Cars are expensive. Ask anyone. And this doesn't just refer to the price of a new car, but also to the maintenance and upkeep as well. Even getting your oil changed (if you don't do it yourself) can cost $50+ depending on where you go.
Or what about when some small plastic part breaks and the dealer quotes you $180 for a replacement (and that's just the price of the part; it doesn't include labor!). Fortunately, the internet can help you save some money in two main ways:
Car forums - Almost anything that has a fanbase in real life has a discussion forum on the the internet where people talk about it. There are often car forums for many different types of cars, and on these forums you can find people with a lot of experience dealing your particular model.
You can get information about common problems (and how to fix them!) and inside information on how to get better deals at dealerships. There are also often explanation on forums of how to do some simple repairs or maintenance yourself for free and tell you where to get the parts you need, which leads to the next point:
Cheap car parts - You can find almost any car part online for significantly less than your dealer would charge. This includes everything from interior lights to tires.
The only downside is sometimes you may have to wait a little bit longer to have it shipped to you compared to going and getting it immediately from the dealer (unless the dealership has to order it).
Plus, as you spend some time on car forums, you may even make some friends that you keep in contact with for years.
