We live in a wonderful age of free information. Even if you do not own a com-puter or smartphone, you only need to hop down to the nearest library to access a globally linked wealth of information. This means you can turn to the Internet and the World Wide Web of interconnected computers to research your next car purchase.

If you head over to Google and search for "top car buying apps," you will receive millions of results. You can certainly work your way through those results if you like, or we can save you some time. The following 5 car buying apps can give you valuable information that might save you money the next time you purchase a ve-hicle (listed in no particular order).

1 – Kelly Blue Book App

Before the Internet arrived, the Kelly Blue Book was a trusted resource for used car buyers. It was annually updated, delivering information about the purchase price on vehicles by year, make, and model. Now the online version of the Kelly Blue Book introduces new and used car information, while also offering online and offline access.

2 – Edmunds.com

You can browse car reviews on Edmunds.com, and the trusted car buying website also offers financing options before you buy your vehicle. You are provided with auto calculators that reveal your car's true cost, and you can shop for your next vehicle as well.

3 – TrueCar.com

TrueCar promises to help you "Get the True Price – the Actual Price You Will Pay at the Dealership." You can shop new and used cars in your area and get the true cash offer of your trade-in in just a few minutes. From the home page, you select either the new or used option, and then shop by a manufacturer and make.

4 – CARFAX

CARFAX is essential if you want to learn the real information behind a used vehi-cle. If you are purchasing a used car from a friend, family member, neighbor, or stranger, get the VIN. CARFAX will turn that number into valuable information which shows previous repairs and vehicle history reports.

5 – CarMax

CarMax takes negotiating out of the equation. A lot of people don't know how to negotiate, or they don't like having to haggle. Salespeople are excellent negotia-tors. This could mean that you are put in a poor position for getting the best pos-sible price on a vehicle.

The free CarMax app lets you contact dealers in your area, shop and search for used cars, and scan VINs to see if there is a similar vehicle near you. You can also sell your current vehicle separately and get instant offers for cash that you can put down on a vehicle purchase.

Buy a Used Car Online to Save Money and Time

Your time is valuable to you. You are only given 24 hours a day. If you are like most people, you are probably very busy already. When you think about the fact that you are going to have to buy another car soon, you might understandably begin to become stressed out at the mere thought of that experience.

You have to haggle with the dealership and the salesperson. You need to do some investigation into your finances and see what you can afford. You may have to drive to several dealerships and spend a lot of time and effort (as well as gas money) and end up settling on something that is not what you want.

You get so frustrated by the process that you just buy something that is close to what you want, rather than getting a great price on the exact car you are looking for. It doesn't have to be this way. You can save a lot of time and money when you learn how to buy a used car online. Here are a few tips for purchasing your next vehicle online, proven methods of saving money while getting the vehicle you want.

Head to Cars.com and AutoTrader.com, then Edmunds.com

If all you do is check out these websites to buy your next used vehicle, you can wind up with a great deal. It may take a little time, but the time spent searching at your leisure on your laptop or smartphone rather than driving all over town and fighting traffic while dealing with intimidating salespeople is much more enjoya-ble. You can narrow your search to makes or models, vehicles with a certain amount of mileage, different price ranges, or features and accessories. After you locate something that looks like a steal of a deal at Cars.com or AutoTrader, head over to Edmunds.com. Use their appraisal tool to check out the average price people are paying in your area for that same vehicle. This lets you know if you are getting a deal or paying too much.

An Attractive Price Does Not Make up for lack of Paperwork

When buying used, the car you select should be accompanied by maintenance pa-perwork. You only want to purchase a vehicle you know has been well main-tained. Don't let a bargain-basement price tag make you overlook the fact that there is no maintenance paperwork accompanying a used vehicle. People who take care of their cars, trucks, and SUVs have the paperwork to prove that they have done so.

Let Carsala Do the Haggling for You

If time is at a premium and you hate negotiating the best price, why not let a pro-fessional do it? Carsala is a used car buying service that does all the dirty work for you. Using the site couldn't be easier. You search for a make and model vehicle, and then you receive a list of matching offers. Choose the offers that look the most attractive to you, and the professional negotiators at Carsala go to work to get you the best possible price.

Buying a Car? Talk as Little as Possible to Get the Best Price

A successful salesperson is very good at what he or she does. In some cases, the person you are dealing with when you are shopping for a vehicle has had decades of sales experience. They know what you are thinking before you think it, and they also understand exactly what they need to say to get any conversation under their control.
