1-Use the Internet to research vehicle types, makes, models, options, features, and prices. Visit websites such to see actual prices and photos of nearly every vehicle make and model.

2-Print out fact sheets or information about the vehicles you are interested in, so you can remind yourself about what you want when you step onto the lot.

3-Bring key paperwork items with you, including title and registration for your current vehicle, your driver's license, and insurance card.

4-If you have been pre-approved for a car loan, bring the approval letter with you.

5-Find a car retailer and salesperson you like and trust by asking friends and family for referrals.

6-Find a car retailer that is open and transparent in the transaction.

7-Look for a retailer that offers low, no-haggle prices and a la carte pricing on each part of the car buying transaction � the vehicle price, the warranty, the trade-in, and the financing. Beware of extraneous, unexplained fees.

8-Get a fair offer on your trade-in separately from your car purchase. Have your car appraised to help you understand the fair value of your "trade-in" before you start shopping.

9-Have confidence in your car shopping abilities. You have done your research and are prepared to make a smart car buying decision
.
10-Do not hesitate to ask lots of questions � as many as you need so that you understand exactly what you are paying for. Be prepared to walk away if you are unhappy with your car buying experience.
"Being prepared to walk away can be tough to do, especially if you have spent a lot of time on one car lot," says Wassel. "But if you are not pleased with the car buying process, it's worth it � remember, you are the one who has to drive the car and make the payments, not the salesperson."
