Robert Amlot has a concern, he thinks that the majority of people who buy a car could be enjoying it more than they are, and he knows why they aren�t. He says that most people go to the dealership and look at the car that they want, they test drive it, agree on a price and buy it. So why is this a bad thing? Because most people end up leaving feeling like they are spending too much for the car even though it was the price they wanted.
Sometimes they end up spending more than they would have, other times it is the fact that the interest rate they ended up getting was too high  either way they are not happy with the monthly payment that they know they are going to be responsible for - for the next 48 months. But Amlot says that there is a better way to buy a car.He says that buyers need to go to the bank or the credit union before they go to the dealership. Not only will they be able to go with cash in hand,which helps their buying power, but they will know exactly how much they can afford and what they can’t. They will also know the interest rate for their new purchase, so that when they go to buy the car, the financing part of it is already taken care of.Amlot maintains that if you know where you stand, and don’t have the dread of waiting to see what your monthly payment will be, you will have a much better time picking out the car you want. This way, you only look at cars that you can afford, and then drive one home knowing that this is yours for the next several years  and it is a good thing instead of a payment that you dread.
