Buying a new car possibly?

Question

So my car now is being g*y again and I don't want to repair. So I am looking into getting a new car and my Credit is good but great. I am college student and I notice alot of dealers offer college students great deals like the Honda Graduate program and Nissan has a College Graduate program. I am looking at the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa 5door CVT 4 door 1.8 Liter. I need some advice. Has any ever had any of these two cars whats good about them and what not. Also when talking to a dealer what should I ask and how should I go about negations and things like that? What do I ask where do I begin? Def. Test drive them right? and How do I not get roped into something how do I go about this! Please help....

Ok so the deal is, the Fit and the Versa are not going to have much mark up, depending on the model you buy it may only have a $500 dollar mark up.  So you should not go in and expect a lot of money off of the sticker price.  Make sure they do not mark the car up on you, some dealers that sell these cars will put additional dealer mark up on them to make more money.  Some dealers will put a c.d. player in the car, they only paid $300 for the player and they charge you $695 or they tint the windows, their cost is $160 and they charge you $295 etc.

Go to edmunds.com look up the invoice and the sticker price that way you will know what you are paying.  Take your time and do not rush into something.

Read the contracts and make them explain every number or fee they are charging you for.  

You are looking at 2 great cars, I would go with the Fit, I think Honda is the best built car in the world....Good Luck.

Dont buy a new car.  You'll only be tied down and have to pay for that car for 3 or 4 years.  Why?  Just lease a car instead, you'll get tired of that car in 2 years anyway.   If you lease it you can let it go and lease another new baby.
