Explanation:

To solve this question about car buying best practices, we analyze each option:

1. "You have to get your car loan from the dealer" – False. Car loans can come from banks, credit unions, or dealers; you aren’t required to use the dealer’s loan.
2. "You have to have a mechanic inspect before a test drive" – False. A pre - purchase inspection (after test drive, before buying) is common, but a test drive usually happens first, and inspection isn’t mandatory before the test drive.
3. "You should only buy a car if you can buy it without a loan" – False. Many people use car loans responsibly, and buying a car with a loan is a common and valid financial choice if managed properly.
4. "You should shop around for the best price" – True. Shopping around (comparing prices at different dealerships, checking private sellers, etc.) helps you find the most favorable deal, saving money and ensuring you get the best value.

Answer:

The correct option is "You should shop around for the best price" (the fourth option in the visible list).
