First Time Car Buyer

[nikki25]

I'm 25 (that's what the Nikki25 is for), and I'm going to purchase my first car in the next month or so. I've been doing some searches on the net for cars and general car buying research. However, there's just some things that books/web articles can't tell you.

I'd love to hear from you all about any advice you'd give to a first-timer at the car buying game (cuz I know it is a game). Both anecdotal and factual information would be helpful.
