 TITLE: How to Buy a New Car Online CONTENT: Test Drive the Car\n------------------\nYou can do the vast majority of the car-buying experience online, but you'll still want to take a car for a test drive before buying to make sure it's a good fit.\nDepending on the dealer, the salesperson may offer to bring the vehicle to your house to take it for a spin. If not, make an appointment with the salesperson to visit the dealership, so you don't have to wait around when you get there.\nPlan to drive around the neighborhood to get a good idea of how the car handles starts, stops and turns. If you can, take the car for a quick drive on a highway to see how it manages acceleration and high speeds. Check out the back seat to determine how roomy and comfortable it is (especially if you have a family and plan to pile into it regularly), and see if the trunk size meets your needs. END
