These days there are really great tools for all of us who want to be well educated and ready for getting the best deal possible. One of the latest new tools is the web site Checkbook.org

This site provides you with the ability to find out each week what are the current incentives that are being given to dealers in your geographic area. The newsletter / list of incentives costs US$7.

You need to check out also your local credit union to find out what are the best loan deals at the moment. There are rarely good deals given by the auto manufacturer or the car dealership.

You need to check out also the local library and read the recent issues of Consumers Reports, of course you can also check out Consumers Reports Web site to see whether the vehicle you are considering is considered reliable and what is its safety record.

For the later, the safety record, you can also check out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
