It is time to buy a new car, and you have done a considerable amount of research on the matter over the past weeks. From several articles in consumer magazines and scrutiny of numerous auto-buying Web sites, you have reviewed an impressive body of information on different models repair records, road handling, specifications and features, comfort, customer satisfaction, and so on. You have test-driven a half-dozen candidates and discussed prices with several dealers for each model.
