Buying a car should be straightforward with internet car shopping, competitive pricing, and the ability to browse cars at your fingertips. However, that isn’t always the case.

With the inception of COVID-19 in 2020, car buying in 2021 and beyond has changed. For better or worse, inventory, fuel efficiency, technology packages, and how we go about buying a car are radically changing.

When purchasing a new or used vehicle, beginning with the type you want is reasonable, but everything should stem from the budget.

Budgeting for a car is vital. After housing expenses, automobile expenses are the most costly budgetary item for adults.
