Car buying involves selecting and purchasing a vehicle that meets your needs and budget. It typically starts with research on different car models, brands, and features to determine what fits your lifestyle. Buyers often consider factors like fuel efficiency, safety ratings, and resale value before making a decision. Once a suitable car is identified, the next steps include test driving, negotiating the price, and securing financing if necessary. Buyers can choose between new and used cars, each with its own advantages. Completing the purchase usually involves signing a contract and transferring ownership through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
