3 Used Car Buying Tips You Need to Read
1) Know Your Needs
2) How much can you afford?
Regardless of whether you decide to buy or lease your next car, establishing a realistic monthly payment that will fit into your budget is a crucial first step. How much should this be?
A rule of thumb is your total monthly car payments — whether you own one car or more than one — shouldn't exceed 20 percent of your monthly take-home pay.

3) Leasing vs. Buying?
When it comes to weather to buy your car and finance the payments or lease a vehicle there are a lot of things to consider. Leasing is great because it allows you to drive a new vehicle every year and the trade in is covered. On the other hand buying is more flexible with no mileage restrictions and the freedom to sell it when you want it is also a good option. The key is to find something that will fit your monthly payments and give you the level of freedom you are happy with.
