Pacific Beach celebrates life the
Brazilian way T
he sixth annual, soccer-themed Brazilian Day San Diego Street Fair and parade kicks off at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 8 with a festive celebration on five blocks of Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. A carnival-style parade with vibrant floats, extravagant costumes and energetic music starts at 3 p.m. and is the highlight of the festival, which runs until 7 p.m. There will also be nonstop entertainment on two stages, including musical bands, dance ensembles, a food court, a vendor’s exhibition and a kids’ zone. Billed as the biggest Brazilian Day on the West Coast, this year’s free festival celebrates the 2014 World Cup in Brazil to be held June 12 through July 13. The 20th World Cup, being held for the second time in Brazil and the first time in South America since Argentina hosted in 1978, is expected to sell 3.3 million tickets worldwide. Held every four years, the last World Cup was hosted by South Africa in 2010. Brazilian Day producer Paulo Batuta said the beaches and the large local contingent of Brazilians makes Pacific Beach the ideal venue to host the South American country’s independence-day celebration. “Brazilians refer to San Diego as the Rio de Janeiro of the United States,” said Batuta. “San Diego is one of the best places for Brazilians to come, many of whom live here.” Batuta said the area’s geography, with its beaches and bays, is reminiscent of Rio. Brazilian Day will bring a touch of Rio to San Diego, promised Batuta. “It will bring the flavor of the Brazilian carnival and the highlights of that event — the music, the dance, the parade, the floats and the colors,” he said, adding the event’s diverse SEE BRAZIL >> PG. 9

A look at the beach booze ban, six years later Six years after the Labor Day melee that ultimately led to the citywide alcohol ban on beaches, some say the ban has had a calming effect, as well as making beaches safer and cleaner. On Labor Day in 2007, several hundred people crowded the section of Pacific Beach near Reed Street. When police officers responded to reports of fighting in the crowd about 5 p.m., they were pelted with full beer cans, plastic bottles and size D batteries by the crowd. Seventeen arrests were made, offenders were forcibly removed and a call for 70 additional officers to handle the crowd was put out. Mission Boulevard was closed near Reed Street for part of that evening. District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer arrived at the scene at about 6 p.m. to find police in riot gear and a helicopter overhead. A day later, Faulconer held a press conference, durNOT-SO-QUIET RIOT Police showed up in riot gear during a 2007 melee ing which he pronounced, “Never again should we have to in Pacific Beach at which 17 people were arrested. The incident spurred the have police in riot gear walking down our beaches or have to eventual ban of alcohol on all county beaches.

was one of the only counties in California that still allowed alcohol on the beaches. The Labor Day incident motivated Faulconer and the City Council to pass a one-year trial alcohol ban by ordinance. A year later, after years of debate and a year-long taste of alcohol-free beaches, San Diego voters finally drove booze off the beach permanently with the passage of Proposition D. When the measure passed, Scott Chipman, Pacific Beach resident and spokesman for the Yes on D campaign, said the alcohol-ban campaign owed its success to “city residents who saw the difference the temporary ban made.” Six years later, Chipman said the ban has helped, but more remains to be done. “Violent crime, DUI and drunkenness is still way too com-

News Activists, SeaWorld still at odds over captivity A recent worldwide animalrights group’s protest of SeaWorld, including the site in San Diego, has rekindled debate over the appropriateness of keeping marine mammals in captivity. “We must let SeaWorld and all captive facilities know that we will not stop being a voice for these precious creatures who have lost their right to freedom, their right to live a natural life and [who] are now imprisoned, artificially inseminated and forced to perform tricks for food — all for human entertainment,” said Ellen Ericksen, San Diego spokeswoman for Empty the Tanks, during a July 27 global anti-captivity protest joined by about 150 picketers outside SeaWorld San Diego on Mission Bay. SeaWorld officials are of a different mind. “The protesters’ claims and accusations are without merit,” said SeaWorld San Diego’s communications director Dave Koontz. “There is no organization more passionately committed to the physical, mental and social care and well-being of animals than SeaWorld. The real advocates for animals are the trainers, aviculturists, animal-care staff and veterinarians at SeaWorld.” Rachel Greenhalgh, a Sea Shepherd volunteer and founder of Empty the Tanks, said the protest

Sharky the seal gets another chance at life A YEAR-OLD HARBOR SEAL rescued by SeaWorld recovered from life-threatening shark bite wounds and was returned to the ocean on Aug. 2. “Sharky” was found lethargic and injured on the beach in La Jolla on June 28. SeaWorld’s rescue team brought her back to the park, where they flushed and cleaned her wounds, treated a mild infection and administered antibiotics. Sharky was joined by two other marine mammals rescued and rehabilitated by SeaWorld: and a year-old female harbor seal that was entangled in fishing line and a sea lion pup suffering from severe malnourishment. This year has been a busy one for SeaWorld’s rescue team, with more than 400 marine mammals rescued on local beaches.

How to save thousands when selling your home. LA JOLLA, When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression,” and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pric-
ing too low. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need).” This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell at the price you want.

BAN

mon in the business district,” he said, though he added, “Positive change is in the wind, and that wind increased dramatically with the change in alcohol policy at the beach.” But not everyone was — or is — happy with the beach alcohol ban, nor does everyone believe it’s necessary, fair and impartially applied. “I opposed it, and I still oppose it,” said Paul Falcone, a member of the Pacific Beach Planning Group speaking on his own behalf. “It’s such a small percentage of people who are causing a problem.” Falcone said there are more than enough regulations already dealing with alcohol on the beach, adding, “We don’t need to ban it for everybody.” The beach alcohol ban has negatively impacted beach communities, Falcone contends. “Beach businesses have suffered dramatically, their revenues are down almost 50 percent since the ban,” he said, arguing the ban is also driving people away from the beaches — and away from beach businesses — especially on all-important summer holiday weekends. “We went from averaging 2 million people on the Fourth of July holiday weekend to 400,000,” Falcone said. “The bottom line is it has taken away a lot of our freedoms,” Falcone said, noting that 2008’s Prop. D, which made the alcohol ban permanent, only passed by a 51 to 49 percent margin. “People in the beach areas voted 65 percent against the ban,” said Falcone. “It was other areas voting for it that caused it to pass.” Falcone’s comments were echoed by Robert Rynearson of freepb.org, which opposed the ban back in 2008. “The fact is, we have no beach ban. We just have a permitting system that’s being administered unfairly,” Rynearson said. “They’re depriving people of their rights.” Though some argued that an alcohol-free policy was an overreaction to an isolated incident, Chipman said he felt the ban was an idea whose time had come. “For over a decade, local residents had been expressing concern about binge drinking, public drunkenness, beer bongs and alcohol luges, and lewd behavior and drunken preriotous conditions that had become commonplace in Pacific and Mission Beach,” he said. Chipman contends, however, that the Labor Day riot was the catalyst for much-needed change. “Prior to the riot, there wasn’t the political will to address the issue,” he said, adding drinking at the beach in San Diego had become an “institution.” Retired San Diego lifeguard John Greenhalgh remembers the 2009
BOOZE NO MORE Revelers crowd the beach at the 2007 Labor Day incident that sparked the ban on alcohol at San Diego beaches. In the midst of the crowd is a group of police in riot gear that attempted to quell the outburst. PAUL HANSEN
Labor Day fracas well. He recalls predicting it. “I had said prior to that that a riot was going to have to occur before they got alcohol removed from the beach. That was going to be the straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Greenhalgh, who credited Faulconer for taking decisive action in proposing what was, at that time, an unpopular beach alcohol ban, which the lifeguard characterized as “a very risky move” politically. Greenhalgh said he worked with the political campaign to get alcohol banned at the beach. “I felt it was important. I understand that people thought it was a right, but I thought it was a privilege,” he said.
It’s such a small percentage of people who are causing a problem ... The bottom line is it has taken away a lot of our freedoms. PAUL FALCONE ANTI ALCOHOL BAN ADVOCATE
The retired lifeguard said there’s been a real “sea change” in the way the beachfront looks and feels, now that the alcohol ban is firmly in place. “My wife and I were walking on the boardwalk the other day and I was just amazed at how much cleaner it was, no urine stench, and how much safer it felt,” he said. “Overall, there’s a lot less trash on the beach. There are less people stumbling around intoxicated. It’s almost like the residents were under siege. It’s just a better situation now.” The beach alcohol ban has been good for lifeguards, allowing them to provide more focus on prevention and water safety, said San Diego lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma. “Prior to the alcohol ban, lifeguards were spending an inordinate amount of time with alcohol-related or [alcohol]-induced issues, including fights and disorderly conduct,” Lerma said. “There were many medical issues related to extreme intoxication, including unconscious or disoriented individuals who had overimbibed. These
issues were very distracting for lifeguards and took time away from other beach management priorities.” Lerma said one of the most significant issues for lifeguards was managing water safety when intoxicated individuals would head to the water. “Intoxicated individuals tend to ignore the direction of lifeguards attempting to warn them out of ripcurrent areas and are less able to overcome challenging physical stressors,” he said. “Intoxicated individuals do not always exhibit the survival ability necessary for a lifeguard to affect a rescue.” Lerma said the majority of beachgoers continue to respect the alcohol ban. “With the majority of people abiding by the alcohol ban, it has not been overly taxing for lifeguards to enforce,” he said. Lerma said the ban has made a qualitative difference in the beach experience. “There is no question that the beach has much less drama than it did prior to the ban,” he said. “The Pacific Beach area would be littered with trash daily prior to the ban. The area is now a much more familyoriented experience that all can enjoy.” SDPD Northern Division Capt. Brian Ahearn said the ban has made law enforcement’s job easier as well as changing the social climate along the coast. “It’s a lot less violent. We’re not responding to the same degree of violent crimes, especially the assaulttype of cases, sexual assaults,” he said. “There’s been a dramatic reduction. With less alcohol consumption on the sand, it’s given us the ability to respond to other types of calls that took us longer to get to in the past.” Ahearn said families and people of all ages, many of whom were put off before by disruptive behavior from excessive alcohol consumption, are returning to the beachfront. “They know it’s going to be an enjoyable environment and they’re not going to have to deal with arrogant or inebriated people who are disruptive. It’s a big change … [The police have] moved on, the community’s moved on. It’s in the rear-view mirror.”

Barnard Elementary brings Mandarin language instruction to PB By DAVE SCHWAB The location may have changed, but Barnard Elementary’s mission remains unchanged: emphasizing global education with Mandarin Chinese instruction. Named for its original location in Point Loma, Barnard Asian Pacific Language Academy hasn’t changed its name despite having moved from 930 Barnard St. in Point Loma to 2445 Fogg St. in Pacific Beach. Principal Edward Park toured the grounds of the relocated magnet school, formerly Bayview Terrace Elementary, enthusing about Barnard’s new digs, its progressive program, being one of six schools in the Mission Bay “cluster” and its role in the larger community. “We want local people, local businesses to come by and support the schools,” said Park. “We’ve got a very special community. I know for a fact these parents want to make positive changes in this community. And we’re doing everything we can to be as special as possible and create opportunities for everyone, like the Mandarin program.” The most spoken language in the world, Mandarin is the primary language taught at Barnard, whose students spend half the day learning it and its thousands of written characters. The idea behind Barnard’s programming is that, through integration with the Mandarin Chinese culture, including the arts, music and literature, students will develop the ability to successfully use their knowledge to think and act globally and become thoughtful, responsible and successful global citizens. The blending of a world-language program with a challenging and well-rounded academic program also taught in English enables Barnard students to face and triumph over the challenges of the 21st century, said Park. “It supports the mission of all our schools in Mission Bay, which is to be globalized,” he said. The Mandarin Chinese magnet program started out six years ago in Point Loma in a 65-year-old rundown facility with just 130 students.
“It was a school that wasn’t going anywhere,” said Park. “We instituted the Mandarin language program and got a whole slew of partnerships and students coming from different places all over San Diego County. Now we’re looking at about 430 students with a waiting list — and we’ll probably even extend it more next year.” Park showed off Barnard’s office lobby, which is full of plaques and photos honoring the school and its achievements. The principal has spent a lot of time and effort redecorating the school, hanging out lanterns and adding other touches of Chinese culture like dragons (symbolic of renewal) and lots of red coloring (symbolizing new life). Park said a new educational approach is being championed at the school. “Were trying to make sure our teachers interact with our students rather than a lecture style,” he said. “We want children surrounding teachers instead of the teacher here, and students over there. That creates space and we want collaboration. We want students to be engaged. We want a lot of conversation happening, not like the olden days where teachers continued to talk and kids just listened. Now we want to bring out their creativity and their innovative mind set.” Barnard also has the latest technological educational innovations, like Promethean, a high-powered display whiteboard that combines touch interactivity with integrated sound. “It brings the students closer to our innovative style of learning,” said Park, demonstrating the use of the new high-tech board. “I just love doing Google Earth,” he said, focusing the large Promethean screen in on the Great Wall of China, demonstrating just how cutting-edge an educational tool the system can be. Commenting on his new school and larger, more modern facilities, Park said, “It’s awesome. I love it. It’s bigger, better. We have a wealth of energy. We’re very happy about it.”
With Labor Day looming, it’s back-to-school time for coastal San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) students as they turn the page on another summer and begin a new academic calendar year starting Tuesday, Sept. 3. Principals at Pacific Beach schools like Mission Bay High School (MBHS) say they’re ready for students to return and have lots of great educational developments in store for them in the new year. “The theme for MBHS this year seems to be change, with the biggest change to be the introduction of the Common Core Standards,” said principal Frederick Hilgers. “All summer, our teachers have been collaboratively working on new units of study and incorporating the Common Core Standards.” Hilgers said MBHS staff produced over 30 new academic units ranging from art to science. “Students will not only notice the new academic units, but that our school day is longer, dismissal is now 2:14 p.m. and that we have added a couple of more minimum days,” he said. “Those minimum days will allow staff to prepare for our accreditation visit in March.” MBHS’s principal said the accreditation process, better known as “WASC,” is a normal process that high schools go through every three to six years. “We have been engaged in a self study related to this process for over a year,” said Hilgers, adding students will finally be seeing some structural changes as a result of that process. “Our schedule has been modified to be an eight-period schedule over two days,” he said. “Students will attend periods one to four on one day, and then periods five to eight on the next.” Hilgers said athletics at MBHS has been moved to after school, following the trend of other SDUSD schools. “We’re really focusing on academic course offerings, and we have increased our elective offerings to include drama, choir and music theory,” said Hilgers. Music theory — and practice — are hallmarks of Crown Point Elementary School, which has a new principal this year, Muriel Bartolini. Bartolini intends to further the high-profile school’s status as a music academy, offering Suzuki violin training for students and parents alike. “I was just appointed here and I’ve been learning the school for the last 30 days,” said Bartolini, noting the K-5 school at 4033 Ingraham St. with about 333 projected students this year takes great pride in its “family connection” with music. “That is unique, we are the only

school that offers that,” said Bartolini about Japanese-based Suzuki violin training, which she said is “not just playing a violin. You’re learning how to read music and be part of its development, which goes all through the grade levels starting in kindergarten.” The departure of Bayview Terrace Elementary School, which has been replaced by Barnard School, a Mandarin Chinese language magnet, has increased Crown Point’s student population. “Bayview’s students have been dispersed to other schools like ours,” Bartolini said, adding her school has become something of a neighborhood magnet. What’s new at Crown Point this year? “We have purchased a whole new writing curriculum built around common core standards,” Bartolini said. “We’re going to be using the curriculum to focus in on writing to help our students become better communicators, and to expose them more to that medium.” Bartolini said the elementary school’s mission this year will be to “really put ourselves out in the community and show everybody what Crown Point stands for.” Scott Barnett, SDUSD board member for Subdistrict C that covers the beaches, said there are still some negatives with the district’s financial picture heading into the new year. “The budget shortfall is close to
$90 million and we’re going to have to sell about $60 million of real estate for one-time revenues just to balance the budget this year, and the following year it could be $50 million or more,” he said. “It’s not inconceivable we’ll have to go with the pink-slip scenario again in six months.” But Barnett said there are some encouraging developments, with the state economy turning around and the governor and legislature committing more money toward schools. There are encouraging signs, too, he said, that the district is fulfilling its educational mission. “I’m confident we’re going to have a much more accountable system in both the academic and business side of this district,” he said. “I’ve seen more change in the attitude and culture in just the 45 days since Ms. [Cindy] Marten has been superintendent than I’ve seen in the last three years as a board member.” Barnett said the watchword along the beachfront with schools this year is “change,” with 40 new principals in the subdistrict. Heading into the school year, Barnett stressed the importance of harnessing technology and using it as an educational tool. “As many as 80 percent of the kids in this district have some kind of device — iPhones, laptops, iPads, etc. — that they bring to school and we need to be flexible and integrate those devices with our school technology,” he said. “We want to make it possible for every student to bring something home with them because learning doesn’t stop when school ends.” SDUSD is the second-largest district in the state, serving more than 132,000 students in 223 educational facilities. The district includes 116 elementary schools, 24 middle schools, 26 high schools, 44 charter schools and 14 atypical/alternative schools. It is also one of the most diverse districts, representing more than 15 ethnic groups and more than 60 languages and dialects.

LIVEMUSIC >> Tributes: Santana, jazz, metal and a fallen icon On Aug. 31 at 9 p.m., Café-Bar Europa will be the site of a tribute show dedicated to the music of guitarist Carlos Santana. Featuring the group Santana Pa Ti, the night will spotlight the music of one of the biggest stars to emerge from the Woodstock era. With hits in the 1960s and 1970s, including such favorites as “Evil Ways,” “Oye Como Va” and “Europa,” Santana’s late 1990s run of hits like “Smooth” have only enhanced his rep as a pioneer in everything from sweet soul to world music. If you’re a fan of Latin tinged rock, this show is the week’s best bet.

Cannonball makes a big splash With the major overhaul taking place at Belmont Park, renovations wouldn’t be complete without a unique new dining concept to draw residents and visitors to the beach for some top-flight fare. Cannonball, situated on a 6,000square-foot rooftop and overlooking Mission Beach, is bringing Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine to the complex. Though it officially opened the weekend of July 4, part of the facility is still undergoing upgrades, after which it will function at its full huge capacity.
The menu’s offerings are essentially two-fold: one side features small-ish plates meant for sharing, with dishes running the gamut from steamed mussels with a Thai basil coconut broth to chicken osso bucco with a chile glaze, or grilled scallops with chorizo, corn and pasilla peppers to a seared ahi salad. The other side of the menu features sushi and rolls — though many of them are not your typical sushi offerings. Chef Brad Wise, formerly of Pacific Beach’s JRDN, said his Latino sushi chef often infuses his creations with a decidedly His-

panic flair — and it works. The Enfuego roll (crab, avocado, torchseared salmon and roasted garlic aioli) is a favorite, and the lobster roll (lobster, avocado, eel sauce and aioli, with a light and crispy tempura wrap) blends flavors one wouldn’t expect to find in a sushi restaurant. Wise said the menu will change occasionally with the seasons, though the most popular favorites will remain. His inspiration comes from an eclectic mix of flavors that combine to create a truly unique menu. The eatery’s cocktail menu offers inspired creations, as well. The Bellyflop, with Grey Goose vodka, watermelon purée, lemon juice, simple syrup and cucumber is a particularly tasty treat on a hot day. The menu also offers top-notch beers and wines to pair with the savory fare.

The restaurant is designed to resemble an empty swimming pool, with pool tiles, lounge chairs, fire pits and depth indicators (4 ft., 5 ft.). Servers seem ready to come to your rescue in pool lifeguard-type wear. Though the entire restaurant is located out in the open, there exists some overhead cover for inclement weather and heat lamps for cool evenings. The people watching, meanwhile, is unparalleled, with views onto both the boardwalk and the beach. Cannonball is open seven days a
week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit www.cannonballsd.com or call (858) 2289283.

Bahia offers a bit of Brazil each summer By KENDRA HARTMANN Brazil Day San Diego, one of Pacific Beach’s — and arguably the entire city’s — most anticipated events, comes around once a year. For those who miss it, that could mean major disappointment. There is, however, another option for residents and visitors to get their fill of all things Brazil, at least during July and August. The Bahia Hotel offers a taste of South America every Thursday during the summer months with its Brazilian Carnaval. Situated on the hotel’s private beach on Mission Bay (beware — you will get sand in your shoes and elsewhere), the evening spec-

activities and more than 100 vendors are expected to draw an estimated 50,000 guests on festival day. “It’s totally free and we will have areas for adults where alcohol is served, as well as places for families and an area for kids,” Batuta said. Local bands and bands from Brazil, including Rio’s renowned
Monobloco, known for incorporating diverse rhythms and musical styles, will be on stage. The festival provides an unparalleled opportunity for the entire coastal community to come together and embrace the cultural flavors, sounds and arts of Brazil. Vendors will serve up authentic
tacular features an authentic Brazilian buffet, including calamari salad, Brazilian rice, feijoada (pork and black bean stew) and moqueca de peixe (Brazilian fish stew). Dinner also includes a carving station with churrasco-style beef, and kids can get their fill at a children’s buffet. The food is worth coming for, but the real attraction is the entertainment. Dancers, musicians and martial artists all perform on stage for the duration of the evening, with samba, capoeira and exotic performances taking place one after another. For those who arrive early, another surprise is in store. Exotic animals make an appearance prior to the evening’s entertainment. On a recent Thursday, caretakers from Wild Wonders brought rescued animals — including a friendly armadillo — for an upclose-and-personal encounter with audience members. The event takes place Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. For tickets or more information, visit www.bahiahotel.com/dining-entertainment/brazilian-carnaval/.

thing an awful lot like them.” Answering the argument that captive animals like orcas, commonly called killer whales, range freely in the wild and are denied that opportunity in marine parks, Feldman responded, “There’s a lot of evidence that animals that travel long distances in the world in search of food don’t travel those distances when food is present.” Feldman said how well — and ethically — animals in zoos, aquariums and marine parks are treated is frequently overlooked. “Our enrichment program ensures we meet the physical, social and psychological needs of the animals,” he said. Enrichment is about “stimulating the natural behaviors in animals.” Feldman said the interaction of humans with marine mammals “stimulates play behavior and is really enriching for the animals.” Feldman said people who haven’t been to the zoo or a marine park in 20 or 30 years have “missed out on an awful lot.” “There’s been a lot of transformation of them into models of conservation, scientific research and education,” he said. “Much of what we know about physiology and reproductive biology comes from the work that SeaWorld and others have done, and that is directly transferable to conservation of animals in the wild.”

Police said the eastbound Acura made a left-hand turn into the path of the westbound motorcyclist and the two vehicles collided. The victim was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The police traffic division is investigating. — Dave Schwab CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PETERS (D), representative of California’s 52nd District
made a special guest appearance to the Pacific Beach Town Council on Aug. 21. Peters is in favor of a “no budget/no pay” policy for Congress and separating records for Pentagon and Veterans Affairs to make them more manageable. Peters’ visit included an update on the latest in Washington, D.C., after which he fielded questions from residents on topics like healthcare, energy, Veterans Affairs, why the Walter Reed Hospital in D.C. is closed on the weekends and — in relation to the Bob Filner scandal — a better way to vet candidates. Peters’ overall message was the importance for all members of the political spectrum to set aside differences, work together and find solutions. — Keith Antigiovanni

Purchasing Power is Key When Buying a Vehicle Attention San Diego residents: are you considering buying a new or used vehicle this summer? Interest rates are at record lows. If you’re in a good financial position to buy, now is the time to get an affordable loan. So, where should you start? Purchasing power is crucial when it comes to buying a vehicle and it’s important to make sure you’re spending within your financial means. Along with conducting research before choosing a make and model, there are steps you can take to ensure you’re getting the best possible deal. Here are five tips to getting the most car for your money with a payment you can live with:

purchase a car. Go back to step 1 if need be. Once you’ve made sure all your debts are in good-standing and that you’re financially-able to take on a car payment, you’re ready for the next step. Step 3: Check Your Credit Score Getting a car loan at the best possible rate requires a good credit score. Before applying for an auto loan, it’s best to get a copy of your credit report. Although financial institutions will check your credit when applying for a loan, having your report in advance gives you the chance to correct any discrepancies before applying. This leads to a quicker application process and prevents denial because of a credit report error unbeknownst to you. All Navy Federal members can get a free credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com . Step 4: Shop Around for the Best Rate Rates are low right now. Before walking into a dealership, check interest rates at different lenders and read the fine print for any hidden fees. The key to a good auto loan is striking the right balance between the rate and how long to finance the loan. New vehicles will have a lower interest rate, but the monthly payments will be larger. Look for the shortest term you can afford without breaking your budget. Step 5: Get Pre-approved Once you’ve shopped around, increase your buying power by visiting your chosen lender and getting a quick, pre-approved loan. A salesperson will be more willing to bargain if how much you’ve been approved for and what are willing to pay has already been determined. Keep your payment threshold in mind and allow your preapproval to lead discussions at the negotiating table. It’ll result in purchasing a car at a price that’s right for your budget. If you’re looking to purchase a vehicle this spring, follow these five steps to ensure you’re buying within your means and getting the best possible deal. By doing your homework and talking with a lender, you’ll save and smile as you drive away from the dealership!

Step 1: Know What You Can Afford Your first step when making any large purchase should be to assess your current financial situation. Review your monthly income, subtract all anticipated expenses, and make sure there’s money left to not only afford a car payment, but also to contribute to your savings. Adding a car payment to your monthly budget shouldn’t leave you without money remaining for things like groceries or unexpected expenses. Step 2: Review Your Credit Inventory Take a comprehensive look at your at your current debt. Are you in good-standing on all prior loan commitments and credit cards? If not, it may be difficult to obtain financing at a low interest rate, which will result in a higher monthly payment. So, if you’re behind on other loans, take the steps now to get in good shape to
