4 Things to Think About Before Buying Your Next Car

Are you currently thinking about buying a new car? Whether you are buying new or used, it is likely to be an expensive outgoing, right? So, it makes sense that you think very carefully and take the time to make the right choice for you. 

Here are a few things to think about that will help you with that:

How much can you afford?

First of all, think about how much you can actually afford to spend on your car. This should not just be about the cost of buying the car itself, but also ensuring it, fueling it, and repairing it too because it all adds up and you do not want to be left lumbered with a car you can ill afford to run.

New or used?

Is a fresh and shiny car really necessary? Would you rather buy used so that you avoid the rapid depreciation that comes with new cars and retain as much value as possible? Think about it before you buy.

What will it be used for?

There’s no point buying a sporty 2-seater if you need to ferry the family around or an off-road vehicle if you only ever drive 4to town. Work out what you need it for and it will be easier to pick the perfect car.

Manual or automatic?

Automatic vs manual cars? Which one should you choose? This is a debate that has been raging since the option became available, and one that the infographic below is probably best placed to help you with.
