Very informative article you have here. I would also like to add that when you are buying your first car, it is important to shop around. Dealerships often have different prices and to get the best deal possible, it is a must to look around and visit sites often. You might come across online-only specials. Sites such as Edmunds.com and KBB.com can be very valuable for people wanting to buy their first car. It also never hurts to bring someone who is very good at negotiating.
