Tips for saving on new car
Posted on 5/24/16 at 12:58 pm

My wife's 2005 Corolla is on its last limb and we're thinking about children in the near future so she has decided on a little SUV.
Truthfully, I've never really had to deal with buying a new car (I'm in outside sales so I've been in company vehicles for 7 years). What type of things should I look for when discussing price? Is there fees we can get waived or pricing they usually try and sneak in?
Any tips & tricks is much appreciated.

Just drive double the speed limit.
Saves gas as well as wear and tear

I'd get a van instead, there's a reason most families drive them. Plus better gas mileage, insurance, etc.

If y'all are sticking with Toyota, then there isn't too much wheeling and dealing. A Highlander or 4-Runner sounds like it would be the right size.

Thank you.
I don't think I could even try to convince my 28 year old, childless wife to drive a minivan to work

Look up the car you want on true car. Shoot for the lower end of the price spectrum.

Good for you, brotha.

Just show her this thread and you won't have to worry about a new car or kids.
