2. Sally Linderson Says: Working for a car dealer I would say always walk away from the deal and come back 30 minutes later... if they see u leaving they may drop the price even lower to keep u in the doors. Also do the math on all maintenance packages and such... some just don't make sense. And know your rights as a consumer in your state... I.e. is there a right of recision in your state? Do they have to guarantee emissions? Stuff like that.... and last but not least... know that you might not be able to afford everything you want so make sure u have a list of what you HAVE to have and another of what u would like to have in a vehicle! Good luck

It's no good driving a car or truck if you can't afford the gas, or if you can afford the gas it's still good to have a few coins to spend on something else. Then think price, and what your most willing to do without if you had two choices. Also remember you are the buyer, and if your not happy walk away you'll find that this will probably be one of your toughest purchases you make. Good luck

However stay away from Ford Focus's my sis owns one and its a piece, lol Oh, BTW I , myself was a mechanic for a few years and have to agree with the Honda statement as well. I love GM b/c their dependable and cheap to fix ,but when I saw the Ford Fusion info I couldn't resist. I would never own any other Ford other than a Fusion b/c of my shop and all the Fords coming and going out of it! It really depends on mileage, the prior owners maintenance and manufacture reputation. Use all info available, like Carfax, etc. Also know you have the right to take ANY car bought ANYWHERE from ANYONE to include the newspaper or Craigslist to a mechanic to have it checked out beforehand. If someone wont go with you, or let you take the car to a mechanic to a shop before you buy it...RUN! Most states are "as is" and "no warranty" so if it blows up after you drive it a mile down the road you have no legal recourse if its a used car!!!! Oh and PS dont buy a "Smart Car", they may get 40 MPG but its like driving a Tic Tac on wheels...Hope this helps!
