Buying a car is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. Here are Carfundo’s best tips to ensure you drive away happy!
1. Know Your Budget
Set a clear budget including insurance, road tax, and maintenance. Use finance calculators to estimate monthly costs.
2. Understand Finance Options
Leasing, PCP, HP, and personal loans — each have pros and cons. Read more about car finance options here.
3. Research Before Viewing
Always check specs, real-world MPG, insurance groups, and car reviews before stepping onto a dealership forecourt.
4. Inspect Carefully
Look for service history, tyre condition, paintwork issues, and always ask for an independent vehicle inspection if buying used.
5. Negotiate Smartly
Use market data from platforms like AutoTrader and Carwow to negotiate fair prices. Don’t be afraid to walk away!
