[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 30 years old, and I have never bought a car!  Well, I need to now.  Any tips?  Has anyone here tried the costco auto program?[/quote]

Kinda snarky, but if you are 30, and have no idea how to buy a car,  how have you ever succeeded in buying anything?  It is an exchange of goods/services for money.[/quote]

Car buying isn't that simple and you know it. If you buy a new car you not only have to negotiate the price of the car, you probably have to negotiate financing as well. If you're buying a used car that's a whole 'nother issue; you have to make sure you're not getting a lemon and that's completely on you. And you have to negotiate how much your trade-in is worth in either case. What other transaction involves that much negotiating? What other thing that you buy has an MSRP, but no one ever pays the sticker price? At worst, when making a big purchase like new furniture or home improvements, you'd get estimates from multiple companies or look around for the best price online, then order online or in the store and get what's in your budget, whether that's Wal-Mart furniture or something custom-made or anything in between. And maybe you'd say to the salesperson, yes I want to open the store credit card to get 0% financing for 24 months or what have you. But that's the extent of it. Car buying is a whole another level of jacked up.[/quote]
