance packages available because they want your business. Others offer their cars at low, low prices because they make a significant chunk back by selling the loan to you.
I'm not letting out any secrets to tell you that this last week I have seen documented evidence of a dealer loading a car loan with an interest rate of 23%. It would have been cheaper for the poor punter to buy the car using his credit card!
