6 notes for first-time car buyers

(Baongheean.vn) - Among the countless car models appearing on the market today, making a decision to buy the most satisfactory car is not easy, especially for those without experience.Here are 6 tips for first-time car buyers.

1. Determine finances

This is the first thing you should pay attention to. Having money in hand is important because it helps you be more independent and ready to buy some necessary equipment.

Besides, buying a used car that has been used for a few years is a good option when you don’t have enough money. Note, when buying a used car, you must consider carefully, only choose the type that still has enough safety features, is modern and belongs to a reliable manufacturer.

2. Find the right car

The next car buying experience that you need to focus on is finding the right car model. Most young people always chase after cars with new technology, high-end features or are tempted by the invitation of friends, this is a serious mistake that you should avoid. Instead, rely on the budget you have and make a list of cars with corresponding prices.

Don't forget to determine your car buying needs to find information, filter suitable cars, or you can also ask for advice from relatives and knowledgeable people.

3. Go with someone who has a lot of experience with cars.

My advice to you is to go with someone who has a lot of experience buying cars or a good mechanic, if you are not confident in your knowledge of cars, your ability to test cars and your negotiation skills.

They will help you check and test drive the car, then tell you what the car's advantages are, how it feels to drive, how sensitive it is, and at the same time detect any existing problems or damage to the car and give you useful advice.

4. Consider choosing a car with many features

Many first-time car buyers tend to like to buy cars with a lot of features, for this reason, car sellers will always offer cars with the most features to sell at sky-high prices.

So, when you intend to buy, consider carefully the options and amenities that are really necessary and the ones you will never use to control the price of the car to suit your financial conditions.

5. Determine when to buy a car to get the best price

The selling price of each model often fluctuates depending on popularity, the time of sale, and a few other factors. For example, dealers often offer the best deals or sales incentives at the end of the month when they realize they are far from their sales goals.

Similarly, you can infer that at the beginning of the year when they have 10-11 months to reach their sales targets, it is very difficult for dealers to give in or offer promotions. But in the last months of the year, the pressure of sales combined with the need to clear old inventory to import new models... - that is the time to buy a car.

6. Don't forget to test drive the car before buying.

If you don't want to get frustrated with the inconveniences that a new car brings, such as uncomfortable seats, limited range... When buying a car, you should test drive it for about 30 minutes, enter and exit the highway, and test drive on a road similar to your daily route.

Also, don't forget to test drive competing cars to compare and confirm your choice is the best.
