There’s no gamble involved when you buy from a franchised car dealership

When you’re thinking of buying a brand new car of van, it’s tempting to think that the process will be quick and straightforward. You simply go to the car dealership, choose your car and go, right?

But as with many areas in life, to fail to prepare is to prepare to fail. There are some things that you should consider before you start your car search that are going to make the difference between having a good experience and a bad one.

– Know about securing financing. Most of the time, new cars and vans involve a substantial financial outlay, which means that you are likely to have to finance your purchase. You need be as certain as possible that you will qualify for the financing you seek, or you might find that you’re making monthly payments that are just too high to afford. It doesn’t hurt to get together as much cash as possible up-front for a sizeable deposit, especially if you’re shopping for a car that is more expensive.

– It’s also essential that you look at any advertised deals that a car dealership is offering. Lots of car sellers will offer you incentives to purchase their cars or vans, and you need to make use of them if you can. For instance, if you choose to purchase a certain model of car, the dealership might be offering a certain amount for your trade-in and provide you with cashback. Low interest repayments are also commonly offered on specific models. Consider all of these benefits before you decide on where you will shop.

– Think about your needs for a car before you purchase one. How much do you drive? Is it just you or do you have a family? How many miles will you cover? You may only need something compact and that choice could save you lots of money, so planning ahead can help guide your choice.

– Set a budget, and see what level of monthly payment you will be able to afford. You don’t want to think a number sounds good only to find that you struggle to make your payments each month. Instead, take the time to look at your budget and get the numbers right. This will help you to buy your new car and get much more enjoyment from it.

– Don’t forget about the warranties. Warranties are a big deal, offering new car buyers substantial peace of mind, as well as providing an assurance that the car will be adequately maintained, at least for the period of their validity. Be sure that any new vehicle you choose will offer a comprehensive warranty for a long time. This is sure to save you some outlay in the long run.

Comprehensive and valuable warranties are provided as standard with new Leeds Land Rover and Guiseley Range Rover vehicles, which will help ensure several years’ worry-free driving.
