One of the first big purchases young adults make is a vehicle. What type of vehicle suits you best? Do you need a truck so you can haul things? Do you typically have a number of passengers, which would make a van best? Do you have special needs for a small business? These are just some of the questions you have to ask yourself when contemplating getting a vehicle. One of the other big questions will be “How do I pay for the vehicle?”
