I'm moving to the US in a week, how do I buy a car there? I plan to rent an Ecoboost Mustang for 2 weeks or a month (to get used to high-HP RWD cars), then buy a Mustang GT with my relocation money. I'll be moving to Dallas btw.

>have drivers license
>go to dealer
>buy car
>buy insurance
kind of like that plus more paperwork.
Ford target the V8 Mustang to young drivers and the average American consumer. It's designed from the ground up to be an easy, powerful drive. And it is.
You are not buying a TVR or an Ultima or some other mental track weapon/shed nightmarehere. It will not suddenly kill you, or set you and your loved ones on fire. It's a large, easy to park, sensible car with a big floaty engine. Renting the V6 would be a waste of time.
You have to get financing at your bank first.
>no, none of you autists have enough cash to buy a new car outright
>NO you don't you're lying.
Ecoboost is the 4 cylinder.
Ecoboost or V6, doesn't matter really.
I've never driven something that wasn't 4-cyl and fwd. I want to make sure I won't wreck it at the first rain. Does it snow in Dallas? I've never driven in the snow.
Buying new? It's not difficult but can be kind of draining/ stressful.
Visit at least 2 or 3 dealerships, get quotes, see who you like the best.
The salesperson and finance guy will help you with paperwork. Don't let them be too pushy, and make sure you understand what you're signing. They'll put a lot of stuff in front of you to sign that isn't important but just make sure they're not sneaking in extra shit you may not want like extended warranties and stuff. You have to be vigilent with that, and it is a pain.
You can get lending from the dealership or from your US bank. Talk to someone at your bank first and get a loan pre-approval letter. Just bring it with and the dealership will sort it our with your bank. I prefer to use a credit union, they have the lowest interest rates but sometimes the dealership will offer a really low rate.
If you can bring a friend or coworker with it can help.
do you have legit downs
OP said he was using his relocation shekels, nothing about needing financing.
Rarely does it snow in Dallas. I think most winters it does not, but it happens from time to time. Don't worry no one else there knows how to handle snow either.
