Recap - Step Four:
Preparing To Buy Your Car
Determine the Invoice Price:
Arrange your Auto Insurance:
- Call your current insurance company and get a price quote for your new vehicle.
- Get free online price quotes from AIG Direct
 and
 Insurance.com .
- Compare the rates and plans to choose the deal that's best for you.
Consider leasing your new car only if:
- You know you will keep the car for only 2 or 3 years.
- Or there is a factory-sponsored "lease special."
- Or your accountant or other financing professional advises you to lease.
Sell your current car:
- Sell it yourself through a classified ad in the newspapers.
- Or have a consignment lot sell it for you.
- Or sell it directly to a used car lot or the used car department of a dealership.
- Or donate your car to your favorite charity.
- Avoid trading it in to the dealership.
Arrange your Financing:
- Apply for an auto loan at your bank and/or credit union.
- Apply online at Capital One
 .
- Compare the interest rates and loan terms to choose the best financing deal.
- Get dealership financing if you qualify for a special low-interest or no-interest financing offer - or if they can beat the interest rate you got from your bank, credit union or online financier.
Arrange your Down Payment:
- Have about 10% of the sticker price in cash, factory rebate and/or trade-in equity.
