Money expert Clark Howard doesn’t want you to be guided strictly by price when it comes to buying a vehicle.

He says, because the pandemic has caused uncertain economic times, you need to make sure of two things before you purchase any car:

That you need a car and were already planning on buying one
That your financial situation is stable enough to afford a car for the life of the loan period

"Even with [the great deals], buying a vehicle is a major decision," Clark says. "It is the second-biggest expense most of us have."
