So, you got your license and now you want your own car. You might not get your dream car, but with some work you can get a pretty good used one.
First, get the word out to family and friends that you are interested in buying a car, you could get a good deal and the next steps would be unnecessary.
Step 1. If you have to find a car, look around online, find the car you want
Step 2. Get the CarFax and the Blue Book Value. The CarFax will show you if the car has been in any accidents and how well it has been maintained. The Blue Book Value is based on the condition and mileage and will be your target price.
Step 3. Don’t get attached! If it’s a bad deal, be ready to walk away.
