Money expert Clark Howard still wants you to watch your budget when it comes to buying a car, especially with today’s economy being what it is.

"Even with [the great deals], buying a vehicle is a major decision," Clark says. "It is the second-biggest expense most of us have."

So Clark suggests you buy a car right now only under two conditions:
  • You were already planning on buying a car because you need one.
  • Your financial outlook is steady for the life of the car loan.

Final Thoughts

The process of car shopping has changed a bit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many dealers are catering to online buyers and arranging for contactless delivery.

"Since almost everyone is set up to negotiate and complete a deal online, the ability to shop with multiple sellers is extra-easy right now," Clark says.

But you should still be mindful of saving money. Looking to buy a car? Here's how to do it in five easy steps.
