  Step 1. How do you start?  
  Buying a car needn't be an ordeal; not if you're properly informed before you begin. Even with the large amount of automotive information available on the Internet, many people still purchase a new car within only a few days of deciding to buy. This leaves a huge opportunity for buyers to be "sold" a car rather than making an informed buying decision.

Remember, as a buyer, you are the one in the "driver's seat" throughout the entire car-buying process. You'll be making many choices along the way before you even step into a dealership. With plenty of reliable information available, "virtual car shopping" can be a lot of fun. So, even if you already have a strong sense about the vehicle you want, take some time to start your search with a "blank slate" and you may be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

How do you start? It's easy. Take a look at the following types of shoppers and decide which one best describes you. After that, begin your vehicle search by using one of the convenient short cuts shown below or simply follow all 10 steps of Buying by the Book to cover all the bases.
