• Never buy a car out of desperation/excitement. Both emotion can be blinding. Read that contract, especially the small print.
• Ask someone else to help you read that contract before you sign it. This person must have some knowledge of how contracts work.
• Sleep on the decision . Don’t make a decision there and there. Things may look very different the following day.
• Take the contract home with you and read it over a day or two, some may tell you you can’t. If they do, walk away, it smells like a trap.
• There’ll always be a nice car in the market for your affordability or budget. Don’t let them hype you.
• They’ll sweet talk or put pressure on you, but don’t be intimidated. You’re the one with the money they want.
• Decide if this is the kind of deal you want to tie yourself to. If it does not SERVE YOU, walk away!
