Apart from real estate, vehicles make up the most expensive items that most of us buy in our lifetime. However, the biggest difference between the two is that real estate appreciates with time, while vehicles depreciate pretty fast. And because of the general wear and tear of motor vehicles, you will likely buy a lot more cars than houses in your life.
The amount of money you will spend on cars is enough reason to educate yourself on how to make each car purchase a smart one. Being deliberate about getting the best deal simply means taking the time to ensure that you get the best value for your money.
Speaking of money, how much do you have? The down payment is a good place to start this conversation, and is explored in detail in the following post:

As highlighted in the above post, most people will need auto financing for their car purchase. Those with enough money to pay cash for a car are the exception.

Taking the time to do some research online could help you land a better deal on financing from another auto loan provider. Fortunately, there are many tools online, including multiple loan provider comparisons and calculators, to make your search easy.
But even with all these options, how do you get around a poor credit score? After all, this is the most important factor that prospective financiers will consider. The following post offers some advice:
- Can I get a car loan with a credit score of 500?
Yes, you can. In fact, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about because creditors already know that millions of working-class Americans have subprime credit scores.

Keep in mind that in addition to your credit score, lenders will also consider your employment details and income. So if you have been in the same job for more than a year and have minimum debt, then your chances of getting an approval are pretty good. If you’ve had a repossession or bankruptcy in the recent past, you might have to settle for dealership financing.
