Time for a new car

And so the time has come for me to say goodbye to my current car, and get a new one.

If anybody knows any great reads (like other blogger's car buying experiences) or car buying tips, please let me know. I've done my research online, I know which car I want. I think the hard part for me is negotiating, but I have help on that front. I am not going the used car route.

I also have to sell my car, which in itself is a hassle, but the dealerships offered me seriously crappy estimates, when I know they will sell the car for $5,000-$8000 more. Any advice/tips for selling a car are also greatly appreciated.

On another note, I closed my Twitter account because it became too distracting (especially at work) and I found myself constantly checking my iPhone. I don't have an addictive personality, but it was getting to be a bit too much.

I'm scared of negotiating too. Could you sell your car privately? I have no useful advice, but getting a new car is so exciting! Hmm, i do think ramit's "I will teach you to be rich" site might have something on car negotiating?

Do you mind sharing what kind you picked out?

Sorry, I have absolutely no help or advice for buying a car. I have a bike, and I drive the boyfriend's car.

In any event, best of luck with everything! Your last post seemed kind of down, so I hope all is well.

for buying a car, go to cars direct for special dealer incentives, and prices. take that and negotiate. i got $5000 off my car b/c of cars direct.
