How soon is too soon to start researching your purchase?
Recently, there was a spirited thread in which the op stated he was a couple of years away from buying a new Camaro, and was in the process of talking to dealers. I've always been a believer in doing my homework weeks, maybe a few months in advance when it comes to car buying, i.e. Consumer Reports, Edmunds, etc. I think it leads to a more satisfying purchase. However, I feel it's best to wait until you've got money in the bank before approaching a dealer. Maybe you're someone whose research begins at the dealership. When should you research/visit the dealer/buy? For me, it was July-Oct/Oct. 3/Oct. 6.
