In addition to what @
shaggy listed, if you are a recent graduate (within 2 years since graduating from a 4-year program, 2-year program, or graduate program) you can ask for the $1,000 college grad discount to be applied to your purchase. They will ask for a copy of your diploma and transcripts once you complete your deal. My first payment is 45 days from purchase date.
One of the most important thing you have to remember before you start your first car purchase experience: make sure you EAT something before you go! When I bought my Whiteout unicorn last month, I went around lunch time and had forgone lunch as I wasn't hungry. Needless to say, 2.5 hours into the buying experience while sitting in the finance office, I was SOOO HUNGRY! It made it quite difficult to concentrate in the midst of all the paperwork you have to sign and on top of that what warranties you should turn down. Needless to say, when I got home that night I realized I probably should have said "No" more times than I didn't while sitting in the finance office. Now I am in the process of cancelling these warranties, so hopefully they won't give me too much trouble.
If you don't eat something before you go make your car purchase, at least pack a snack
