6Follow up your search by contacting the seller to discuss price and payment options. You can choose to finance your vehicle locally, or you can have it financed by the dealership where it is located. Either way, don't hesitate to shop around for financing quotes to find the best interest rate and terms.

7Discuss pricing, and don't hesitate to negotiate if you are dealing with a personal seller as opposed to a dealership. Find out also if the vehicle has a CarFax report available so that the condition of the car is transparent to you as the buyer.

8Discuss how the vehicle will make its way to you. Find out if the seller will ship it to you, deliver it to you or if you will have to make arrangements to pick it up.
