Buying a Car

After buying the car, insurance is the second most expensive aspect of ownership which is why we're writing you a quick guide to buying a car and the considerations you should make before putting your cash on the line.

Running Costs

It's not the first thing you think about when you see that flashy new sports car with a price tag in your price range, but you need to think about how much it will cost to run and what typical services costs are. What is the average mpg, how much is servicing, tyres are there any common problem with that model? These are all extremely important questions, just because you can afford to buy it doesn't mean you can afford to run it.

Insurance

As mentioned earlier, this is the second most expensive part of buying a car, it is essential that you get a quote BEFORE you buy the car. We often get people calling up for quotes on insurance, after they've parted with the cash and every so often the person just can't afford to pay for the insurance. This is such a simple oversight but it means that they have to sell the car without getting to drive it.

We are open 7 days a week so why not get a quote before you hand over your cash.

Suitable for Your Needs

We'd all love to be driving sports cars but unfortunately, we don't all have the luxury of owning 5 cars each with their own purpose. Will you need to carry around large objects regularly, do you need a 5 door or 3 door. Quite simply, you need to ask yourself why you're upgrading from your existing vehicle, what is it missing that you'd really like.

We are planning on publishing an article with some basic checks that you can make when actually looking at a car to avoid some of the most common mistakes.
