re: First trip to a car dealership to look into buying a new car

The best car buying advice I can give you is this:

Don't be afraid to say,"No." Say it over and over again. No, no, no.

Anything they try to sell you on is a waste of money. They'll try to make it sound like you need it. You don't need it. Whatever it is, you don't need it. Agree to purchase a specific vehicle with a specific set of features you want and nothing more.
