Firstly, you must decide whether you'd like to buy a new car or a used car. The answer to this question depends primarily on your income level. If you have a steady full time job and a high income level, it may be a wise idea to buy a brand new car instead of a used one.

If you are a student or if you are struggling to make ends meet, it may be wise to get a used car. If you are getting a used car, try to make sure you get your car from a reputable dealership with good customer satisfaction ratings. Always get a CarFax report before you buy your used car.

Think about what types of material or items you'll commonly be hauling, and get a pickup truck that can meet that need.

If you have a large family, it may be wise to get a minivan. A minivan can help you transport the kids back and forth to school and their soccer games and their other needed occasions. When you have a family where more than one person drives, it may be wise to get a minivan and a car that seats a few additional people. This will help make transportation easier and more manageable.
