6 Mistakes First-Time Car Buyers Should Avoid

10/21/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
​We are all excited for our first car. It is the point that we can prove that we can genuinely handle responsibility. After all the time that you’ve been saving for that car, you must be careful about which car to buy. In this article, I will list down the six things that you should avoid buying your vehicle.
Form over Function
Usually, we all go on how the car will look like, not thinking about how it will function or how good and durable the machine is. You should not let this overrule your head. Always aim for comfort and safety. You can go to the showroom and check the functionality and do a test drive as well to check if you are comfortable with the car that you choose to buy.
 
Also, cars are depreciating assets. So, do not go for something more than you can afford. If you are buying a brand-new car, it will stick with you for a much longer time.
 
Limiting Your Options
Another vital tip, do not make a deal with the first dealer you visit. There are many car dealerships out there, so take your time and effort to check out with a few of units before you decide. You might find out a better deal while you go along the road in checking those units.
 
Do not get too excited over any unit; it may give the car dealer all the more reasons to not lower down the price.
 
Under Pressure
Do not buy under pressure. If the car dealer senses an opportunity to close the deal, they will go for it. Do not be fooled by their promises. Remember to:
  • Test drive the car first
  • If you are buying a used car, send it for a thorough inspection
  • Never settle for a vehicle that is in bad shape, it will be costly to fix it
  • Never hesitate to negotiate.
 
Know the Possible Hidden Cost
Make sure that you find out what the hidden cost is and do not be afraid to say no or negotiate. We all wanted to go home happy, but we need to work with them that will be fair for both parties. If you feel though that the dealer went the extra mile, then the admin fee might serve a goodwill payment.
 
Your Rights as A Consumer
As a consumer, knowing your rights is vital. If you want to buy a brand new car, then any defects found should be handled by your dealer within a specified period. They may either repair or replace the vehicle once proven that it was a manufacturing defect.
 
Used Car vs. New Car
Driving a new car is excellent. However, new vehicles have higher depreciation figures than used ones. Always go for practicality and not go over to something that will burden you financially. Just be patient in searching for a used car.
 
Conclusion
Owning a car is a necessity. That is why you should think it over before you buy your first car. Do not waste that money saved, besides; your first car will always hold a special place in your heart.
 
Make sure that you also invest in car insurance to keep your car safe and protected. Drive safely!
