Top ten questions to ask yourself when buying a car

Posted on February 25, 2015

Buying a
new or certified used car is an exciting prospect. Sometimes it's so exciting
that you lose sight of what you wanted and why. It's all too easy to get caught
up thinking about power, performance, colour, technology, features and specifications
when buying a car. Which is why we wrote this post.

While all
that is important, it is equally important not to overlook the reasons you're buying
a car in the first place. We want you to drive away happy for the long term. With
that in mind, here are the top ten questions to ask yourself when buying a new
car.

Do I need
to minimize running costs such as gas, insurance and spares?
Do I need a
car that will hold its value for future resale?
How much
space do I need for passengers and/or cargo?
Do I need
to buy one of the most reliable cars or one of the most advanced?
Will I usually
drive short distances or longer journeys?
Do I want
my car to be economical and environmentally-friendly?
Do I want
one of the safest cars available?
Do I need
to be sure the car will fit in my garage or parking space?
What length
of warranty am I looking for?
Does my car
need to be able to tow a trailer or carry heavy cargo?
