I'm going to start saving for a new car. If I put back $150 a week, I'll have $2400 by Jan. 1st. I think I can do it. I'm excited.

Join a credit union. Start a savings account and then use them for financing. Then, whenever you find the vehicle you want to buy go back to the union, see how much they'll give you for it, then go back to the dealer (or whomever) and you'll have more bargaining power. Trust me, you want the upper hand with them. And walking out is your best bargaining tool if they're not speaking numbers you like. Oh, and shop on the VERY last week/day of the month.

Call me if you need any help. Cody and I pretty much have this car buying thing down (and we learned from some really good sources). That's pretty much all I've down for the past month and a half.

Oh! And www.edmunds.com is incredibly helpful, especially if you want to get a better idea of the value of the vehicle you're looking at. It's lower than the Kelley Blue Book value (and you want as low as possible!)
