Buying your first car, and a new one too at that, is no easy task. It’s a capital investment, requiring thorough financial planning for both maintenance & ownership. The documentation fees alone can be scary in unregulated states. And there is the car salesperson with aggressive pitches to curb.
But there is a simple way to go. Just consider three simple questions!
-
So, What Kind of a Car Am I Looking For?
That’s a hard one to answer if only you had done your research. Based on your budget, your needs in a car, the fuel efficiency, after-sale value, and ownership costs, can you decide on what make & model works best for you? If you’re a college grad, you can do with a pre-owned 2015 Dodge Charger with an excellent high mileage (strong engine!), and if you are looking for a family car, then may we suggest the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport. However, if you need aesthetics with horsepower, then the 2022 Honda Civic Sedan SPORT is a pricy option but a great one nonetheless.
-
Hmmm, Can I Sustain the Loan Installments on This Buy?
A smart way to get about this is to budget for the car you desire. If it’s a luxury car and you can afford to spare no expense, then we can suggest the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan that comes in variable transmission & hybrid fuel, but if it’s a budget buy, then better to look for a CPO or a pre-owned. Then it would help if you asked the car dealership for purchase & documentation details when you have negotiated the price, the financing rates, and the car insurance. After this whole process, you can conclude whether cash will do or you have sufficient stable income to cover the loan. If you want neither new nor pre-owned ownership, a car lease is an option.

Do I Really Need the Top-Notch Add-Ons?
The thing about add-ons is, they are meant to make your drive experience better. They can be safety features, technological gadgets, or even digital systems. You will need to weigh the pros & cons of every add-on to decide which one you need. Depending on your selection, the markup can go up or be reduced. You have to ensure warranties are available and then stick to your dedicated dealership for all repair, service & parts replacements. That will keep your car & add-ons in excellent shape at low-cost overall maintenance.
The Bottom Line?
Make some inquiries. Don’t go into the dealership without anything planned because you could regret your purchase afterward. While you may not know precisely what you want when you first walk into the dealership, you should have a general idea so that you aren’t viewing every automobile on display.
