I don’t know what I want yet, but I want to be prepared.
I try to go on capital-one, but they have requirements (where I have to go through their dealers). Whereas I’m just looking on Cars.com
Any suggestions??
Great advice, however I don’t have a car in mind yet… I just know I want to keep the budget at $6000. Would that work?
Cuz I was always told to have the funds avail (& approved) before you even find a car.

You should check for one in your area at a car shop.
