It’s now easier than ever to shop for cars online. But, to find the right model, you have to be smart about how you research, and that means answering these key questions.

New or Used (or Maybe Certified Pre-Owned)?

The first thing to think about when looking for your car is if you want a new or used vehicle.

Certified Pre-Owned is another choice, offering the value of a used vehicle with the quality-assurance of a new model. Your budget can determine which type of car you’re leaning towards.

Which Body Styles are You Looking for?

The next area to consider is the body style. If you want a big interior that fits a lot of people, an SUV is a good choice.

If you’re looking for great handling and fuel economy, you may want to go with a sedan. If you see towing and hauling in your future, consider a pickup truck.

What are Your Must-Haves and Nice-to-Haves?

Surely you have a few essentials for your next ride. This could include lots of cargo room, advanced safety features, or a premium sound system.

There are also probably features you’d like to see but maybe aren’t essential, such as heated seats or a Wi-Fi hot spot. Making a list of your needs and wants can help you narrow down your choices significantly.

Don’t Forget the Test Drive

While you can get a lot of details and information about vehicles online, it doesn’t measure up to experiencing a car or truck in person.

Once you’ve found a couple of models you like, you need to take them out for a test drive. Seeing how they perform out on the road can help you determine which model is best for you.
