I've got good credit. Established credit. I really want a Toyota Yaris. So it's not an overally expensive car. What's the quickest way to buy it?

Do your research and visit at least two Toyota dealers. Get a written proposal from each and pit one against the other. There is no shortcut to buying a new car. They are only sold through authorized dealers and competition will only bring the price down a bit. Don't get caught up in payment size or other dealer nonsense. You want the best CASH price and bring your own financing. You will have a lot more leverage if you are able to walk away from a deal that is not good enough. Drool on the hood and you can expect to pay extra for falling in love with a car before you bought it. Good luck. The Yaris should be a great first car. Toyota makes very good cars that hold their resale value. Pay as much down as you can and finance the balance for no more than 36 months. Any longer and you will get stuck in upsidedown car land for the rest of your life.

Work your but off & pay cash for it. You don't want to finance a car (trust me, learned the hard way) even you think you can make the payments, there might be a month where an emergency comes up and now you are a month behind. then you get stuck trying forever to make it up and then everything else crumbles around you. DO NOT FINANCE YOUR CAR....
Ever since I paid my cars off I feel like I got a huge raise at work. All that money goes into savings and the next time I go buy a car, I will actually buy it, with cash.
Buy a car you can pay cash for and work your way up from there. I assure you that end the end you will be much happier.

Research the internet, ask for quotes...
Bring a family member or a trusted friend with you.
Check more that one dealer, don't believe the bull... that the car is not going to be there tomorrow.
Don't get fooled with low payments, usually you can end up paying 2 cars.

Save and pay cash for it. You will save yourself thousands in interest.
