Buying a car is like choosing a life partner. I want him to be reliable, beautiful, happy every day and never betray. Therefore, there should be no rush in choosing a car. Although love at first sight sometimes happens to a car.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide how much you are willing to spend on buying a car. But in this amount, lay in insurance, and the installation of additional equipment, and the necessary purchases, such as winter tires and carpets. This should be taken into account especially by those who buy a car on credit. A loan, with all its convenience and accessibility, is fraught with one danger - you do not feel the movement of money. This means that you can take more money than you need and it will be more difficult to give this amount.
Step 2
If you decide to buy a new car, travel to car dealerships in search of the best deal. In general, all official dealers have about the same price for cars. But the prices for additional services can vary significantly. And the choice of trim levels and colors of the car can also be different. If the car is only delivered to order, look for a salon that promises to do it faster.
Step 3
Determine the make and model of the car. If you are hesitating between several options, compare the pros and cons of these machines. To do this, look at the crash test results, owner reviews and testing by reputable automotive publications.
Step 4
Calculate which of the selected models is more beneficial in terms of content. To do this, compare the fuel consumption of each vehicle. If you compare a diesel engine with a gasoline engine, do not forget that the apparent benefit of a diesel engine will then “backfire” on you by replacing the injectors. Find out how much scheduled maintenance costs and how often you need to do it. Find out the weaknesses of the machine. Let's say an automatic transmission on such a car does not last long, and repairs are expensive. Maybe, in this case, opt for a mechanical box that has proven itself reliably.
Step 5
Be sure to drive your car before buying. On a used car, this is the only way to identify serious problems with the chassis. Testing a new car will let you know if this is your car. After all, each driver drives differently and expects different degrees of control from the car. Sometimes some cars come as a really nice surprise. For example, having a rather modest engine power, they pick up speed very quickly. While its competitors with larger horses accelerate very slowly due to the greater body mass or the "leisurely" box.
