I've bought or helped buy a few new cars in my life. It can be an incredibly intimidating process, however, if you go in with the attitude that it's your money, and you get to choose how you want to spend it, then that puts you ahead of the game.
Check one of my old posts on my experience buying my last car (Mazda).
An important tip I think. Be prepared to walk away for even $100 difference than what you want to pay. Don't be a dick, but hold your ground. If it's any of those 'added fees' or unreasonable or unnecessary costs, just say thanks but no thanks. I will guarantee that 99% of the time, they will not let you walk out that door without making a deal.
Dealers prey on those who fall in love with the car, are desperate, or just are willing to take it.
