And while you are at it, be sure to read a good tips site for buying a car - I like:

http://www.carbuyingtips.com

but there are pleanty of other good ones out there too. Be sure to fill out the spreadsheet from chapter 4 once you do decide which X is the one for you so you will know if you are getting a good deal or not.

Don't be afraid to go to multiple dealers (I faxed over 30) and yeah, don't go in person unles you like abuse - several of us have sample faxes you can tweak and use that are quite effective.

Most importantly, read up! The more informed you are, the more money you save - the more money you save the more is in your pocket - a good place for it opposed to the dealers pocket
