What kind of car-shopper are you?

[Colin62]

It sure upped his "threads started" count...

And if Uber gave out loyalty points he'd be coining it...

I'm the "go and look at all the cars I can't afford and then cry myself to sleep at night" kind of shopper.

 

[SykomantiS]

I want good value, but at the same time if I'm forking out the amount of money that cars are going for these days, I also want to make sure that it's not something that every second person has...

This, mostly. But then I end up wanting to do what other people do to more common cars, and that doesn't always work out...
I also do lots of homework or make use of close friends/family ownership experience.

The quick shopper. I need a car, I buy it, done. Nothing more irritating than people being pedantic and evaluation options for weeks and then they end up buying mainstream blandness in the end anyway.

Value shopper: You want a quality deal at a good price.
Methodical shopper: The car-buying journey takes you a couple months.


Both of the above.

I'm methodical through and through.

Which is why I ended up with 2 Hondas.

Hmmm been one or the other at some point. This year was definitely a methodical one, then an impulsive one. Already on car number 3 for the year.

I'm the kind of shopper that doesn't take magazine quizzes on what kind of shopper I am.

Hmmm do you work for government or are you a (car) dealer or both?

Corporate lawyer, but that's besides the point. I traded my Alfa in Feb for a Q3. Q3 then proceeded to break, and was offered a Q5 on the same terms - so I snatched at that bargain without thinking twice.

 

[FiestaST]

^ cool stuff then do you sir

 

[Rouxenator]

without thinking twice.

That much is obvious.
