Everybody has a car they really want, a dream car. Unfortunately in the real world most of us settle for mediocre cars all our lives and never really get what we desire. Well today we are going to teach you how to get that dream car, and not only that, but be able to afford it without difficulty.

First pay off the vehicle you own now (if any) early, without missing any monthly payments. This does three things. Primarily it builds your credit tremendously, second it frees you up financially, and third you will be paying less for the car, because you payed it off early. Even if you only payed it off a couple months early, you now have that extra money in the bank.

Now that your car is paid off, continue making car payments into a savings account. Think about it for a second. You were already use to making car payments, so it’s in your budget. If your car payment was say, $400 dollars a month, in one year of saving you now have $4800 dollars in your account. That is a healthy down payment on a new car, which will get you a lower interest rate, and less to pay off.

As of now you are well on your way to having that dream car, but care to step it up a notch? So the year has passed, you have almost $5000, it’s time to sell your used car. The best way to do this is private sale, as you get the most money for it. Plus if you car is still in a good condition, you can get a nice lump of cash. With that cash, head to your local dealership and buy the cheapest car you can see yourself driving, and finance it for a year. Make sure the car does not exceed the price you sold your last car for. Can you guess what we are going to do? Put the money from your used car sale into a separate account, and make the payments each month with that money. BE SURE to make your payments on time. Continue making your first car’s payments into that savings account. At the end of the year you now have $9600 cash, a paid off used car to trade in, and a nice credit score to boot. At a minimum, thats gets you a healthy 20% down payment on a $50,000 car, and a nice credit score that will keep the dealer happy, and your interest rates low. All this in only two years. Want an even more expensive car, or perhaps just want to pay cash? Repeat this process as many times as needed.
