Make sure you have no regrets over buying a new car

In an ideal world, buying a new car would be quick and straightforward. But that’s only the case when someone has put in the right groundwork, especially when it comes to finding the right model, and making the choice of where to buy it from.

A wise first step would be to visit local dealerships even before deciding what car you want. If the staff seem friendly and eager to do business with you, are willing to let you look at as many as you want to in order to find the right car, and will talk to you openly without seeming to try to hide anything from you, then things are likely to be promising. A good dealership will be proud of what it sells, and will understand your need to make the right decision. They won’t push you, and will be happy to answer all of your questions.

– How will you be financing your new car? If you’re choosing to do it through the dealership, how does the interest rate compare with those of the banks and other providers? Some dealerships will try to get buyers to use their own finance company, but it’s important not to feel pressured into doing so unless the deal they offer is at least comparable with what’s available elsewhere.

– Consider how valuable to you the incentives are which the dealership is offering. The manufacturer’s warranty often gives several years’ cover against common faults, but ask what is likely to happen once that has expired, and how expensive it is likely to be to extend the cover.

– Some dealers also make cashback offers, whereby a sum will be paid once a car has been bought from them. This can be useful, as it effectively reduces the amount of money which needs to be found up-front to cover the car’s purchase.

– Buying even a new car involves making some compromises. But getting it from a dealer with a proven record of customer satisfaction – which can be judged best these days by looking at what people say about it in online forums – will ensure that you can be as happy with those compromises as possible.

– Don’t let your heart rule your head when getting down to the business of buying a new car, because it’s a big investment, so look at everything carefully before you choose to make your purchase.
