Indian professionals purchasing a new car in USA

How and where from can I purchase a car? Is it better to purchase a used car or a new car? What do I need to keep in mind while purchasing a vehicle?

When buying a car first check on how much you can afford to spend. Your decision to purchase a new car or used car will depend on your affordability. Typically an used car will have a higher maintenance cost, however a new car depreciates significantly in the first couple of years.

Identify your needs and look for only those vehicles that meet your needs. Shop around for financing-terms- tenure, down payment, and interest-rates, finance charges- before you choose a car. If possible take a friend or colleague who has been through this experience so that you don’t end up paying extra. Remember that car dealers in the US are very slick salesmen and you must be wary and prepared to bargain.
