How I bought my sports car?
 
By Sarandeep Singh


Like many others, even I have landed in the US with many dreams. Buying a sports car was one among them. In the first year of my stay in the US, I bought a second hand Camry. In the second year, I started planning to have a sports car.

I started researching on the sports car market. I had to buy a car that fits my

budget but still has got the facilities preferred. The list of questions I answered before making a purchase decision.

  1. Budget. How much do I intend to spend?
  2. How much space do I need?
  3. Should I consider a convertible?
  4. What are my speed transmission options?
  5. Engine performance. Do I require lots of horsepower or a high-reviving engine?
  6. Layout. Whether I would like to have the horse in front of the carriage or in the rear or mid engine.

Once I answered the questions I prepared a checklist of things to be done:

  1. Consider the resale value.
  2. Compare insurance premiums, as sports cars are expensive to insure.
  3. Test-drive some cars.
  4. Rank the cars based on my priorities. After that, rank based on price. Compare the two rankings and finally select two. To make sure test-drive both these cars once again.
  5. After deciding upon the car collect the pricing information of the car on the Internet, decided on the colors and option packages.
  6. Get my loan together
  7. Return to the sales person and tell him what I require.

I negotiated with the sales person and finally got my sports utility vehicle for a good price.
