December 11, 2008 Auto Bailout Federal Loan Senate Vote
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) March 22, 2007
Is it time to trade in that old clunker car? Thinking about upgrading to a luxury automobile? Buying a car comes with a mix of emotions. It’s an exciting experience but along with the thrill comes a certain level of anxiety. Before heading out to your local dealership, make sure to review the following most common car buying mistakes to ensure you don’t drive away in something more or less than what you want.
The following car buying mistakes are provided by LendingTree.com.
1. Not researching in advance
Even if you’ve narrowed your choice to a couple of different models, do your homework before setting foot on a dealer’s lot. After all, it’s easy to fall in love with something on the lot, only to have your hopes dashed when you later check the safety rating.
2. Not taking a test-drive.
You wouldn’t buy an expensive item of clothing without trying it on. Yet many people buy a car after only taking a quick spin around the block — or without test-driving at all. Test drives should last at least 30 minutes and should include both highway driving and stop-and-go driving.
3. Negotiating from the sticker price.
Ignore the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (also called the sticker price) of a new car and look at the invoice price instead. That is the amount the dealer paid to the manufacturer. Negotiate your price up from this, not from the sticker price.
4. Buying unnecessary extras.
Watch for “extras” that may cost you more. While you may not be able to avoid things like sales tax and licensing fees, you can avoid paying for extras like rust proofing or stain-proofing the seats. Even if you want these things done, you can likely arrange to have them installed for a less expensive cost elsewhere.
4. Not considering all your financing options.
Dealers offer incentives that sound tempting but are usually only able to do say because the “deal” includes paying a higher purchase price. Sometimes you can get a better financing deal with an outside lender, so explore your options before financing through the dealer. While it’s convenient to finance with the dealer, it’s not always your best option financially.

Question by bigeasy13: How do I get auto loan to pay private seller and my taxes/title/tags fees at DMV?
I’ve been pre-approved for a auto loan at the credit union in which I was originally going to purchase a vehicle at a dealership until a guy in my office offered me his truck. I now want to buy his truck using the loan but I also wanted to go ahead and add in the tax/title/tags fees into the loan amount as well. Is this even possible? I know the amount I was pre-approved for is well over the cost of the truck and fees combined.
Best answer:
Answer by Charlie T You are pre-approved on a vehicle for the amount of the loan value of that vehicle. Your sales tax will be based on the rate of the state and any local taxes in your city or county. The dmv can give the amount for the tag and title fees. The total of the truck, tax, tag and fees is the amount you’re looking to borrow, but you can probably count on having to have the money for the tax and fees and more depending on how much you’re paying for the truck.
Question by Mr. Diddy: Can sales tax for a private party car purchase be added to a bank loan?
If you purchase a car from a private seller, in New York State you have to pay sales tax at the DMV. The tax amount is determined by the sale price of the vehicle. My question is: Can the amount that you will have to pay for tax be added to the bank loan; in turn not having to pay the taxes at the DMV because it’s already included in the loan? (I’m in New York State)
I know that taxes are not payable to the bank. But if you were to purchase a car from a dealer, they could add all the costs, including registering the car, and taxes, and you could get a loan from a bank to pay for all of that. But my question is, when buying from a private seller, can the tax be included in the loan so as to give the buyer a break from having to pay cash out of his pocket to pay the tax at the DMV. It is in NO way a tactic to try and get around paying taxes, it is simply having the cost of the tax included in the loan. The state will still get the tax money.
Best answer:
Answer by Paul Ding Taxes aren’t payable to the bank. They’re payable to the state. You still have to pay the taxes, whether you borrow the money to do so or not.
If your banker is loaning you the full purchase price of the car, he ought to have his head examined. If he’s loaning you not just the full purchase price of the car, but sales tax as well, FDIC oughta have the bank’s books examined.

Question by MississippiSam: What are the financial benefits of buying a used car from a private owner vs a dealer?
I’m thinking of buying a used car for about $ 25k to $ 30k. If I buy – let’s say a $ 30k car from a dealer in Mississippi, the sales tax will be $ 1500 (5%). But if I buy a $ 30k car from a private owner, there is no sales tax of course.
My question is: Will I have to pay any additional taxes when I buy my tag if I go the private owner route?
Best answer:
Answer by nanoman Even if you buy in a state with no sales tax, you will have to pay sales tax in the state you live in — assuming you don’t live in Mississippi and your state has a sales tax on used cars. You pay at the time your register your car in your state.
