Know the costs involved
It’s easy to get a little too excited when you decide to buy a car, and to rush into the process as a result. So before you start visiting car-yards, take some time and consider how buying and owning a car will impact your finances.
- You should also know that the type and size of your car will impact your registration costs. Generally, smaller, less powerful cars will cost less to register than high performance vehicles.
- Bear in mind the ongoing costs of ownership. Will you be able to afford to fuel and service your car in order to keep it on the road? If your car were to break down or need repairing, can you afford the servicing costs? Typically, European and high performance cars will require more expensive parts and servicing fees.
Once you have taken this all into account, you can look for your car with confidence.
