If you're already shopping for an Acura...you're already heading in the right direction. So you know step one and you're already doing it! Good job. Step two may be a little less clear. Even knowing which manufacturer you trust leaves you with a seemingly endless number of questions to answer before you make your final car purchasing decision.
Step Two is deciding which model you want to buy. This isn't the time for spontaneous, instinctive decisions. This is a time for deep thought, meditation and careful planning to make sure you don't regret your purchase later! There are many models out there to choose from and you can say good things about all of them!
Make sure that you are shopping within a budget you can afford. It's best if you can afford it easily, but that's not always possible. Make sure that the total price is right and that the monthly payment after interest is something that your budget can accommodate. If you don't have a budget then make one before you head out to buy your new car. Knowing how much you can afford to buy means knowing how much you spend.
Experts suggest that the "suggested" amount to budget towards a vehicle would be 20% of your net income, but defining a budget specifically for your own needs works the best. You might find that you can rearrange your spending to accommodate your new car purchase easily.
You need to choose the model that fulfills the MOST of your needs and wants. Don't settle for too little. There are many, many options out there. Find the one that suits you!
Four wheel drive? A great sound system? Extra seating? DVD/Navigation system? Outline your needs and wants clearly in writing before you head out shopping and then separate them into two columns: needs and wants. Get as much of your list fulfilled as you can on the budget that you've given yourself. The more you're willing to look; the more likely it is that you'll find the perfect vehicle!
