Buying a car can be a stressful time for many people. The great expense of buying a new vehicle makes us have second thoughts again and again wondering if we are buying properly. As we know that buying a new car is a challenge, hereโs a small list of helpful tips that can guide and help you during the process.
1. You must choose a car that suits your present and future needs as the bulk of the population holds their car between 8 and 13 years. You must ask yourself what are your present and future plans? Evaluate the potential of children and family holidays.
2. Do not believe everything youโre told by the seller or manufacturer as they will tell you only the good things about their product. You need to read the opinions of other brands and car tests and reviews of the vehicle.
3. Although it may seem difficult, you should think about the future value of the vehicle if you have to sell it, in order to not lose a lot of money in the transaction.
4. Currently, vendors and brands offer a test drive for their vehicles without compromise. Search for a while and take a tour with the car. First impressions are very important for decision making.
5. Never pay for what you find in the catalogue. Try searching the best price for your car on the internet, press and through online media. We suggest you visit several dealers of the brand for several quotes on the same vehicle and possible discounts and argue against the seller that you like.
6. Look for vehicles in stock. Although they may not conform to the equipment or colour you like, the units that are manufactured and unsold usually have the lowest price.
7. Ask and investigate about famous facelifts and restyling. Although it may seem silly, always try to buy the car with the latest specifications. It would not hurt to know what year they will change the model again because the closer the purchase date is to the approaching time of renewal of the model, cheaper the vehicle will be. This is because manufacturers and sellers try to remove the stock car before the renewal of the model.
8. If you have to finance your vehicle, do not be fooled by discounts for financing as in most cases, these discounts are ridiculous compared to the interest you will have to pay. However, there are some very good exceptions such as new cars from BMW which offer very appealing financing options.
9. We recommend you take a walk by the configurators that brands have on their website, print out the configuration you want and compare it with the budget that you have. This will not serve to compare prices but it will get you used to studying the equipment and possible packages and finishes that the model can have if you want and need.
10. When you find a good price from other regions search for internet dealers in communities near yours, grab the phone and call. In some cases there are differences ranging from 50 euros to 3,000 euros.
