The car buying process - Building confidence Part 2



Now we jump into part 2 of the 7-step car-buying process.   In part 1, we discussed helpful resources including choice architecture tools like:



We also went through lenders, lenders, and car data aggregators, plus my book and other content. 


As a recommendation, we suggest you first go through the entire process without exploring the details. The important first step to car-buying success is building a mental map of the entire car-buying decision process. Once you get a feel for the forest, it will make more sense to learn about each tree.... or, in this case, the individual steps of the car-buying process. Loading the smartphone app we recommended is also helpful at this point. It is good to start familiarizing yourself with the app and some of the other resources before jumping into the car-buying model.  Also, please refer back to this vidcast and the website materials often. Some concepts may make more sense after you get some hands-on experience.


In the video, I showcase one of my happy car-buying friends!  She used my book and the smartphone tools to make a GREAT car-buying decision!


My book, Making Choices, Making Money, is full of suggestions and provides smartphone tools to help you buy a car.
