Buying a car for the first time
Hi All,
I am planning to buy my first car soon. After a lot of consideration, I have my hear fixed on an used 2015/2016 Hyundai Sonata. I have couple of questions which I would like to know before I walk into a dealership:
a. Between Sonata 2015 and 2016, there have been not major changes. Should I be getting a 2015 or 2016 Sonata
b. I looked online and found a lot of options on pre-owned and certified pre-owned cars. I know that certified cars make for a safer bet, but does it make that much of a difference - especially if I can ask for a car proof and get any pre-owned car checked by an independent car expert?
c. August is generally the time when the newer models of Sonata will come in (in this case 2017). Hyundai dealers are already giving cash discounts on 2016 models because they (maybe) want to prepare for the 2017 models. Should I wait till 2017 model is announced for 2015/2016 prices to go down or do you think getting a car in July is as good as it will get?
