Consumers beware: there is more to a car purchase than just the MSRP

COSTA MESA, CA - Making that decision to have the car fixed or to buy new is a big one. Most consumers begin the car shopping process by setting a monthly or overall budget. However, the overall or monthly budget for a new car purchase isn't the only cost that should be considered when researching cars. Too often there are vital costs that are overlooked and should be considered when determining a budget. Fees and taxes can be a surprise during a vehicle purchase and depending on the state can typically include sales tax, documentation fees and registration which add up quickly. In addition, insurance costs, fuel, maintenance and typical repairs should also be included in the overall cost calculations for the vehicle.
