Assess your needs. The “right car” depends on who you are and what you expect from your vehicle. While some people like to make a statement with their vehicle, some prefer practicality.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• How many passengers do you need to carry?
• Do you have a long commute?
• Will you be doing any towing?
• What features are important to you?

These factors should all come into play when you decide on your next vehicle. Click here to read our blog article, “Features You Should Look for in Your New Car” to help determine the features you would like in your next car.

 

Set your budget. How much can you afford to allocate toward a car payment each month? The general rule is that your monthly new-car payment should not exceed 15 percent of your monthly take-home pay.
