America is a huge country. From coast to coast is about 4000 miles, more than 6400 km. It takes about 5 days to travel from coast to coast. Thus, the distances are different from those in Europe or most other countries. This is probably why one of the first investments you'll ever, is to buy a car. In the U.S. a car is not a luxury but a real necessity.

Compared to other States, who own a car in the U.S. that does not cost a fortune. There is no need to use for years to save enough money to buy a car. You can buy cars for as low as a few hundred dollars, you can make money with a week's work.

Keep your camera is not necessarily expensive. Car repairs can be expensive, but doing your homework and choosing the right car can save a lot of money and nerves on the long term. Maintenance costs are generally very low. Price of petrol has increased in recent years, but compared to Europe or many other countries, gasoline prices in the United States are half or less than other countries.

In this chapter, I would like to share some of my experiences first hand about buying a car, and some useful resources that can help you buy the (first) vehicle. And because most people who are new to the United States have a limited budget (like myself when I bought my first car), this chapter will focus more on how to buy a used car or used car with a limited budget in mind, instead of buying a new or expensive with luxury extras. But the principles presented here can help you choose and buy a car, new or old, more expensive or cheaper one.
