Finding the right car can and should be a thought out process. To avoid feeling overwhelmed by the different vehicle options and to find the right car for you, you will want to research multiple factors laid out below.

Payment
The biggest factor you will need to look into is your monthly payment. Will you be buying or leasing a car? How much money are you willing to put as a down payment? How long do you want to be committed to monthly payments for? Look into these factors and determine how much you can afford to spend. In some cases, the lease for a type of car may be lower than actually buying that car. There are numerous financial calculators that can be found from reputable websites that will help you determine what your monthly payment would be. When determining what monthly payment you can afford, you will also want to keep in mind things like car insurance and gas. The insurance payment is based upon multiple factors; however each model of car you choose, the insurance payment may be drastically different. Like with insurance, the gas intake will also change with every model. You may find yourself spending more than you’d like if you do not look into these additional factors.

Lifestyle
When you have determined your price range, determine what type of car will best fit your lifestyle. While you may be most attracted to a sports car, if you are having to transport kids, pets, or bulky materials, an SUV or minivan may be the most realistic choice for you. You will also want to look into the different options offered in a car, such as entertainment, luxury interiors or towing packages (these will most likely increase your monthly payment as well, and may want to be thought about when determining your budget). Will you be driving long distances? Some lease agreements only allow for a certain amount of mileage per year, and charge for every mile over. Do you live in an area with blistering winters? You may want to look into a vehicle that can handle daunting weather conditions.

Preference
After narrowing down your options, you will then be able to decide which car fits your personal preference. Even if you are not able to afford the car of your dreams, you will still be able to pick out the colors of the interior and exterior of your car, and can personalize it to your liking. In most cases you will be tied down to this car for a minimum of two to three years, so make sure the car is something you enjoy and are comfortable driving.

Start the process by researching all of the different vehicles out there. Then make a list of the things you are looking for. Do this in the beginning and it will make it easier for you in the end. You will go into the car dealership without feeling bombarded by the many options available and have clear idea of what you are looking for.
