We recently changed our car so could get better millage, use less petrol and save on the hefty car morgage. We replaced our nearly 5 yr old continental car with a brand new Japanese car as it was breaking apart due to wear and tear even though it was extremely well maintained. It's true that being practical is more important then going for branded/flashy cars. Hi David,

I own a honda city 1.5 vtec and now thinking about switching to LPG to save money. I think this is the highest expense when owning a new car, second only to maintenance.

Another thing that my dad taught me when buying a car was to neogitate! Find the most deseperate car salesperson and let him do most of the price reduction for you! Great points.

There are so many people who don't do any of this that I find quite funny sometimes. I didn't realize that insurance agents would not offer me some of the savings though so I will need to call them up! This post is awesome.

The family has grown out of our reliable but small Toyota Corolla. One thing we're going to look for and take advantage of are financing incentives. We've seen offers of 0% and .9% financing. That's like free money. We plan to have the money to cover the cost of our minivan purchase but we want to use the low financing. Just another reason why it's so important to have a great credit score! This is timely since we’ve been looking for a new car. The family has grown out of our reliable but small Toyota Corolla.
