CHOOSING THE RIGHT
CAR (September 2009
Registrations)
DON'T get taken in by all
the glamorous
advertising -- buying a
car is a serious
business. Letting your
heart rule your head can
lead to all sorts of
trouble.
It's fine to get excited
about a pending new car
purchase. However, try
to stay calm so that the
decisions you make in
the dealership aren't
ones you regret in the
months and years to
come.
Getting it right first time
has never been so
important, what with the
need to spend money
wisely and secure an
attractive deal, which
should make this guide
essential readying.
MAKING YOUR MIND
UP
You're not doing yourself
any favours by lusting
over a two-seat Porsche
Boxster if you're
planning a family, while a
Range Rover might
prove a bind if you live
on your own in a busy
street with tight parking.
Being realistic is the key
here. For instance, you
might decide you need a
car with at least four
seats, good fuel
economy and excellent
safety features. You'd
like a big boot and a
sunroof if possible but
you definitely don't need
an automatic gearbox.
LET'S SHOP!
You've read about the
fantastic new Ford Fiesta
-- don't just rely on your
nearest dealer for the
best price. For the best
deals it's worth shopping
around to see what other
Ford dealers have to
offer. And remember, the
Internet is a useful tool
and can save you
valuable time.
FINDING THE FUNDS
Securing the right
finance deal can prove
stressful and confusing.
Buy now, pay later; pay
half now and half later;
sign up for an agreed
future value package --
each has pros and cons
so work out which is
best for you and don't
be afraid to seek
independent advice.
Again, the Internet can
be a wonderful tool, but
don't forget your humble
high street bank. Don't
be in a rush to sign up to
a manufacturer scheme
without shopping
around.
LIVING WITHIN YOUR
MEANS
Often forgotten in the
heat of striking a deal, a
car's insurance rating
can make a big
difference to your overall
running costs -- make
sure you do some
research and get a few
quotes before
proceeding. It's the
same for fuel
consumption and
emissions. Ask yourself if
the car's tax band is
acceptable and you can
live with its thirst. And
don't be tempted to put
off researching a car's
future residual value just
because you won't be
selling again for a couple
of years, either. Get it
wrong and you might be
staring at a big loss.
GUARANTEED TO
PLEASE
The car warranty
landscape has changed
in recent years. The
straightforward three-
year scheme is no
longer the only game in
town. Just like with
finance, some
manufacturers are
bundling pre-paid
servicing packages with
their cars. These deals
vary and can either
provide total cover for
the first three years or
just focus on exempting
you from paying for
scheduled maintenance.
The packages can make
a lot of financial sense,
but do read the small
print.
COMFORTABLE WITH
YOUR CHOICE?
Research is key to years
of happy ownership,
which is why you should
look further than just the
numbers. There's
nothing worse than
feeling uncomfortable
when sitting in a chair.
Now imagine having
paid 10s of thousands
for that chair -- and for
the rest of the car. That's
why poking, prodding
and testing your future
purchase thoroughly is
important.
And don't forget to ask
yourself if it will carry all
your stuff with ease, be
easy to park and fit in
your parking space at
home or place of work.
Don't scrimp on safety
either, as ABS, ESP and
plenty of airbags should
be part of the standard
package.
CONSUMER confidence
is returning to the car
market, according to
new figures on the price
paid for new vehicles.
The average purchase
price per vehicle has
risen from �16,522 in
January 2009 to �18,876
now, internet car broker
www.drivethedeal.com
said.
The company said
consumers had been
ordering more expensive
cars again but there
were still good deals
around.
Richard Sanders,
managing director of
www.drivethedeal.com,
said: "The trend we are
seeing is that consumers
are spending more on
their car purchase than
they were at the
beginning of the year, on
average �2,354 more.
"Consumers are still
looking for a deal and
are not prepared to pay
manufacturers' full list
price when they don't
have to, but will invest in
the car they want."
