Buying a new car

[KoreanZawmbie]

price, gas mileage. I travel upstate to Putnam county often so i need something that isnt going to put a dent in my wallet on gas alone.

I'd look into a slightly used corolla, or new hyundai accent/

taking a women with you is the kiss of death. the dealer will ignore you and play on your womans emotions and enthusiasm, knowing you may give in.

So I'm finally buying a new car thanks to a pre-approved loan through my credit union. Now mind you, I got approved for about 28k but only asked for 22k. Im looking at a 2013 Versa (yea dont flame me too hard).

But thats not why I'm here. I have two questions. I've never actually bought a new car. My previous two cars were both used. Im expecting the check from the bank sometime next week. Now my question is, do i go there with the check in hand or do i get the dealership to agree on a price and then go to the bank and have them cut the dealership for that amount? I'm assuming its the latter. I already know what I want as far as the car goes (white, technology package, splash guards, and carpeted floors). Around here its going for about 18k give or take. Im sure I can get them down a few grand since im paying everything upfront to the dealership (how much so i don't know.)

Second question is, what amount should i throw at them? I want to go in and say 16.5k (i have a shitty trade in so im factoring that in as well). Is that too low or a good ball park estimate?

So you are going to drive into the city now?

How will anyone get to see your shoe collection?
