2 IMPORTANT points to note for anyone coming to the USA
This is to do with normal cost of living etc
1. NEVER EVER pay full price for anything
2. When looking at larger purchases, NEVER rush in and ALWAYS do your research - consumers don;t have the same protection as in the UK
American is land of cut price deals and the UNeducated consumer
Coupons, discount codes and managers specials rule, even if no discount is shown in Best Buy, have a friendly chat with the manager, he will likely give you 10% off
On a domestic car NEVER pay much more than dealer invoice, in fact, avoid at all costs unless you want to be r@ped by depreciation
Make sure your credit report is good by fixing any innacuracies... this will impact everything from the car insurance rate you pay, the length of time for interest free balance transfers and the rate you pay on your mortgage
