• Set a budget – this must be realistic. Do not be tempted to make the budget fit the car. Include the cost of insurance, fuel and servicing.
• Decide how you are going to pay – a car loan, finance through a dealership, full payment?
• Decide what you want – be sure to consider what you need in a car. Is it to travel long distances, transport children or just for you?
• Check the internet to get an idea of current prices, makes and models.
• Make up a list of cars that are suitable (fit within budget and needs).
• Take the time to browse around different dealerships – ask salespeople for prices and deals.
• Although expensive a new car offers reliability, with warranties covering any repairs needed for a set amount of time after purchase – check time and details of these with dealers and compare them.
• Test drive all cars on the list – consider comfort, handling, parking and even colour (you may have the car for quite a long time).
• Test drive for at least 10-15 minutes on a variety of surfaces to give an idea of handling.
• Decide on 2-3 cars and write a list of good and bad points about each one.
• Pick one car and go back to various dealerships – ask them what their best price for the car is.
• Remember not to but impulsively – if you are getting fraught then go home and try again the next day.
• Be prepared to haggle a bit with dealers – ask them what they will include for the price (audio equipment, mats, tank of fuel). You are about to spend a lot of money with them, so they are likely to want to come to a deal.
