After graduating college and landing my first legitimate job I knew that it was time to purchase my first new car. There were a number of factors that I needed to take into account before I purchased anything so I decided to turn to the internet for the sales info that I needed. I had comprised a list of the specific conditions that I needed to fulfill.

First of all, I had a somewhat long commute of about sixty miles a day. With gas prices all over the place I couldn’t afford to take a chance and purchase a car with poor gas mileage and end up having to shell out four dollars a gallon all summer long. I needed to find a car that wouldn’t use an abundance of gas. My search for a vehicle would be limited to cars that had sales info available identifying them as low gas mileage.

Secondly, even though I needed a car that was energy efficient, it also had to be a four door model. My job also entailed that I respond to service calls for the medical equipment that we sold and I would frequently be sent out with replacement parts that were fairly large. I needed to utilize both my trunk and my backseat to transport these parts around and they needed to be easily accessible.

The third most important stipulation in my search for a new car was price. I had just graduated from college and I had quite a hefty monthly student loan payment. There was no way that I could take on a loan payment that was over three hundred dollars a month. I needed to find sales info that would guide me towards a moderately priced four door sedan that was good on gas.

There are several resources on the internet that can provide you with non-biased sales info on new and used cars. I was happy to find that there were several models that met all of my requirements. Once I narrowed down the field I could shop around and take all of the other features into account such as the style of the car and all the extras.

I was able to narrow down my search to two different models from separate manufacturers. I went to the individual dealerships and took them both for a test drive. The decision was an easy one; one of the cars came with a better warranty.
